10/18 Foodie Friday

The noon class sporting blue & gold for last week's Open MSU Homecoming theme. Today's theme is Super Heroes and Heroines. 
Are you ready for another CrossFit Open Workout? Did you see Dave Castro's hint? Does it all make sense now?
The Open is such a fun and exciting time to be a CrossFitter. You'll remember these workouts for a long time and we will revisit them in August because, hey! We're Open in August:-) 
The Open is a competition, which means we have a bit more adrenaline, cortisol and a few other hormones coursing through our bodies pre-, during, and post-workout. We find an intensity we didn't know we had and we push ourselves harder than ever. That's why recovery is so important. 
Meal prep is an important habit to develop to aid in recovery and fueling our workouts. The 5 weeks during the Open is an outstanding time to develop it. One of my favorite nutrition resources, Working Against Gravity, just released an excellent blog on how to develop a meal prep habit in 4 easy steps. If your meals don't look like the image below, it's time to put some effort into feeding yourself. Click on the image for the meal prep guide and a recipe. Enjoy and good luck with 20.2!
