Day Two

The holidays are over and it is time to get back into the swing of things.  How you holding up? I know the first few days may be difficult.  Keep your head up and remember the WHY.  

Take a quick moment and jot down why you choose to take part in this challenge.  Is it your natural competitive nature? Weight gained over the holiday? Perhaps you are gearing up for the CrossFit Open that is just around the corner? Seriously stop and actually write this down right now.  It would be a great idea to share this your Fuel Challenge partner :)  Remembering the reason you choose to take part in this is going to keep you focused on the big picture.  

Now take that reason and turn it into an action.  Lets do this on a few different levels.  

• First create your "big picture" of what you want out of your diet? 
• Examples:
• athletic performance
• consistent energy
• overall feeling "good" 
• Next, lets break these down into smaller targets that will help you reach your big picture goal 
• Examples:
• 4 points for 100% adherence
• extra points for fish oil
• sleep  
• Finally, lets create action steps that will make these targets a reality 
• Examples:
• Sunday meal prep
• Meal exchange with Fuel Challenge partner
• Place fish oil out where you see it daily, 
• Plan ahead to get 8 hours of sleep  

One extra point for those of you who actually write the answers to these questions down and email them to your partner and I (dana@cfnorcal.com).  You have until Friday to complete it and can apply the points to whatever day you submit the email.

Keep up the great work!
