Veterans Day has been observed since 1954 by the U.S. and its origins date back to Armistice Day 1918, which marked the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front in WWI. Veterans Day preserves the historical significance of the 11/11/1918, but also focuses attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A day to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. 

This Veterans Day, weekend, we will be doing two WOD’s that remind of this significance. On Friday, we will have a 11/11/1918 theme in remembrance of Armistice Day.  On Saturday, along with many other CrossFit’s, we will be doing the Hero WOD Chad 1000x, named after Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson. Throughout the entirety of his career, Chad served honorably, deploying 11 times to combat zones around the world. He was approaching his 21st year of active duty when he died by suicide on October 29, 2018, due to the effects of blast wave injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

Chad had strong ties to the CrossFit community, and his taking of his life came as a surprise to everyone.  Chad’s silent fight, wasn’t unlike many of our veterans, where even on our home soil, many continue to fight, but they are not fighting a foreign enemy, they are fighting their own mental health.  By doing Chad 1000x,  we can raise awareness of veteran suicide and highlight the fact that mental health is as important as physical health and people should never feel alone.

This Hero WOD can be done solo or as a partner and scaled in any way needed.

Introducing - ‘Friday Fri-Yay’ 
One Friday of every month, we will be hosting a Friday night social event. It will start at 645pm and run until 9/930pm. Each ’Friday Fri-yay’ will have a theme: movie night, card night, game night, etc.  It’s a chance to get out of the house and have some fun and get to know the rest of the CFSD community a little better.
Kick off of our first event will THIS FRIDAY 10/13 at 6:45pm
This 1st Friday Fri-Yay will be a Movie Night - and being October and Friday the 13th, we decided to go with a slightly scary, but fun movie that we think everyone will like – ‘Scream’
Members are permitted to bring family and friends.  We will not be supplying food/bevs, as this is meant to be a night out without being centered around food/alcohol (though this Friday we will have popcorn for everyone).  You are welcome to bring a beach chair and snacks/beverages for yourself or to share with others...
There is no need to pre-register - just come have some fun. We hope to see you all there this Friday!
Jeff and Kathy
PS....the gym will not be open for workouts during Friday Fri-Yay

An Update from Coach Jeff on His Legends Competition....

Hey everyone – I am 2 days into my competition with 2 days to go, so I wanted to give all of you an update on how things are going so far.

Before I do that, I wanted to thank all for your supporting me in this endeavor.  Though I have competed at some local competitions before, I have never really tried to compete at the higher-level events, so this is a new experience for me.  The venue is enormous and beautiful, and the people and the energy here is amazing. I didn’t really come in with high expectations as far as how well I would place in the event, as I am surrounded by many of the top athletes in the world.  I really wanted to just have fun and do the best I could.  

Day 1 (Thursday) – I was pretty nervous coming into it, but I imagine everyone was – and once the clock starts on the workout – the nerves immediately go away.  There were two events in Day 1. And out of the 24 athletes I was competing with, I placed 14th on both events.  The first workout was a sprint of db thrusters, db step-ups and a heavy-tank push (which is like a sled). I thought I moved pretty well on this one, though I made a few mistakes with the sled and my transitions between movements that cost me some time and a face places in the standings. My legs were super wobbly after this event and I could barely walk.  The 2^nd event was 7minutes each for max meters on the Rower, Bike erg and Ski Erg. This one was pretty tough.  I felt I paced myself well on this workout, but probably a bit too much and could have pushed the edge a little harder and placed a few spots higher.  Overall, I was pretty happy with how my 1^st day went.

Day 2 (Friday) – Was able to get some good food after my events yesterday and got some good sleep last night, so woke up feeling pretty good today, though my legs are sorer than I expected.  Still feeling a little nervous, but that really doesn’t ever go away.  My first event today had fast high-volume workout of TTB, S2OH and DU’s.  This one didn’t go as well as I would have liked as I struggled with the TTB and DU’s and I took a 20^th place.  The 2^nd workout was quick combo of sprints on a Air Runner which is a self-powered treadmill and DB SADS. I had never used this specific treadmill before. It’s different from a regular one, but I thought I figured it out pretty well and moved ther DB pretty well. They haven’t finished posting the results here, but I think I was middle of the pack. 

Day 3 (Saturday) - Tomorrow they will start to live stream the events. They were setting up huge lighting systems and camera stations when we were leaving earlier, and the announcers are the same ones that you see during the CrossFit Games. It should be pretty cool. Official heat times aren't posted yet, but I think my first event will be around 8:45/9am and my 2^nd around 10:45/11am.  You can watch by clicking this link.

So, 2 more days to go. I spent a lot of today recovering, so I hope to feel good tomorrow, as the events tomorrow are hard ones. Again, thanks to everyone for the support!  I want to make CFSD proud…

Saturday November 26,  2022

A Note From Coach Jeff:

It’s often a family tradition on Thanksgiving to share what we are thankful for. This Thanksgiving, I wanted to share my thoughts with you all, my CFSD family.

This weekend is CFSD’s 7^th Anniversary.  Our 1^st class ever was on Black Friday of 2015 (11/27/2015).  When Kat and I started this adventure, we never dreamed it would have such a huge impact on our lives. We knew we wanted to use our passion for fitness to help others change their lives, but CFSD has turned into so much more.  

Each day I arrive in the gym I’m surrounded by the most caring and thoughtful group of individuals, working together, and motivating each other to do their best. I am thankful to have been able witness so many people not only improve physically but become mentally stronger on their CrossFit journey. As a coach, it brings joy to see people in one moment looking like they are struggling to get through a workout, but then smiling and fist bumping everyone after and feeling accomplished.  This lets me know you are being challenged and enjoying the challenge, and that you’ll be back tomorrow to do it all over again.  When we see this, I am quickly reminded why we started CrossFit.  

