CrossFit is a way of life... read the article published on the CrossFit Journal about what it is to live the CrossFit life. The author says that "While CrossFit is neither a cure-all for emotional struggles nor a panacea for relationship issues, it seems abundantly clear to those of us who live it that this thing we do has significant positive implications for other aspects of our lives. We may not always be better wives, husbands, children or parents, and we may not be better at every aspect of our jobs, but then again, we just might".
It is a very interesting article, read it here .

Some have asked, “Why are the workouts named after Girls?” Coach Glassman, the founder of CrossFit explained it best. “I want to explain the workout once and then give it a name. I thought that anything that left you flat on your back, looking up at the sky asking ‘what just happened to me?’ deserved a females name. Workouts are just like storms, they wreak havoc on towns.
This week several of the "girls" are coming to SCCF... Nancy, Angie and Christine will be at the gym this week. Make sure you record your times and loads. Check your progress when the girls come back in a few weeks.
Have a great week everyone!!

A few months ago, I picked up a book (Mindless eating by Brian Wansick). Just the introduction was eye opening. Here is the first paragraph "All of us- eat.... and we eat based on what is around us. Most of us overeat not because of hunger but because of family and friends, packages and plates, names and numbers, labels and lights, colors and candles, shapes and smells, distractions and distances, cupboards and containers. The list is almost at endless as it it is invisible".
It was an eye opener, like everything else we do, eating and snacking is determined by our environment and we usually don't pay attention much why make the choices we make at the dinner table.
One thing that did grab my attention and I have been practicing is the use of smaller plates to reduce my portion size. One small portion looks bigger in a smaller plate. You eat with your eyes and sometimes they will confuse you. To prove the point, check out the cartoon below...
