Seared tuna looks good

The 30-Day Journaling Challenge ends this week! We always reward achievements, so for those who have kept up, we've got something special in store for you! (And, of course, they're awesome.)

For those who haven't YOU HAVE 4 DAYS TO CATCH UP!

Another awesome recipe from our Journaling Challenge blog.  This is a recipe from Lillian.  Looks amazing!

RECIPE: SEARED AHI TUNA ON ARUGULA
[Lemon & olive oil dressing might be too lemony, but the tuna is fairly plain so flavors don't seem to compete. You could substitute mixed greens for the arugula, paprika for the cajun powder, play with it.]


Ingredients:
Two bunches of arugula, cut in 2”-3” pieces
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
lots of cracked black pepper
½ pound yellowfin (ahi) tuna steak
Cajun spice to dust (I used paprika, salt, and pepper)
Coconut oil

Directions:
  1. Cut, wash, and dry the arugula.
  2. Place arugula in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, cracked pepper, and mix well. Set aside.
  3. Rinse and pat-dry ahi tuna steak. Remove and discard the skin.
  4. Cut into “logs”, dust Cajun spice (or substitute).
  5. Heat the frying pan with coconut oil until very hot.
  6. Sear the tuna for about 10 seconds on each side. Place on cutting board and cut into thin slices.
  7. Arrange tuna on top of the arugula.

WOD

7 rounds for time:
5 burpees
10 toes-thru-rings ("t2r")
15 medicine ball cleans, 20/14#

Inspired by this workout. Remember that the hips open twice per on mbc.

I made a panorama of the gym with this app on my iPhone.

A hint of tomorrow's workout!

With the way the gym is set up, what do you think the WOD is? We can assure you it's going to be epic...
Make sure you RSVP or else you might get left out!

The hint was too easy! I hope we are wrong. Not because I don't like FGB, but I like the element of surprise.

RSVP and don't be late, Tyler. This is going to be an awesome workout, and us trainers have to be on task to get everyone through the workout. We won't be able to work you in if you don't rsvp or get there on time.

By the way, the morning crew kicked ass today! Great job guys!

What happened to the bars for SDHPs?

I really liked this WOD. (FGB, too, but I mean specifically the Tuesday WOD.) I haven't ever been able to maintain a rhythm with cleans before, and working with the ball really helped me get a feel for the natural movement. That is, rather than freaking out and over-thinking about each motion ('omg what are my hips doing? crap, may mid-line! wait, slinky arms...) I focused on key elements---like preventing the ball from rotating, and everything else fell in line. Neato.

So Sarah- would you want to see more medicine ball cleans pop up in the WODs?