I am truly thankful for the many relationships and friendships that I have developed over the past 7 years. I’m thankful that you permit us to enter your lives at some of your most vulnerable of moments. When you are drenched in sweat and your minds are muddled with thoughts of defeat, you allow us to encourage you to be the best you can be in that moment in time.  We ask you do things that you never thought possible and then in return you show others what they too are capable of.  As our community has grown, our bond becomes have grown stronger as well, and for this I am eternally thankful.

I am thankful for all of you, as you keep me motivated on a daily basis. CFSD has provided me solace from my feelings of insecurity, vulnerability, and lack of self-confidence.  I see the effort you all put in and it makes me want to keep working harder, as I never want to let you down. You drive me to be a better person–in every sense of the word.

I am grateful for our amazing Coaching staff for the endless energy they bring and the coaching perspective that they have given me.  They have treated CFSD as if it were their own and we wouldn’t be able to have made it through these past 7 years without them.

I am extremely grateful to have such an open-minded, selfless, patient, and passionate wife and partner to be involved with in this undertaking. I could not ask for a better one. To me, she is the heartbeat of CFSD, and nothing could have us helped us grow more as a couple and a family. 

Magic happens at CFSD.  In the past 7 years there have been an endless number of life changing moments and experiences.  I cherish all of them and look forward to all the moments that we be experiencing together in the future.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart...

Coach Jeff

Nutrition November Tip - Day 23 - While Coach Jeff and I never believe in the ‘earning your calories’ model for a variety of reasons, we have used cardio-centric parts of workouts to demonstrate how hard it is to ‘burn’ calories. All too often the mindset of many members has been “well, I worked out hard or 5 days this week - I deserve that {________}.” Sadly those are the people that never lose weight, never get stronger and fall into metabolic derangement and poor health. Let’s be clear: YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE THE FORK.

In the early years of CFSD, at Halloween each year - Coach would have a bowl of MINI or FUN SIZE size candies and would ask members to pick one. (Mine? I am not a candy person but Mounds is THE candy that I eat.) Everyone would be gleeful and indulge happily and willingly. He would then ask everyone to read the nutrition information and call out the calories for their choice. Still - no one expected what was to come. Each person had to row the calories of their candy; while he never gave a time cap - he expected everyone to row with intensity to match the calories of the candy they ate.

Again, we do not buy into the ‘earn and burn’ calorie model for too many reasons in a social media post but today’s Thanksgiving Day workout had a cardio component for Part 3 of the workout. YOU and a PARTNER and to bike or ski AS MANY CALORIES in 5 MINUTES SPLIT BETWEEN TWO (2) OF YOU.

Those 5 minutes - which meant roughly 2.5 minutes for each of you produced a lot of sweat, pumping heart rates and gasping for air. Each ‘team’ amounted to how many calories? 50? Coach Jeff joked and said “enjoy your spoonful of dessert’. But in reality - we do not realize how many calories are in our food and how much effort it does take to expend more than we take in…..and this is one of the many reasons why Americans are overweight and unhealthy. We drive our car a couple of blocks, park closet to a store, have food delivered by UberEats/DoorDash, sit on the couch and use a remote to change the channel, and shop online. We move less yet eat more. While our next post will be about how calories matter but not necessarily all that matters - take note of how hard you worked today for that 2.5 minutes and how few calories you really did burn. Having said this - Coach Jeff and I do hope you enjoyed your holiday meal without shame and guilt and that your very next meal will be a supportive and healthy choice. Happy Thanksgiving…..we love you guys more you than you know.

Nutrition November Day 23 Tip - The CrossFit Pyramid

This graphic has been shared by CrossFit HQ many times over the years during seminars, videos and even social media posts. Coach Jeff loves it so much that Coach Matt painted on our back wall a couple of years ago. The CrossFit pyramid provides an excellent visual representation of what matters most in CrossFit. It isn’t your 20 pound PR in your clean & jerk. It isn’t your Fran (benchmark workout) time. We want to believe these are the most foundational milestones of CrossFit; the absolutely most important part of CrossFit (both performance and health) is NUTRITION.

Nutrition is the foundation of the pyramid. The quality and constituent elements of an athlete’s diet influence metabolism and therefore the molecular foundations of muscle, bone, and the nervous system. For this reason, any training system that does not consider and duly correct an athlete’s diet will be suboptimal. Long-term training depends upon a solid base of nutritional support.

At CFSD, foundational nutrition is of course staying away from packaged foods/junk/fast food…of course, over the course of this month we have talked about shopping the perimeter (animal proteins, vegetables/fruits) but proper nutrition absolutely means finding what foods are inflammatory TO YOU. It is very easy to assume grains, gluten, dairy and legumes do not affect you - but if you have never given them up for 30 days or more - you will never know if these foods are causing low level inflammation in your body. We have absolutely learned over the years that most of our members have some sort of sensitivity - not necessarily gastrointestinal upset - but skin rashes, achy joints, GERD, etc. Inflammation is the root of ALL dis-ease and even low level inflammation can inhibit good health, weight loss and athletic performance. Consider doing a trial elimination diet and see if it works for you. You have nothing to lose - excellent inflammation and that could be the little needle mover for you.

