Jocelyn shares her renewed obsession with the British reality show 'Secret Eaters,' which exposes the self-delusion some people have about their diet. Although sensationalist, it's a truly fascinating study in human psychology and our impressive capacity for mental gymnastics. Watch episodes here if you dare.
Mastering your CrossFit nutrition starts first in the truth! As Richard P. Feynman said, "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool." In the interest of not living in Delulu land, David and Jocelyn look up the real truth about just how many calories are in some common meal options at Earls.
Then we tackle Tim Hortons. How many calories do you think are in a large Double Double and a boston cream donut? What about a large Vanilla Iced Capp and a Raisin Bran Muffin? Would you consider one of these to be a "healthier choice"?
Fall Session of NextGen Kids
Registration is now open Fall Session I of our CrossFit kids program! Head to crossfitbrio.com/nextgen. We are pleased to be expanding the program to two days a week and are looking at the possibility of a weekend class. Let us know if you would be interested in that!
Congratulations to the committed club for July who made it to the gym for 20 or more workouts in the month! A high five as well to the "Also Showed Up A Lot" Club who logged 16 or more in this nice summer month. You all rock, especially those who earned an extra workout by doing our 5K run :-)
