The first three weeks of the Healthy Living Challenge are almost over! Really, the 21 day sugar detox is ALMOST OVER! On Tuesday, we will stop tracking our diet in that we will no longer lose points for diet infractions. BUT you can gain points if you continue with your clean lifestyle.  There will be a short survey on the front desk tomorrow. Please list 3 foods that were a No-No for you and might have been the hardest thing to give up. Please fill this out by Monday. Measurements can be done between now and Tuesday.  We will re-test the baseline workout on Tuesday.  All points for the first three weeks will be tallied on Tuesday morning, so please fill out the google spreadsheet.

Get ready for some updates! Starting Monday, September 24th, we are trying out a 3:30pm class. If you have teachers, parents, or anyone who is off at that time, let them know an early class will be available. If you are looking for a boost to your gut health, sauerkrauts make a great addition to every meals. You don’t need to eat a ton, and it doesn’t have to be the sad wilted cabbage you might be thinking about. We are waiting on on to ferment that has beets, cabbage, carrots and ginger. Bambi Porter has offered to put together some jars for $10 a quart. Great flavor combination would be a Chipotle Kraut. The veggies that would be included: Cabbage, carrots , green onions and of course the chipotle peppers. Perfect for Taco Tuesdays!

***No ROMWOD on Tuesday*** ***No Open Gym on Tuesday*** Ok – our next entry in the bracket The Natural knocks the lights out of Rollerball.  Sorry, James Caan. The Hansen brothers of Slapshot foil up and beat the hell out of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s BASEketball. Field of Dreams sends Gleaming the Cube to the corn.  I have many thoughts on Field of Dreams – many of you own or work in agriculture.  If you wanted to build a baseball field on your property, would anyone notice or care?  Would you become the laughing stock of Oakdale? Pele kicks out of Ricky Bobby’s shake and bake – Escape to Victory moves on. The most underrated star of all time, Jackie Earl Haley, and the Bad News Bears push Whip It aside. RIP Burt.  The Longest Yard edges the Blindside.  Not going to lie, I hate the Blindside.  Loved the...
