 We are grateful for all of you! This summer brought lots of changes and we appreciate all of your who have stuck with us. Gratitude JournalYou might recall that I started using a Commit30 journal as part of my 2023 goal to be more organized. What I love about this journal is that it makes space to commit to a new habit each month (thus the name, Commit30.) Each month since January, I have been sharing a new 30 day check-list or challenge (if you're into that kind of thing) so that you can join me on my healthy habits journey. January we set SMART goals and intentions for the new year. February we committed to 30 days of showing your love and gratitude. March we completed 30 days of spring cleaning. April we reduced, reused and recycled for 30 days. May we got outside everyday. June we developed our mental fitness with 30 days of journal prompts July we drank water everyday August we were awesome September we decluttered October we had 2 challenges: Sober October Challenge and Fall Cleaning. November we are doing a 30 day Gratitude challenge. November is a natural time to be thankful for all of the wonderful aspects of our lives. Use the worksheet below to write down three things you're grateful for each day. If you prefer it as a png click on the image below.   Matt gets strong overhead Myth: Rest is the Same as RecoveryEvery Sunday is a rest day from the gym. We encourage everyone to take it easy, get outside and play, and take a nap. While a rest day is super important to prevent over-training, rest alone is not enough in an effective recovery program. CrossFit is the sport of fitness, meaning it is more than just an exercise program, it is a sport in its own right. Ask any athlete about rest vs. recovery and they'll tell you rest is the absence of of effort, movement or exertion, while recovery is a set of specific actions that aid the body, mind and spirit in recuperating from current training and prepares us for our next training session. We all have heard about the deleterious affects of over-training, e.g. fatigue, weight gain, performance decline, sleep disruption, pain, and a lack of excitement for training. In reality, over-training is really under-recovering. The folks at Whole9 Life describe recovery as, "the restorative process by which you regain a state of 'normalcy'; health and balance. (If your 'normal' is not 'healthy,' perhaps you should spend some time considering that.) Are you actively and deliberately recovering from your CrossFit workouts, competitions, and other physically stressful events? Answer these 10 questions from the Whole9 Life folks to see if you're under-recovered from your CrossFit workouts.

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.
Halloween is next week and it's a terrific time to make something fun for your friends and family. Here is a fabulous collection of delightful treats. If you make one of them please be sure to share a photo! |