November Nutrition Day 21 Tip - The 1-2-3 Rule

So? What is this “1-2-3” rule? It’s simple and if you apply it - it does work well in a majority of cases. We are building on yesterday’s Thanksgiving meal nutrition post and if you made it to the continued part in the comments - I eluded to this rule. First - let’s revisit that Thanksgiving is about the turkey (protein) and the fall harvest (vegetables). Pies and cakes entered into the equation and you can indulge as you are indeed a grown-ass adult who can make good decisions. Remember - dessert is just that ‘dessert’ - not the main meal so first answer your hunger with a meal and appropriately consume your protein and veg. At my mother’s dinner table there are generally no less than 5 pies and cakes she has homemade and that does not even count the cookies my sister baked and the several flavors of ice cream that hit the table. Now, you could easily could opt to take a couple of bites of EACH of these options although that generally leads to eating more than you intended or even feels good, quite frankly. And honestly - if that works for you: GREAT. If you don’t want to get totally derailed and end up in the shame spiral - the 1-2-3 rule comes in handy!

Choose the {dessert} item most appealing to you. Don’t cut a sliver - give yourself the full experience. Put your fork into the pie and be very PRESENT while you savor that bite. Try to experience it without rushing the process…letting that cake/pie sit on your tongue a second or two before you chew and swallow…really taste it and experience the texture. Now assess that one bite. How did it taste? Is it amazing and blissful? Is it as organismic as you remember? Give yourself time with it. Set the fork down on the plate. Have some water, coffee or tea - and enjoy a nice conversation with your family/guests. Try to take a break before your second forkful.

Once you are ready to take that second bite - again check yourself and be present with it and avoid quickly shoveling it into your mouth because it was so good the first time around. Go through the exercise again of resting the utensil on the plate and savoring the deliciousness of that dessert. Now - did it taste as good as the first bite? Be honest - do you now notice maybe something about the texture or perhaps it is a bit too sweet or rich or there is a predominant flavor you didn’t notice before? Or - is this bite just as amazing as the first? Again - sip some beverage and enjoy family and conversation giving yourself time to pause before moving on to that third bite.

Ready for bite number 3? If the second bite was just as amazing as the first - move on to the third bite. If it wasn’t - you can decide that the first bite was life changing but not so sure this second bite felt the same way and maybe that is your cue to move on without eating more. If you do feel you are ready to experience this amazing dessert for bite three - GO FOR IT but issue the same restraint as the first two bites. Experience that third bite for all its glory and indulgence. By now - that third bite and experiencing it without rushing through it may very well be ‘enough’ for you. You may decide that this third bite isn’t quite as earth shattering as the first or second and then you have experienced the beauty of the 1-2-3 bite rule and have created a stop-gap measure from overdoing it. Perhaps. Maybe you are someone that rarely eats dessert ever - including dinner out - and this pie of pie/cake/dessert is just too good to not enjoy - and in that case each of the 3 bites was a complete and utterly beautiful experience - by all means finish what is on your plate and never feel guilt or shame!

However in our experience over the years - most people we speak with do find that 3 bites is generally all it takes to love the dessert and feel satisfied when truly applying the control and restraint of the experience itself. BUT of course there are those people that want the entire thing - and that is okay, too! One day won’t spoil 365 days of eating well. But are you eating well 365 days a year or even remotely close to that? (We will leave you hanging for that post closer to Christmas time!)

November Nutrition Day 21 Tip - Thanksgiving

OH… it is that time of year where we are beginning to stress and think about how we are going to manage Thanksgiving eating.   We don’t want to over articulate or focus on the Thanksgiving meal other than to break it down pretty simply.  In the United States - Thanksgiving is synonymous with turkey (*cough* protein) and the bounty of fall harvest (vegetables if that wasn’t clear).  There is not much else to pontificate over, is there?  Of course there is! We humans have to micro-manage everything we do!  Don’t worry - we will boil it down to a few simple concepts and some esoteric ones so stick with us here.   Simply put - there isn’t much to do with turkey that messes it up and that includes frying that poor bird.  Sure - healthier to roast it slow and low in the oven for hours using simple tried and true basting techniques than deep fat frying it outside nearly causing a fire and adding unnecessary oil and calories to the bird but the fact remains that turkey itself is a fairly high protein, low fat option that is supportive to your overall health.  Somehow - someway in our country - we have managed to take vegetables to a fairly unacceptable place for Thanksgiving. Case in point would be the almighty sweet potato or yam; these root veggies are already sweet by nature but Americans add brown sugar and marshmallows (WHY?) to a very sweet plant.  We add packaged fried onions (of course those are fried in crappy grade oils) to green bean casserole and touted as a healthy green.  We don’t need to go on, do we?  Our strategy for Thanksgiving is pretty simple….load up your plate with turkey. LOTS OF IT.  Find the vegetables that appear as close to nature as they came out of the ground: steamed, roasted, blanched… if it has a cream sauce or butter sauce - just eat it.  Give yourself ONE serving of mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole.  Unless the bread is homemade - opt out…it; it’s likely some commercially made, gummy and not worth it option.  Eat the stuffing as your host likely slaved over it.  DONE.  ✔️  As for dessert: employ the 1-2-3 bite rule.  If you are a client of CrossFit Seize the Day - you already know this cult classic advice.  If not - stay tuned to tomorrow’s nutrition post about Thanksgiving.  It will be our last post about this holiday meal!

A Thank You from Coach Jeff…

Kathy and I were completely taken by surprise during class today, when we were shown the shirts that were made and presented with the collection that was taken in support of our upcoming trip for my competition. We never expect people to things for us, so it is hard to put into words how grateful we feel and how lucky we are to be surrounded by such an amazing and generous community.  

We can’t thank you all enough.

