WOD:
TIME TO SWIM!!!


If you are really serious about diet and you just haven't got it completely under control yet...Today is the day to start a food journal. I know it seems like a crazy task and it's time consuming, but it is well worth it. There is something that can be great about accountability with friends in the gym. Creating a journal means being completely honest about our food and how it makes us feel. Don't just write down the food your eating, write down how it makes you feel during the day, during the workout, or whatever. If you have a great day while doing a WOD and it just felt awesome... write it down! If you were dragging and just didn't feel good, write it down. Then as a little time passes we can start to look back at these journals and figure out what works for each of us, because we are all different and all unique in what will work specifically for us. Now....here is the biggest part of it all. DONT SKIP ANYTHING....it's understandable, we all know we all eat things we shouldn't. This is where accountability becomes our friend to help fight off those cravings or indulgences or even just being a little lazy and ordering out when you could cook in. How will we be accountable? At any point, anyone in the gym can and should ask to read your journal and you should let them. We are a big family and we want the best for each other regardless of the reason.  Do not hide anything! Who is in?

A few food tips for parents when it comes to try and get your kiddos to eat healthier with you:

1. Parents, YOU are in charge of food education-if you don't teach your kids no one will
2. Avoid emotional eating
3. Parents schedule meals and menus-kids eat when adults eat-(no short order cooking)
4. Eat family meals together with no distractions
5. Eat your veggies (parents too)
6. You don't have to like it...but you do have to taste it (good to repeat at every meal)
7. No extra snacking (it's ok to feel hungry between meals)
8. Slow food is happy food-(eat slow)
9. Eat mostly REAL food
10.. Enjoy eating and RELAX
