Fantastic job tonight Team! We are so proud of each one of you, your efforts tonight were fantastic! Take note, you chose to push on, into the unknown, through the front doors not knowing what you were going to be doing tonight... It takes courage to do that!!!!! Great job!!!

I'm thinking you all left the gym feeling tired from your fantastic workout, yet excited, accomplished and ready for more! The only place you will go is forward! Press on!

Drink water water water waaaaaater! Eat Breakfast! And choose real food!!

On Tuesday I normally try to stretch my timing a few hours before I actually have breakfast, but thinking of you and this weeks challenge, I took the time to get the breakfast in early! Going back to measuring and weighing puts things back into perspective of how much we eat vs how much we THINK we eat! MyFitnesspal is a great tool, I really encourage you to try it!

My smoothie ingredients today!

Choose your attitude! Today is going to be a great day!

Please tell us, how did you like the workout?!?!

It was AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed working with the barbells. The asisted pull ups were tough. And the 3 reps of planks straight into froggers well that totally kicked my butt. But it was all wonderfull. Even though it was difficult you should all give yourself a pat on the back cause you did it, you got through it and right there is half the battle. If your not used to exercise it will get easier but do yourself a favor no matter how hard it gets dont give up on yourself!! Push through it. You may not see results overnight it takes work and dedication but it will be worth it. Dont get discouraged, you will get there i promise. Dont look back keep moving forward. Remember you are not alone. We are all in this together. You all need to be proud of yourselves for taking the first step and showing up. Tell yourself you deserve this, you are worth it!!

I wanted to share this article I found:

"Experts make an argument for why we should stop counting calories

You’ve heard it before: To lose weight, simply eat less and exercise more. In theory, that makes sense. Actually, it’s not just in theory—science has proven that burning more calories than you consume will result in weight loss. But the trouble is that this only has short-term results. For long-term weight loss, it simply doesn’t work, say renowned obesity experts in a recent JAMA commentary.
Ultimately their argument is this: stop counting calories. “We intuitively know that eat less exercise more doesn’t work. It’s such simple advice that if it worked, my colleagues and I would be out of job,” says Dr. David Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children’s Hospital. “The uncomfortable fact is that an exceedingly small number of people can lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off following that advice.”

Blaming excess weight on people simply not changing their eating habits goes back thousands of years. Sloth and gluttony are two of the seven deadly sins, after all. But Ludwig and Dr. Mark L. Friedman of the Nutrition Science Initiative in San Diego, argue that this mindset disregards decades of research on the biological factors that control body weight. And they are not just talking about the role genetics play. They say we should stop viewing weight as something separate from other biological functions—like hormones and hunger and the effects of what foods we eat, not just how much of them.

What, then, is causing the obesity epidemic? The authors say it’s refined carbohydrates. Sugar and processed grains like white bread which have become ubiquitous in our diets, and one of the reasons refined carbs is the prime culprit is that we’ve spent far too long chastising fat. “We have to forget the low-fat paradigm,” says Dr. Ludwig. “Some high fat foods like avocado, nuts and olive oil are among the healthiest foods we could possibly eat.”

Refined carbohydrates spike insulin levels. Insulin, as Ludwig describes, is the granddaddy of anabolic hormones. Basically, when you eat a lot of refined carbs, like say, a 100-calorie pack of Oreos, it causes a surge of insulin that will trigger your fat cells to soak up calories—but there are not enough calories and nutrients to provide the energy that our bodies need. The brain recognizes this discrepancy and triggers a hunger response that also slows our metabolism. We are then going to want to eat more.

Instead of counting calories, we should be focusing on the quality of the food we consume, says Ludwig. “If you just try to eat less and exercise more, most people will lose that battle. Metabolism wins,” says Ludwig. “Simply looking at calories is misguided at best and potentially harmful because it disregards how those calories are affecting our hormones and metabolism—and ultimately our ability to stick to a diet.”

Thanks Jason! Such a great point! This is why I am asking that we choose real food as opposed to boxed, bagged, refined easily available "junk". Take the time to prepare real food!