Nutrition November Day 20 Tip - Intermittent Fasting

It was inevitable during this month of “Nutrition November” that we needed to discuss the elephant in the room known as “intermittent fasting”… but honestly “fasting” is really the term - as intermittent is sort of redundant.  Fasting is a test not a rule… are you able to stretch out the spaces in between each of your meals?   If you can’t - then no pressure, it will come when you begin to understand that ‘answering hunger with a meal’ means eating enough volume to satisfy and satiate; to ensure that each meal is ‘protein forward’ so the two together (answering hunger with a meal + protein dense) kicks up the satiety factor and fills you up in terms of volume and nutrient density. It’s a semantics dance and what works for me may not work for you.  At some point - you will intuitively begin to eat enough at that meal to carry you to the next meal just a little bit longer than before.  The ability to fast (this does not need to be 16/8, folks) means your metabolism is beginning to operate the way ‘it should’.   Our bodies were designed to have long gaps between meals…..our species is well-equipped to deal with food scarcity …only in more recent,  modern times have we broken our metabolisms and internal hunger clock by purchasing a ticket on the blood sugar roller coaster (by following the Standard American Diet).  Instead of running into a full 16 hour fast - let’s take baby steps.  See if you can begin to go about 30 minutes longer than you normally do in between meals.  If you can - fantastic! Then add another 30 minutes.  If not yet available to you - begin to increase the meal portion/sizes and try again.   Fasting helps foster autophagy (the body’s clean up process) and supports a healthy metabolism.  For the brevity of a social media post - take our word for it; spacing out meals is a great way to lean into intermittent fasting after some practice.  It will serve you well in terms of health and weight loss.

Nutrition November Day 19 Tip - Omega-3s have powerful health benefits for our bodies and brain.  It can help fight depression & anxiety, improve risk factors for heart disease, reduce symptoms of metabolic syndrome, fight inflammation, improve ADD/ADHD, early childhood brain development and more! But Omega-3s are essential nutrients - meaning we cannot get these without nutrition or supplementation.  Per the CrossFit L1 manual - consistent (5 days a week) CrossFitters should supplement with 3 grams of DHA/EPA Omega-3s per day (our favorite brands are Thorne and Nordic Naturals) but it is always best to get your Omega-3s from food sources. Best sources of Omega-3s in foods are SMASH fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring), grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, walnuts, flex seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds.

Sharing this post from Dr. Mark Hyman who on his podcast discusses Omega-3s with my favorite YouTuber - neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, Dr. Daniel Amen and Paul Greenberg.  If you have time - take a listen on the Doctor’s Farmacy with Mark Hyman on Apple Podcasts.  While you are at it - subscribe to Andrew Huberman’s YouTube channel; epic stuff.

Nutrition November Day 18 Tip - Supportive versus non-supportive. Understanding the difference between the two is one of the most valuable lessons we can offer you. We all know packaged and processed foods fall into the unsupportive category at this point given our posts, right? But some may have been head-scratchers…like heart-healthy grains, vegetable oils and canola oil.   Things grains contain gut irritating chemical compounds that wreak havoc on our health.  Seed/grain/vegetable oils are man-made and heavily processed….. our bodies barely recognize them and these ‘franked-fats’ infiltrate our cell members and launch inflammation in the body.  (Inflammation is the root of ALL disease, friends.)Supportive foods are those our human DNA were designed to thrive on: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fermented foods… remember…shopping the perimeter of the store?  Unsupportive: anything in a package that has a list of ingredients and names you cannot pronounce; not supportive unless you want to walk yourself right into heart disease, diabetes, metabolic derangement - the list is endless.  Supportive foods should make up the majority of your diet for a majority of the time.  Spare the processed foods for special occasions.  We will never call foods bad/good….that feels like we are assigning morality to them and then citing bad food to be something we are ashamed of eating.  Note the difference between an indulgence and what is in you regular rotation.   Get honest with yourself.

Nutrition November Day 17 - Do you struggle eating your veggies?

1. Experiment with fresh or frozen… sometimes one may appeal to you more than the other. Also - try playing around with boiling, roasting, steaming or even air frying… eating boiled anything our mothers used to make made us all turn our noses up as kids. (I hated the way my mom made spinach - she steamed and boiled the life out of it!)
2. Don’t eat the vegetables you hate! Look - you should definitely ‘re try’ what you swore off and experiment with different pretreating techniques - it may appeal to you. As an adult - I love brussel sprouts, but hated them as a kid. But don’t force the vegetables you totally despise…..eat the ones you enjoy. While variety is important - just getting in more vegetables than you normally would have is a great goal!
3. Sometimes those veggies may need a companion. Lean into a yogurt dressing or some guacamole… sometimes it just makes it a bit more interesting and palatable. Just don’t over do it; be mindful calories do matter.
4. Buy pre-cut/pre-washed veggies for the win! Sometimes cleaning, peeling, chopping can be a time suck… and very often some of the pre-cut/pre-washed options do not cost all that much more…this makes it easy to ensure vegetables are in your meal as you have no excuses.

Nutrition November Day 16 - We have a healthier version of chicken fingers that your family will love!  Please don’t buy frozen chicken fingers for your kids …you love and care for your children but a peek at the ingredient list on the leading brands will make your head spin.  It is easy to make our version of chicken fingers that will taste great, take little time to prep/cook - and will be so much healthier!   These are also gluten-free and can be completely grain-free too!  You can choose either gluten-free panko crumbs OR finely ground almond meal (for a grain free option).  Ian’s brand has a great gluten-free panko but there are plenty of options available …..just read the label (if you don’t recognize an ingredient - choose another brand).

- Choose the chicken tenderloins in the meat section; I used regular boneless/cleaned/skinless breast for these instead as I wanted them more substantial and cut into strips.  

- Dredge each piece of chicken in almond or coconut flour…this is an important step to allow the egg and coating to adhere to the chicken.  

- Dip the covered chicken in an egg (or two if you are making more than one package of chicken) beaten with water.  

