Announcement from your Tasty Tuesday Girls

You may have heard some buzz around the gym about an upcoming nutrition/fitness Challenge. Well, we've finally got the details down and we're ready to GO PUBLIC with it!

A challenge huh? This is what OUR challenge is going to be. For the most part, it's a period of time where we all collectively motivate each other (even more than normal) to get even healthier and more fit. Plus, there are prizes to win at the end for all you competitive folk (Margaret and Sheena included)!

We are calling this particular challenge the Summer Bodies Challenge (or more colloquially, the LOOK GOOD NAKED CHALLENGE). Although its focus will be on eating healthier, we really want to stress that this challenge incorporates more than just that. We want you coming into the gym and pushing yourselves harder, playing more, getting more active and of course, taking time off to rest up and recover from all the hard work we'll be doing.

Here's what we'll expect for the challenge in a nutshell.

Prior to the start of the challenge, you will:

• Pay $30; this gets you a special edition FCF t-shirt and eligibility to win prizes throughout the challenge.
• Take a 'before' picture; it will only be seen by you and our judges.
  
• Benchmark workouts; Andrew will be requiring us to complete some benchmark workouts before and after the challenge to gauge improvement.

During the challenge:

• You will need to use the members website to log your daily food intake, activity and rest ("active rest" days and/or hours of sleep)
• EAT REAL FOOD!
• Motivate each other to eat better, go farther, push harder, laugh, smile, etc..

At the end of the challenge:

• Take an 'after' picture and compare it to the 'before' - see and FEEL the difference.
  
• Repeat the benchmark workouts (and blow them to smithereens)!
• Feel awesome that you made it.
• Have a rad new body just in time for the summer soltice on June 21st.

We are going to kick off the Challenge on May 1st at 11am with a mandatory party/potluck/informational meeting/workout/rad time. MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDAR! Feel free to post questions or comments, find Margaret or myself at the gym and/or show up to the "mandatory party". If you are unable to attend our get together on the 1st, we'll have all of the informational available online and printed copies of the requirements at the gym. Email myself or Margaret @ sheena@foundationcrossfit.com and margaret.kloster@gmail.com for additional info.

Get EXCITED! Start to think of your fitness, health, nutrition, what-you-want-to-look-like goals. Talk to others about it. This is going to be a great journey for everyone who would like to participate - and you won't be alone, we're excited to be right there with you!
