Today's Foodie Friday comes to us from Sprouts Dinner Club. These chorizo empanada's were voted most delicious dish at our last class. 
The next Sprouts Dinner Club is Sunday Oct 16th. There are only a few spaces remaining. Be sure to RSVP today! 
MAKE CHORIZO:
  • 2# ground pork
  • 1 t black pepper
  • 1 t cumin
  •  ½ t clove
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ c paprika of choice
  • 1 T c dried oregano
  •  1T meat spice (you can buy this from me.  If you don't have it, replace with 1T kosher salt and 1T salty tears of the ill-prepared)
  • ¼ c scant cider vinegar mixed with ¼ c scant ice cold water
Mix all the spices into the vinegar / water mixture.  Massage into the meat until thoroughly distributed.
MAKE FILLING:
  • 1 onion, yellow or white, small dice
  • 2-3 green pepper, small dice--you want equal parts onion and pepper
  • 1 whole bulb garlic, minced (yep, a bulb, not a clove.  This recipe isn't for the faint)
Saute onion and pepper in coconut oil until it wilts and starts to color.  Add chorizo and cook thoroughly, stirring and chopping with spatula to keep in small chunks.  Add garlic and stir another minute until garlic smells amazing and meat is done.  Set aside to cool.
MAKE EMPANADA BATTER:
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk
  • 1.5 c almond flour
  • 1.5 c tapioca flour
Mix to make batter.  Cook ¼ c in non stick pan over medium until firm enough to move.  Slide onto pan lined with parchment and dusted with almond flour.  Spoon cooked meat mix into middle and pinch closed, using the parchment to help fold closed. Brush w/ egg wash, sprinkle with chopped almonds, and transfer to a baking sheet dusted with almond flour.  Repeat until you are out of batter.  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until crispy.

Today's Workout 

Buy -in: 5 x 3 weighted pull-up or 5 x 30s flexed arm hang
then,
As many rounds and reps as possible in 5 Min of:

3 Deadlifts 275/205#
7 Push Press 115/75#

Fast and furious is the theme of the day. You'll set up two barbells and storm through as fast as possible.  These should be some of the heaviest deadlifts you have attempted in a workout. Scale the weight to 80-85% of your 1RM. 

Scale the push press weight using the same percentage only if you can do 7 unbroken reps. This workout is short, there is no time to put the bar down. This workout develops strength, power, speed, works our two anaerobic pathways and tests our grit. Since the workout is short, you'll take no breaks. Get after it!

9/28 Mental Toughness Thursday

9/28/2016

Zack's 47inch box jump was achieved through lots of 30 inch and higher box jumps. Once he put in the work, then he dared to hope he could make the big jump. 

Hope, as defined by Wikipedia, is an optimistic attitude of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large.

I have a saying, "Hope is not a plan." Hope is what we get to feel after we've put some effort and action towards our desired outcome. Hope is what we get to feel after we've made the sacrifices, the difficult choices, after we've done the hard work. 

Hope is important because it's an optimistic attitude, and our attitude can have profound impact on our desired outcome. Our optimistic attitude is created by a series of actions we've taken to put us on the path toward our desired outcome. We should be optimistic after we've made the sacrifices, the difficult choices, after we've done the hard work.

We should have hope that what we want is achievable. 

We should be optimistic and hopeful because we are confident that the sacrifices, difficult choices, and our hard work have set us on the right path. Hope is the wind the pushes us along the path to our desired outcome. 

Here's to tailwinds!

9/26 Whole Life Wednesday and Happy Birthday Karl!

The 6:30pm class looking strong on the ergs. Coach James, Anna, Megan and Dr. Phil are maintaining good posture. Coach James and Anna are doing the Whole Life Challenge. Are you?
This week's Whole Life Challenge weekly lifestyle challenge is to spend 10 minutes every day decluttering a space. The WLC folks think this is an important lifestyle practice because: 


"There are lots of small things we let stand in the way of making the big moves in life. It helps a lot to have clarity around you when you’re making important choices.

Cluttered physical, virtual, and even mental spaces provide unnecessary obstacles to doing what matters to you. Feeling like you’re surrounded by a mess or chaos can keep you in “putting out fires” mode — the feeling that the little things right in front of you are stopping you from starting the important things.

When your spaces are clear, new paths can open up. Waking up or living in an uncluttered reality can provide a sense of calm and leave room for creativity and productive action to flow."


Today's Workout 
Row 5K (5000m)


Today's workout is all about endurance and perseverance. We program two 5k rows and two 5k runs every year. Five thousand meters is a benchmark for running and rowing. It's a distance that doesn't require additional special training outside of our regular CrossFit classes. It's a great test of our aerobic capacity. Compare to Dec 30, 2015

It is not uncommon for a 5K row to be significant faster than a 5K run. How much do your times differ?