- Then, roll that piece of dredged/egg coated chicken in the gf breadcrumbs.

- Arrange fully coated pieces of chicken on a parchment lined sheet pan.  

- Brush with a small amount of olive oil.  Bake at 350 degrees until toasted on one side - flip, brush with olive oil again and return to oven to bake until again toasted.  

Thicker cutlets take a little longer but this is generally fully cooked in 20 minutes.  Enjoy with your favorite BBQ sauce on the side along with veggies and a starch for a complete dinner.  So much better than fast food and much tastier than anything packaged. Your family will never know you made these in a much more supportive and healthy way.

Nutrition November Day 15 - We posted this photo last month - but given our “Nutrition November” focus - we felt it was relevant and too good not to share again. Those little afternoon ‘pick-me-ups’ coffee beverages can add up, folks. Besides costing upwards of $5 a pop these days (that is $25 a week/$100 month!) - the caloric load that you are sipping away (and likely not counting towards your daily allowance) can work against your weight loss goals and health given all that sugar! Choose your beverages carefully!

November Nutrition Day 14 Tip - Make your breakfast EPIC! Coach and I want you to completely forget everything you thought you knew about “breakfast.”  You don’t have to eat it first thing in the morning when you wake up; although you certainly can if you want to. Answer your hunger! You don't have to skip it and wait till midday, in the name of Intermittent Fasting. Again, just answer hunger; don't micromanage it. You don’t have to eat eggs for breakfast. Or oatmeal. Or yogurt. Or orange juice. Or smoked salmon. Or bagels. Or any of the breakfasty foods you’ve been conditioned to believe need to be eaten in the morning. You can eat any food at any time of day.  We’ve already learned about the importance of answering hunger with a meal a few posts ago.  We’ve learned about the importance of prioritizing protein so that you can tap into the power of satiety to reconnect to our long lost hunger/satiety signals. Now we’ll combine these two concepts and add one final layer to the mix: when you experience your first hunger of the day, answer it with your most substantial meal of the day. This activity has both metabolic reasons, and psychological ones but I prefer to stick to the psychological ones for now…..make the mental practice of answering your first hunger of the day with a very fuel-dense meal, because it trains the brain to love and respect that fuel. And there is magic in that. We won’t opine and say that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," but I do believe that your first hunger is the most important hunger of the day. The meal that answers that important first hunger is the opportunity to deliver substantial, supportive, and sustainable fuel for your wonderful body. It's your opportunity to fill the tank. It shows your body that you know what you're doing. If you decide to answer your first, most important hunger of the day with a danish and a caramel macchiato, you're creating a neural pattern in your brain.

You're telling the brain to love and respect the danish and macchiato because you — the one in charge of the fuel inputs around here— made the brilliant biological decision to bring fast fuel in to answer the call of the most important hunger of the day. On the flip side, when you answer the first hunger of the day with a substantial, protein-forward, very satiating and supportive meal, your brain learns to appreciate, prefer, and crave as well as love supportive foods. It actually makes it easier to choose that fuel (supportive, cleaner, healthier food) more often. You create new grooves in the brain. You begin to covet and crave these incredible fuel dense meals. You won't want to break fast any other way — pancakes and waffles be damned!  And stop right there if you tell us you have no time to make breakfast! We just posted yesterday how to get bulk meal prep done quickly! This delicious looking meal photo was packaged up in a travel container for Coach Jeff to eat this morning after prepping last night – I only added fresh eggs to it this morning: ½ sweet potato, 1.5 cups roasted veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, carrots), 2 whole eggs + 2 egg whites and about 6 ounces of ground beef.

Nutrition November Day #13 Tip - It’s Sunday…..which means it is meal prep day for Coach Jeff and Kathy.  We both work 7 days a week and long hours each of those days therefore meal prep has become streamlined and efficient.  We rather invest our time in preparing our own food not only from a taste experience perspective (those who have been to our home - know we are both very good cooks!) but from a health and economical sense as well.  Take out is expensive….and there is less control in terms of quality.  Most people complain they don’t have *time* to cook; you do! If you have time to binge watch NetFlix, surf Instagram/Facebook or spend time on the phone, you have time to cook.

Coach and I have literally timed ourselves at the grocery store - whether it be Trader Joe’s, Stop & Shop, King Kullen or even Costco.  We have even filmed/timed ourselves moving through the perimeter of the store and self-check out in under 7 minutes.  We do buy pre-washed and pre-cut vegetable options for the slight premium; this saves a lot of time for not much more in price.  Baby carrots, string beans, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes and russet potatoes are today’s selections for roasting.  Baby carrots and string beans each get their own cast iron pan - each with a tablespoon of olive oil plus freshly ground pepper and sea salt.  The broccoli and cauliflower hit a parchment lined sheet pan drizzled with olive oil and again freshly ground pepper and sea salt (we cook these to nearly ‘char’ for added flavor).  All of these roast in the oven at 350 degrees.  After these are in the oven - sweet potatoes and russet potatoes get washed/scrubbed before cutting; also get thrown into smaller cast iron pans along with olive oil plus either a BBQ rub or Cajun inspired rub - or even sometimes just cinnamon sprinkled on the sweet potatoes. While the oven still has room to spare  - this way of cooking is super efficient. Within an hour and only having to stir once half way through - everything is ‘cooked itself’.  During the last 20 or so minutes of the vegetables roasting - proteins are seasoned and hit the BBQ outside…..this also takes minimal supervision.  We generally grill 2-3 packages of chicken cutlets, 2-3 pounds of ground beef, 1 skirt steak.

