Wow! 2 whole weeks down!
How did you all go on Melbourne Cup Day? We started out so well with that fantastic morning run at Mt Ainslie- hope you all continued along the same healthy path throughout the day…
I hear some of you wavered in your commitment to the challenge? (*ahem* Slug… capping your day conservatively at 100 points tells me you might just have been on of those to leave the racecourse stumbling with your skirt around your waist and shoes in hand… hmm??) Let’s get back on the horse this week hey? (No pun intended…)
K-Train nailing an emergency meat delivery on the night of Melbourne Cup Day- see there are always ways to avoid eating trashy booze and festival food!!!
This past weekend I had the opportunity to compete at the CF Newcastle Games Day- massive props to Darren and all the organisers, judges and competitors at the event- another great gathering!
The 4 WODs in one day really demonstrated to me just how important nutrition is for both performance and recovery. We could see first hand so many of the big firebreathers flagging out as they collected WODs throughout the event. Yes, 4 WODs in one day is tough- but even tougher if you haven’t sorted out some adequate post WOD nutrition plans. This requires prior preparation (especially at an all day event away from close sources of good food)!
Most of the success or failure we have with keeping up great nutrition practices (when we want to) comes down to preparation. Failure to prepare is to prepare for failure (someone smart said that- can’t remember who!)
So this week… get yourself together, think about what you are going to eat, and when, and nail your nutrition.
Post your total points for this past week, major struggles/triumphs, rad recipe ideas and three things you want to improve with your nutrition habits in the coming week to comments.
Don’t forget to send me your diary!
