Fueling Your Work

We are starting to get the hang of many of the lifts we are doing in class and will continue to put them to work, both as strength moves and in our interval training/metcon days.  What we have not looked at yet is how you fuel your body to perform the hard work you are doing in class and more importantly your overall health.  Your body is like a machine, think of it as a race car.  If you put cheap fuel in a race car it will still go but will not perform up to it's capabilities.  However, if you load that car up with high octane fuel, it will perform.  Your body is the same way.  You can live off of pop tarts and hot pockets, but they will not allow your body to perform up to it's full potential.

Over the course of the semester we are going to define what "high octane" foods are and try to help you shift your current eating habits to help support what you are doing in the weight room and ultimately make you more healthy.

For this weeks blog I want you to be honest and write out for me what you eat in a normal day.  You can just write down what you had yesterday or if yesterday was not a normal day let me know what you normally eat.  I want to know what and how much of everything you eat in a day.  Break it down into breakfast, lunch, dinner and any snacks.  If you normally skip a meal let me know that as well.