Shopping: 7 minutes.  
Wash, cut, into pans: 10 minutes.  
Cook time: 60 minutes (for all).  
Total investment of time: 77 minutes….
.
I bet your screen time or texting time today exceeds that!  This feeds us dinner tonight and become much of breakfast (just add eggs), lunch and dinner for days! You DO have time to cook.  You just need to leave the excuses out of your narrative.  So? What’s for dinner tonight?

Nutrition November Day 13 -  Do you need to supplement with magnesium? Most Americans are deficient - or at least low - in magnesium. Why? Because due to modern day farming practices, soil has been depleted of many minerals and magnesium is one of them. You would be surprised to know that magnesium is required for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and being even slightly deficient can have a drastic impact on your overall health. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve mood, help with sleep quality, may benefit sugar management, and have positive effects on migraines if you suffer from them.

Luckily - magnesium can be found in nuts & seeds, leafy greens and in legumes if you tolerate them well; magnesium is also present in meat and fish. While we don’t normally recommend too many supplements (regular whole food is best, folks!) - we do support magnesium supplementation - but not all forms of magnesium are absorbable or well tolerated. Recommended doses are 200-400mg per day and best bioavailable forms of this important mineral are magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate. Stay away from the more popular gummy style supplements (SO MUCH SUGAR!) and opt for brands with the least amount of fillers. Some of our favorite brands are NOW Foods, Jarrow or Thorne Research. We also are big supporters of electrolyte products which contain the right balance of magnesium, sodium and potassium such as LMNT. {Beware of cheap magnesium supplements that are labeled magnesium oxide! Diarrhea, anyone?? Or, commercial electrolyte products that are more sugar or high-fructose corn syrup than electrolytes themselves, cough: Gatorade or Powerade = garbage!}

Nutrition November Day 11 Tip:  Exercise is less than half the equation; you still need to eat right.  At a minimum, shop the perimeter of the grocery store where you will find meats, vegetables and fruits.  Save the processed food for treats or special occasions.  Give up soda.  Limit alcohol. Get about 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight.  Simple rules and it really does not need to be complicated.  The world and good health is yours if you do this consistently and exercise.

Nutrition November Tip Day 10 - Nutrients Not Calories

Ever settle down for an evening of your favorite shows - and perhaps have some delicious coffee cake or some Oreos in the house that you plan to enjoy while you watch? You cut yourself a slice of that cake or portion out a few cookies and settle in.  Before the end of the show - you have already made it back for more; perhaps even by the first commercial break? By the time your shows are over and the 11pm news is about to start - you notice the cake is nearly gone and the package of Oreos you bought for your kids has just a handful left. Conversely have you ever noticed that if you have leftover steak or veggies - you do NOT run back and forth to the kitchen to load up on those over and over?  Our bodies do crave energy but mostly they crave nutrients.   We go back more and more for hyper-palatable foods (cake, cookies, candy, processed foods etc) because they lack nutrient density, never fill us up but are very calorie heavy….before we know it - we have eaten thousands of calories over what our bodies need for balance or a deficit - but feel hungrier than before.  

Our bodies are elegantly designed to crave nourishment but it isn’t getting it from these processed foods.  Given their nutritional profile panel (or lack thereof), the body isn’t ‘satiated and satisfied’ plus they set you on the blood sugar roller coaster (a later post!) resulting in your wanting more and more.  While the occasional dessert or treat in moderation is fine - understand what drives that pattern to go back for more…almost addictively. Many of those foods are designed for you to crave more and eat more….the more you eat - the more calories you consume without the nutrients/nourishment. Despite the caloric load - your body is under-nourished! Give it nourishment!

Nutrition November Tip Day 9 - What About Fat?

Dietary fats have gone through a lot over the years. After being shunned as the culprit for rising obesity and type 2 diabetes rates for decades (turns out, sugar and processed carbohydrates are to blame for that), fat's image is now one of health and wellness. Nuts and seeds have replaced low-fat yogurt as snacks, and more and more people are turning to higher-fat/lower-carb diets to try to manage obesity and related diseases.  Without enough fats in our diet, our skin, hair, hormones, energy levels and metabolic functions can suffer. Fats have many vital roles, including helping to absorb and transport fat-soluble vitamins (that is, vitamins A, D, E and K) around our body, protecting our organs and insulating us to keep us warm.  Fats also provide our bodies with essential fatty acids which are required to build and maintain our cell membranes, which is important for our skin, hair, eyes, heart, brain and more. Fats also help make certain hormones and help you feel satiated -- to help you feel full.  When we're talking about dietary fat, it's important to note that not all fats are created equal. We need to focus on the 'healthy' fats and minimize our intake of the rest. (We are going to cut to the chase here as this topic is fairly long and too nuanced for written word).  General fat intake for most people should be somewhere between 25-30% of one’s caloric intake while trying to keep saturated fat to about 10% of that number.  What fats are best?  Focus on nuts/seeds, avocado, olive oil, and fatty wild-caught fish.  Be careful with those nuts and seeds though; calories add up pretty quickly!  Tap the brakes on an over abundance of cheese and commercially raised red meat…fat here can have some counterproductive effects for a majority of people.  While we are not fearful of fat at CFSD - we are not suggesting you feast on it either!

Nutrition November Day 8 Tip - 80/20. 

