Soccer socks or Superman socks? Either way, Reese always wins.

Paleo Participants! And the rest of you, too!! Do NOT be nutritionally derailed this weekend. DO NOT. Stay strong and use some of those weekend hours to cook up some protein for the coming week. This will save you time when you're whizzing all over town for work, school, kids, errands, or good times. Slice some chicken breasts into strips, douse them with a tablespoon or so of olive oil, some salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, or some combination thereof, then throw it on the George Foreman or in the blazing hot (and coconut or olive-oiled up) frying pan. Now you've got a Tupperware full of protein and fat that you can throw on top of frozen veggies and nuke with some more olive oil, salt and pepper (or garlic salt - YUM!). Or you can throw that protein on top of some baby spinach leaves with some grape tomatoes, nuts, onions, avocado, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

When you're on the go, you can bring a cooler with you and keep it in the car. Nuts, seeds, and fruit (ahem, Lara Bars) are NOT going to give you the sustained energy levels you need to go all day for all 30 days. Protein and good fats are the fuels that will keep you going and keep your tummy rumbles sedated. You will find that you need to eat MORE to make up for all those filler (and rather nutrient-deficient) grains that used to make up your midday meal (ahem, bread, pasta, or pizza crust).

As always around these parts, it's Choose Your Own WOD-venture Saturday! Think about what you need to work on, and attack those weaknesses! Come in early or stay late after a class and work on skills and drills. Or come into open gym from 10 to noon and work on that kip, air squat, or mobility before diving into a WOD posted on the board, or one of your own choosing. We've got a Partner WOD today, too, so bring a friend!
