You know how much we LOVE heavy lifting days! These training sessions fire up our metabolism like nothing else. Building muscle is BY FAR the best way to "boost" your metabolism. When you build muscle you also build bone. All that building requires fuel and that's another reason we love heavy lifting days - We Get to Eat More! Today's Recipe is for Turkey Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls. I love a good burrito and I often get in a bowl form, how perfect is this one where it's all cooked inside a squash bowl. BRILLIANT! Enjoy this recipe, complete with Macro breakdown, courtesy of skinnytaste.com. Click on the image for the recipe. REMEMBER, WE WILL NOT HAVE CLASS TOMORROW AT 9AM BECAUSE WE ARE HOSTING THE FESTIVUS GAMES! WE DO NEED VOLUNTEERS!

Sam, Ashley, Meg and the rest of the 9am crew lunge across the gym. I am nearly finished with our Spring Check-ins and I am so excited by what I'm hearing from almost everyone. It seems our gym is filled with happy people who care more about consistency, community and effort rather than perfection, ego and outcomes. I can tell you that hearing our athletes say that they want to focus on consistency before all else makes us Coaches want to do backflips! Consistency always trumps perfection. Consistency is more than just the daily grind. It's realizing that one missed gym day, one non-macro balanced meal, one to many beers, or a crappy night of sleep is not going to derail you and send you down the, "Oh What the Hell" rabbit hole.
Consistency is making a series of small decisions that continue to push the needle in the direction of your goal. Consistency is knowing that you can always make a different choice for your next meal, your next day, your next anything! Consistency creates momentum and momentum creates motivation. Lots of people erroneously believe that motivation must precede success. It's actually the other way around. Success creates motivation. Think about it, when you are starting something new, a small success feels so good that you want to continue. This is true for everything in life. All you need is one small win, then another, then another, string together a bunch of consistent small wins and you're on your way baby! Sure the perfect day is alluring and something for which we all occasionally strive. However, you're much more likely to achieve that perfect day after you've achieved a string of 80% consistent days.

I'm only conducting Spring Check-ins in April and our next Check-in will be in July. Click the blue button below to schedule your Check-in now! I have written many times about how competition reveals our character. In today's Wellness Wednesday video, Laini Gray and I discuss the importance of signing up and completing a competition or event. It's totally common to have doubts on the day of your big event. How do handle those doubts provides valuable insight about how you handle stress and difficult situations.
Everyone can benefit from competition. Competitions put you in a head space that you simply can't achieve while in training or practice. Many of you are competing this weekend in our Festivus Games, or next weekend in the Montana Spartan Race, or the weekend following in our Beer Olympics. We have many opportunities to help you find out exactly who you really are:-) |
