Do you guys like to read?  If so pick this book up Mindless Eating by Brian Wansik.   I have read it a couple of times and I have learned a lot about not only eating but how we can trigger change based on changing our perceptions of things.   In this book he explains things like:

• Does food with a brand name really taste better?
• Do you hate brussels sprouts because your mother did?
• Does the size of your plate determine how hungry you feel?
• How much would you eat if your soup bowl secretly refilled itself?
• What does your favorite comfort food really say about you?
• Why do you overeat so much at healthy restaurants?

Get it...   it is really educational and funny!!

Guys, if you signed up for the dunk test (aka fat test) in the board, please make sure you actually sign up on line as well.

The price for a single Dunk is $40.00 and a 3 Dunk Package $99.00 (To be used by one person within 12 months).   This way you could assess your base line with the first dunk…  make the changes (nutritional, workouts, etc) that you need to make and then retest again and see your progress

They Dunk truck will arrive in San Carlos CrossFit on the following dates:

• June 11, 2013
• August 28, 2013
• December 18, 2013

Schedule and payments are done at the same time when appointments are booked through the vendor’s website at  www.fitnesswavenorcal.com.    Click on the link and then go to Calendar  Look for the June 11, 2013 and find the time that is best for you schedule and pay for the service.

During the test you will TOTALLY submerge yourself in water for a few seconds, so bring a bathing suit and a towel-. For the most accurate test results it is recommended that your last meal be consumed 2 1/2 hours prior to your test.

After the test, you will receive a 4-page printout, which includes your body composition including body fat percentage, lean mass percentage, resting metabolic rate, and caloric expenditure tailored specifically for you.

This is not a CrossFit related post... it is about running.  Some people skip workouts when these have a running component, that is something I will never understand.

Come join us in our regular Tuesday fun run.  we start from the gym at 6:00 pm sharp,  all levels are welcome.   So what are you going to be doing this Tuesday at 6:00 pm?  running I hope.

Welcome to Monday...  and yes today we do lunges again..   Any questions?...  Breanne is back, she is happy to hear any  complains.. 🙂

You could throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face.

Remember, Friday is NOT a rest day!!

Kudos for coming back today after the lunges yesterday.   I enjoyed the lunges and the wall balls yesterday, but I had enough of those for a while.   uff!!

So we are doing weighted pullups again today.   Last time we did these was on the 24th of April, that was your baseline.   This time you should be able to do just as good or better.

It is very important that you keep track of your progress on your logbook.   There are too many of us now for the trainer to remember how much each one of us needs to lift.   Use the logbook to track your workouts.   Remember, we can't improve if we won't measure and track our progress.

I met an incredible person today.  She leads a non-profit organization that does some amazing  work in Africa.  They are empowering young people to become leaders in their community.  Very inspiring...  I am getting involved, you will hear about this from me soon enough.
