Here we are at week 3 of the gym being open, and that also means most of you are halfway through your 6 week challenge. I hope everyone is finding it a little easier to eat correctly and make it to the gym! Don't forget meal prepping for the week makes breakfast and lunches a lot easier to grab and go! If you have any great recipes you'd like to share feel free to leave them in the comments below! One of my breakfast favorites, (which I actually got from Lindsey Brown) are egg white muffins.
Start with about 2 cups of egg whites and add lots of veggies. I usually chop one large green pepper, some onion, and tomatoes and mix them together. (Turkey sausage is also good) Scoop it into a greased cupcake pan and bake at 350 for 25 mins. Store them in the fridge in an air tight container, they last about a week. These are easy to grab on the go in the morning and throw in the microwave.
Also just eating the right foods isn't enough. You have to remember to eat around 6 times a day.......I know this sounds impossible with your busy schedule, but again with a little prepping you can make it easy. Pack a little bag with some nuts for a snack, grab a protein shake, some turkey jerky, or some veggies.
Everyone is making great progress in the WODs keep it up! Don't forget some movements are new and feel awkward and that's OK. What's not OK is when you are feeling pain while doing them. Don't be afraid to let me know right away so I can either correct your form, or modify the movement to better suit you. I don't want to see anyone getting hurt, that will only set your progress back. Modifying is a great option and you are still getting a great workout in!

"The biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lunges, the burning in your legs, and the voice inside that yells 'I CAN'T!' But you do not listen. You just push harder. Then that voice fade away and start to whisper 'I can!' That's the moment you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are."
