Barbara and Burgers

Tina and Monica had a meeting of the minds today after they finished Helen (13:42 in case anyone is keeping track) Oh I went 12:46. In this highly intellectual meeting it was decided that since the pool is essentially closed the post workout gathering will be at Red Robin. So bring some dry clothes and we will head to Red Robin after the workout for some lunch and or refreshments.

Red Robin, YUM!

This will also conclude the Challenge so get back to posting as there are only 2 days left.

Milk

I agree with all the benefits of milk I think I can give it credit for much of the good attributes that I have. I can also almost guarentee I will be back at the utters as soon as I can. I was just getting to a point that I was a bit over the top with the Dairy. I was doing MC's family proud. I am pretty sure I was keeping a couple cows in business all by myself.

If I was really getting serious I would give up the sitting on the couch. I guess that will be where I play once I start on the milk again.

A workout but no milk in the books

I did the main sight WOD today and I must say I am looking forward to tomorrows Main Site WOD much happier. I guess if I drop some weight then the WOD today would have been easier. I must say I liked my pullups.

The Challenge

Starting Monday September 21st Concluding October 4th That is 2 whole weeks! This could be tough.

The challenge:

Give up one of your vices for the 2 weeks. Substitute a positive action in place of your negative vice. For example No Sugar; So instead of having syrup on my pancakes for breakfast I will have 2 scrambled eggs and 6 strawberries. Or No Diet Coke, Drink water instead. I know you know what your vices are but, incase you are having trouble coming up with a suitable vice to give up here is a short list to help you come up with an idea for yourself.

Double Mocha latte frapichino substitute regular coffee
Alcohol Substitute water
Tobacco Substitute a trip up and down all the flights of stairs in your house or office building
Diet Soda Sub Water
Sugar sub Fruit and veggies
Sitting on your butt watching TV going to the park with the family

If your vice is something that costs money set up a cookie jar to collect the money you do not spend to have a fund to celebrate with at the end of the challenge. Do this it will give you a visual cue for making healthier choices for yourself. You could even end up making a donation to a worthy charity at the end of the challenge, Just so you know I consider myself worthy.

I think you get the idea!

To hold you accountable you will need to post your sacrifices and improved choices to the Crossfit Inverness Blog www.crossfitinverness.blogspot.com

I will be looking for daily updates in the comments section of the blog. As more incentive to take part in this challenge and to report on yourself the most consistent reporter will receive 2 complementry 1 on 1 personal training sessions wish me, I know you may not be able to tell if this is reward or punishment go for it any way.
