I guess he’d argue with me about #1 and #9. Still love the Greek yogurt, what can I say? Working on it though!

and I always thought I was eating so healthy which I still do but I guess with crossfit more protein (although I am not a big meat eater can’t help it) is the way. But at the same time if I can do the WOD that rocks.

Holy crap I hated that WOD as much as I loved it!!! Thanks to Brandi for being my target and keeping me moving. Nice work 6 pm crew. I had a blast watching you all dig deep for this one!

Full Circle Farms will be delivered every Monday for pick-up between 3-8 or Tuesday morning during the 6 am WOD. I highly recommend you all give it a try!!

Marla, absolutely add some protein. When you are ready, set up a nutrition consult. We can make some suggestions that are very doable for you.

I think I’m going to sign up for the standard Box and probably add some eggs and beef to the mix. Do they have a set delivery day to KCF? I would love to use it as my pick-up site, but unless my wife is willing to drive out there when I am on duty, it could be tough to pick-up.

As for diet, I cannot stress how important a good diet is to anyone who is exercising/training at the level of CrossFit. Breakfast, as stated by many nutritionists, coaches and trainers, is the pinnacle of your metabolic load for the day. It should be as close to rounded out with a “Zone Diet” type of balance you can get it (that would be 40% caloric load from carbohydrates, 30% from protein and 30% from fat). If you wanted to treat it more like the “Zone Diet” and you ate a ’3 block meal’ then that would total 27g carbohydrates, 21g protein and 9g fat (the ‘Zone Blocks’ assume there is 1 block of fat for every 1 block of protein). A quick and easy meal to fix in the morning could look something like 2 eggs (NOT EGG WHITES!) with 1 oz. of cheese, 1 cup or orange juice and 9 almonds.

Another “quick” solution I usually do [I am a 4 block meal eater, coming down from 5 block meals from my previous self] for a 4 block meal was 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of grapes (I usually use a 2 cup measuring cup, put 1 cup of cottage cheese on bottom, stack the grapes to the top and mix it around after measuring it out), 1 orange and 12 almons [easy fix].

There are a lot of options out there, I can personally promise anyone, if you change your diet, you will change your life. And you will love it.

Marla, You can do it… before KCF, I was eating nasty cereal EVERY morning and washing it down with a vanilla latte. If I can change, anyone can change.
Gang, I just wanted to remind everyone of the Full Circle Farm produce… I just registered and selected Kitsap Crossfit as my pick up location. I’m excited for some yummy fruits and veggies!