Or what a lot of people seem to mean by it…..”I eat cleanly all week and on the weekends, I do eat whatever I want.”  There is NOTHING wrong with this approach if you continue to make progress in the gym, on the scale and without any negative effects on your health/bio-markers.  Having said this - all too often, we hear from gym members looking to become leaner, faster and/or stronger that they should still be able to make progress keeping in line with this philosophy.  Additionally ‘eating clean’ has a variety of different definitions to each person and ‘eating what you want on weekends’ can be hard to assess between a healthy treat/cheat or a full on all day binge-fest.  If progress in terms of weight loss or athletic performance is your goal - and 80/20 or ‘good during the week; not so good on the weekends’ is not likely to get the job done.  This approach will more than likely lead to a maintenance of current fitness, leanness and health.  Again - if you have no issues with this paradigm - no harm/no foul! But those of you who have expressed a strong desire for progress may wish to attack this in a very different way.  Try going for 14 full days with spot-on ‘clean’ eating…no treats, no cheats, no alcohol, no desserts etc.  Focus on protein and vegetable based meals with high satiety factors.  Keep a journal during those two weeks and make note of anything different: Are you moving better in your squat? Did you sleep better? Has the scale seemingly made a little adjustment? Or, do your clothes just fit a little bit better?  Two weeks is not a long time to see full benefits of cleaning eating on a more 95-100% basis - but it will start to show up in little ways.  Can you go a third week just to see how that could up the ante? We generally like to suggest a full 30 days before indulging in a cheat day but we completely understand there is a temperament and patience required for that.  Give yourself two weeks…mark each day complete on your calendar with a big “X”.  Keep a journal and let us know your progress! (And props to you if you decided you could go longer than 2 weeks and make it a third or fourth week!)

Nutrition November Tip Day 7 - For the love of mankind…..stop eating 5-6 meals a day! This fitness and nutrition myth has been around for decades and won’t go away; there is absolutely no science to this one. Please stop for the good of your health and your waistline. Eating 5-6 meals a day has created a heavier and more unhealthy population because:

- It has caused people to inadvertently consume more calories than they expend each day
⁃ It has created an imbalance in the proper macronutrients for people as they tend to ‘snack’ or have small meals that are too carb dense
⁃ Has created a blood-sugar rollercoaster resulting in the ‘hangries’ and hypoglycemia
⁃ Has taxed our digestive tract/organ. Humans are not designed to graze all day - cows are …. and no one wants to look like a cow!
.
Stop micro-managing your meals… start eating in a way the body is designed to eat which does not mean grazing….our DNA is actually more aligned with ‘feast or famine’. We recently posted on social email suggesting we ‘answer hunger with a meal’. Your first meal of the day should be your largest ….consisting of an abundance of protein and carbohydrates (veggies, folks!) with some fat… 2 whole eggs plus some roasted peppers, onions, maybe some sweet potato fits the bill! (I promise the food police will not come get you if you decide to grab the leftover steak in the fridge and eat that for breakfast!) A beautifully protein forward meal as your first meal carries you for hours as protein is the most nutrient and satiating macronutrient there is. You may even be able to skip lunch - but if not - lunch is pretty much more of the same, just in a smaller portion of protein + veg. And dinner? You bet - same protein/carb/fat approach but in the smallest portion yet. Eat 2-3 meals a day. Start big at the beginning of the day..work to smaller meals as the day progresses. Don’t snack (you don’t need snacks - it’s a modern day construct). If you need to snack - that is a good sign that you did not eat enough at the meal prior. We will share more on this later - but less meals = better for your body in terms of health and the number on the scale! (Hint: this sets the stage to incorporate some intermittent fasting over time…stay tuned for that post later this month!)

Are carbs bad?.  No! But all carbs are not created equally.  Brussel sprouts = carbs.  Bagel = carbs.  Do you consider them the same? If you do - we may have a very spirited debate!   Fruits, vegetables, starchy tubers/root vegetables are carbohydrates….we want them in our diets.  But, flour-based carbohydrate products like bread, bagels, muffins, pasta, cookies, cereal — and such —are considered ‘man-made’ carbohydrates that are less favorable to a healthy, lean body.  Vegetables, fruit and starches all have nutritive value (although starches somewhat less than veggies/fruits), fiber and ‘energy’.  So - when you think you *need* a carbohydrate for fuel - first consider some wholesome fruit and vegetables rather than a processed carbohydrate.  There is no human-need for these kinds of processed/marketed carbohydrates despite fitness-myth and bro-science you read on the internet.  While we try to stay away from labeling any carbohydrate as ‘bad’ - it best to increase your consumption of vegetables and fruits.  Save the processed carbs for the occasional Sunday brunch or a special occasion rather than in your regular rotation.

Nutrition November Day 5 Tip

Which oils are the best to use?  Despite mainstream media and advertising - canola, corn, safflower oil along with other vegetable/seed oils are NOT your best choice. Why? Because most of these oils are highly processed to get them to the color and state you seem them in their gleaming bottles. The more processed an oil - the more inflammatory it becomes to the human body. These oils are cheap to make and very shelf stable for long periods of time. They are also very high in Omega-6 fatty acids which in high levels (or even just out of balance with Omega-3 ratios) will cause chronic inflammation. (Inflammation is the root of all disease). Ignore the labels and marketing hype! What oils are the best to use? Our favorites include:
⁃ Avocado oil
⁃ Butter, ghee
⁃ Olive oil
⁃ Coconut oil
*there are more - but these are easily found on grocery store shelves

Nutrition November Day 4

It’s Friday night…..and nearly everyone is either kicking off the 5pm clock out with a beer, glass of wine or cocktail. (Maybe some of you decide to kick clean eating to the curb and indulge in some treats.).  We’re going with the Friday night alcoholic beverage in this post.  Friday night is about leaving the work week behind and having a drink.  Although alcohol does not contain standard macros like protein, carbs or fat - it does contain calories and one bottle of wine may only be 3 glasses but amounts to a total of 600 calories.  And while you may not consume all of that in your Friday night happy hour - if you are simply drinking one bottle of wine over the course of 7 days (one week) - in one month that is a total of 2400 extra calories that you likely did not account for which for illustrative purposes is around the same as 16 snack-size bags of chips, 5 slices of pizza, 10 bottles of 20 ounce Pepsi/Coke, 11 small fries from McDonald’s or 28 Reese’s peanut butter cups.  Think about that….. I bet you are aware of these foods/snacks but didn’t consider that bottle of wine per week to really be that ‘much’.  You don’t need to give up alcohol - you just need to be more aware of its impact on your body and progress. Cutting back will help you reach your body composition goals more easily as well as improve your sleep.  So - scale back to only ‘one’ drink per week…it’s doable.

