8/24 Whole Life Wednesday

Meg and Nicole, Team Snowgull, do coordinated front squats for the Kittens and Cougars Throwdown. We've had so much fun doing this competition. Who's joining us next year?
​
It's Whole Life Wednesday. How did last week's no booze challenge go for you? Let us know in the comments if you made it 7 days without a drink. Couldn't do it? Perhaps rethinking your attitude about drinking is in order. 

​This week's challenge is to sign up for the Fall Whole Life Challenge. The Fall WLC starts September 17th, that's only 3 and a half weeks away! It will be upon us before we know it. Sign up before August 31 and take advantage of the $39.00 early registration discount. If you're a returning WLC player, your early registration discount is $29.00. 

Remember, the winner gets $165 in cold hard cash. That's more than a quadrupling on your investment if you're a first time player and more than a 5 times return on your investment if you're a repeat player. 

Everyone who signs up before Aug 31 (in one week) will be eligible to win a True Spirit CrossFit & Yoga trucker hat. We will select the winner by raffle on Thursday Sept 1. Sign up TODAY! 

You'll want to do a little bit of prep work after you sign up. Here's what the WLC folks suggest:

Here are three things you’re going to want to do to prepare for the Challenge:

1. Download the Quick Start Player Guide
   
   It’s a five-minute read with a super-quick overview of the rules, the bonus tokens, and some other details you’re going to want to know — scoring windows and that sort of thing. If you haven’t played in a bit (or this is your first Challenge), be sure to give it a look.
   
   
2. Download the NEW Nutrition Level Comparison Guide
   
   This document will show you the differences between the levels, including some new changes (sorry, bacon). Read it over, and you’ll be better equipped to make a wise choice about your nutrition level come Challenge time. 
   
   Remember: you can change your nutrition level any time up until the end of the first week of the Challenge.
   
   
3. Once you’ve picked your Nutrition Level, download your List. This will give you an in-depth look at each level (and it’s SUPER handy for grocery shopping).
