UPDATES:

PALEO CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS:

You guys are rockin’ this challenge in the first couple of weeks!  With roughly 25 participants at this point, you guys have lost a combined total of 120+ pounds!  Keep logging your food and staying on track this week.  I will take a look at your food logs and see if your protein/fat levels are better and hopefully I will see a few less cheat meals!

ATHLETIC SKILLS LEVEL 1:

Many of you are close to completing the Level 1 Skills Testing.  You have 2 more weeks to continue to work on the skills that are holding you from advancing to Level 2!  Get to the gym early, stay late, use your warm-up as a skills test, and get continue to mark them off!  And you just never know what you might win if you work hard at being a “Level 1 Athlete!”

DODGEBALL TOURNEY!!!

When: next Sunday, February 21st from 2:00-6:00pm

For: CASA: Sumner County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a non profit, United Way agency created to recruit volunteers who speak for abused and neglected children in the Juvenile Court process.

I want to try to get a couple teams for this tournament next Sunday afternoon.  Maybe a competitive and “not as competitive” team???  If you are interested in playing, please let me know.  Our very own Joy Gregory helps with this organization and would love your support!  See me in the gym this week for more info!

NUTRITION:

We are going to finish up the WEEK OF DAIRY with this article from Mark’s Daily Apple.  This is called the definitive guide to diary.   Plus, I want you guys to take a look at this article on protein supplements.  If you absolutely cannot get your protein source from an animal at one meal, which one should you use as a backup?  Whey, egg white, pea, casein, or hemp protein powder?

What are your thoughts on dairy/whey supplements?  How do you feel after eating these?  Ever tried to eliminate dairy for a couple weeks to see if you are sensitive to it?  Maybe it would be worth your time…
