Elk Grove Adventure Boot Camp

Well that was embarrassing

What a bummer this morning. Thank you all for dealing so well with the changes and mishaps over the past month. Sometimes we have control and other times we don't. The past few weeks have been a real lesson for Rosie and I in dealing with those times of limited control. We're working towards something better, thanks for your patience. 

But, we're all set for classes tomorrow. I have a new key that works and a key (finally) to the front gate just in case something goes wrong with the back gate again. See you all bright and early!

Locked gate

The lock on the gate to the warehouse complex has been changed and I wasn't given the new key. I apologize for the inconvenience, all classes are canceled this morning.

Saturday Classes?

I've had questions about bringing back Saturday morning classes. Who is interested and who is not? If we have enough interest I'm sure we can figure out a way to bring back a few Saturday classes.

Back on track

Who has completely gotten themselves back on track? Who never fell off? Who is 100-80% paleo? If not what are you doing and why? I think we should do another self paleo challenge, starting mid-late January. To those who haven't tried it, don't knock it till you have. To those who think its some sort of fad diet, it's not. To those who live the paleo lifestyle how far did you stray from your lifestyle if at all? I'd love to hear all of your thoughts and plans for your nutrition as we close in on the Shamrockin' Half Marathon. If you think it's all going to boil down to your workouts, you are sadly mistaken my friend. Your food intake and nutritional habits will play a HUGE roll in your performance leading up to and on the day of the run. In fact it plays a huge role in how we live or lives. I know we have a few skeptics out there and that's fine if what you are doing is working. If not, don't knock it till you try it!

Another Holiday Weekend?

OK, one last holiday weekend for a while! Everyone who came in this morning said we should take next Monday off because they wouldn't be here. So guess what? No class on Monday!

Stay safe, don't over indulge, and on the first day of the new year be healthful and eat real food. Practice what you plan to do for the new year or even longer!

 

Right after writing this post I got an email from Zen Habits, I thought you might enjoy it. http://zenhabits.net/fitguide/

Happy Holidays

I hope you all enjoy this up coming holiday weekend. I know we will, up in the Rocky Mountains. It has been about two years since I've been out to see this side of our family. What a great group of people and great people to spend a holiday weekend with. Do yourself a favor and safely indulge in a treat or two. I know I will be enjoying as much food as my body will allow. I will however be choosing food that won't make me feel like crap. I suggest you do the same for your own good.

Brie will be covering classes on Thursday and Friday, don't give her too hard of a time.  And make sure you all are warm before you get into the workout. And you 6:45 folks don't show up late!!! Sleep in on Monday - no classes!

It's a little cold

'What IS this place?' said Brea S. this morning.... Yes, it's a little Frankenstein's lab-ish but it'll do for now. It's a little cold, it's a little dark but it's still a good workout. The new building is a work in progress. The wrestlers have big plans for that building so hang in there! This definitely isn't our first choice but sometimes we just have to roll with the punches and tough it out, it will get better. So thanks for bearing with us, you all are awesome. We still have what makes our groups what they are - all of you and some fantastic workouts.

As we're heading into another holiday weekend, try to keep your goals in mind. Most importantly, RELAX and ENJOY your time off with your family and friends! If you miss a workout don't stress you could probably use a day off. We don't want any slipping down slippery slopes but allow yourself to enjoy the holiday season and keep it real.

Last day on the turf!

Today will be our last day on the soccer field. We will be moving to a building behind the building we are in now. It's the one with the curved roof, you'll see our vehicle parked in front, it will be the only one with lights on inside at that hour. I'll miss the soccer field but look on the bright side, we won't be bringing home any more of those little rubber pieces!
