What's for Dinner? This week we marked the 23rd anniversary of the September 11. Most of us remember where we were when the attack happened. In class Wednesday morning, we all shared our stories and feelings about that tragic day. When terrible things happen, it's natural to self soothe and nurture others. My favorite way to do this is via cooking, and I'm not alone. Comfort food is so called because it wraps us in a warm blanket of love. Many of us turn to comfort foods when all the feels get a bit overwhelming. That's what Regina Schrambling did after the 9/11 attacks. She shared an amazing Dijon and Cognac beef stew with New York Times in the weeks after the attacks. New York Times Cooking is sharing it, for free, this year as their way to help heal our collective souls. This rich, comforting stew was brought to The Times by Regina Schrambling in 2001,

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Today we remember all those who lost their lives and honor them with a partner workout. Let's take a moment to reflect with a poem by Maya Angelou, Human Family. I note the obvious differences There is a solo GORUCK option for today's workout if you wish to mark today in workout solitude.
How to Tailor Your Training
I have written many blogs about the importance of physical activity through the menopause transition. For most women the transition starts in their late 30-early 40s and peaks at that one point in time where we are 365 days out from our last menstrual cycle. During this time and when we're "post menopausal" we need regular physical activity with priority given to lifting heavy shit, High Intensity interval Training (to include air bike sprints:) and plyometric training. You'll notice we regularly do all three of these training activities. However, on days where we're doing a classic metabolic conditioning day, how can you adjust your training to meet your needs? First, talk to your coach, she will give you great advice on tailoring your training day. Also, check out this great post by Dr. Stacy Sims on adjusting training days. You always have the flexibility to adjust any training day to meet you where you are.
Do you have friends, family or a well-meaning "doctor" who thinks menopausal women shouldn't train with intensity? Send this to her. The data and research are clear: we should lift heavy shit, jump, spring, throw, run really fast if we can, and do all kinds of hard intense training as we age.

What's for Dinner?There is one question that every single human on earth asks themself every single day. What's for Dinner? We all must eat. Some of us cook for ourselves and others have their food cooked for them (lucky you!) But, we all must eat.
Cooking is a basic human endeavor. We all must eat, multiple times a day, and feeding yourself and others is a basic skill we all must develop. Without it, we will die or be dependent on someone else. I don't want to be dependent on anyone else for my food! Food is the foundation of my health and I want that squarely under my control. Enjoy this week's recipe courtesy of The Splendid Table. Tomatoes are finally coming on strong in Montana's home gardens and farms. Here is an incredible way to eat them in all their splendid glory. As always, please let me know if you make this recipe. Enjoy! |