Nutrition November Day 3 Tip

Always answer hunger with a meal. What do we mean by this? Swipe to see examples. Every call from your body when it cues up hunger isn’t about ‘calories’ - it is about nourishment. We talked yesterday about the necessity of protein in a healthy diet; answering your hunger with a protein forward meal is exactly what nourishment is about. A meal is not a snack. Try to remove the idea of a small meal or snack from your mind….it is a modern day construct that only put humans on the blood sugar roller coaster….there is no evidence that eating 5-6 small meals/snacks a day will keep your metabolism going; as a matter fact - this is the last thing that helps a metabolism. So, answer your hunger with a MEAL. A meal consists of a protein (meat such as quality grassfed red meat, pastured poultry, wild caught fish) plus a mountain of vegetables. In some cases and depending on your current health status and goals - a small amount of starch such as root vegetables or rice can help round out the *meal*. But a meal must include about a half plate of protein + overflowing other half of vegetables. This meal will keep you going for hours and you will be answering your body’s call for nourishment! Got questions? Ask us!

Nutrition November Day #2 

Prioritize protein. Why? It is absolutely gram for gram, the most nutrient dense, satiating and satisfying macronutrient there is.  Think about it - when you eat some carbohydrates - you always reach for more.  When you eat a nice juicy steak or half chicken - do you find yourself returning to the kitchen for more? No…but that is more of a dialogue not a social media post!  So from a science perspective - why is protein important (and we are distilling it down for space reasons!):

1. Reduces appetite and hunger levels.  Protein is proven to be more filling and naturally reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin; protein also boosts  ‘peptide YY’ - a hormone that makes you feel full.

2. Increases muscle mass and strength.  Protein is the building block of your muscles.

3. It’s good for your bones.  Studies show that people who eat more protein tend to maintain bone mass better as they age over those who do not.  Pretty simple and we bet you didn’t know that!

4. Reduces cravings and desire for late night snacking. Cravings are different than hunger and honestly, cravings are really hard to control!  However the best way to overcome a craving is NOT being hungry in the first place.  Protein helps with that - see number 1!

5. Boosts metabolism and increases fat burning.  Eating can boost your metabolism for a short while because our bodies uses calories to digest and protein actually burns more calories to digest than any other macronutrient.

6. Lowers your blood pressure.  Studies show that protein can lower systolic blood pressure (the top reading) by an average of 1.76mm hg.  A high protein diet also reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

7. Maintains weight loss. A high protein diet boosts metabolism which leads to an automatic reduction in calorie intake.  One study found that overweight women who ate 30% of their calories from protein lost 11 pounds in only 12 weeks even though they did not intentionally create a calorie deficit.

8. No - it does not harm your kidneys.  We won’t get too far into this - but unless you suffer from advanced stage kidney disease - protein is completely safe to consume!

9. Helps repair itself after injury.  Protein is the building blocks of muscle, organs, tissue and skin.  Without it - healing is slowed.

10. Helps you stay  fit as you age.  One of the consequences of aging is that muscles gradually weaken…. Protein helps spare muscle breakdown.  Sarcopenia is a very real condition of older people which can cause bone fractures, frailty and reduced quality of life.  Eating your protein is a way to reduce age-related muscle deterioration or even ward off sarcopenia.

This event has been organized by Tim Cook, to honor the life of his father, Richard Cook, who passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia on January 19th, 2020.  

Inside the #'s - the name of the WOD 'Relax and Active' stands for Richard & Anna Cook, the parents of the event organizer.  19min is for his birthday of 1/19.  218 is their house # and Richard passed away on his 69th birthday, hence the 6 & 9 reps.

This is a Partner workout and not a competition. ALL are welcome to attend and if you do not have a partner, we can match you with someone.  

It takes more than one person to make up a team and that’s why we are asking for your help. Your donation/registration will help fund treatments that save lives every day; like immunotherapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer. You may not know it, but every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these.  Together, we can Cook cancer!!!!

Last month, Long Beach resident, Casey Skudin tragically lost his life in a freak accident.  Amongst many things, Casey was a loving husband and father, a member of the FDNY and a Coach at Island Park Fitness.  
.
CrossFit is known for its sense of family and community. This Saturday 7/30 CFSD is proud to join @islandparkfitness in honoring Casey with this Hero WOD.  Heat times will be 730a/830a/930a.  This workout is open to all. CFSD members should sign up through ZenPlanner and non-members may reserve on our website cfseizetheday.com.  You must sign up ahead of time as space and equipment will be limited.  If one heat is full, you must come to another.
.
There are two versions of this Hero WOD. ‘Casey’ - which is created for the more experienced athletes and ’Skudin’ which may be more suitable for less experienced athletes. Read the notes that Coach Rob from IP Fitness has written to see which workout option is better for you. 
.
The significance of the numbers:
19 - 19k is how far Casey rode his bike from his home to his fire station and 19 was also his birthday (6/19)
137 - Casey was a member of Ladder Company 137
16 - Casey served as an FDNY firefighter for 16 years
45 - Casey was 45 years old at the time of his tragic passing

Part 2 - Rowing Stroke Rate practice
Rowing harder does not necessarily mean more strokes per minute. Increasing your speed occurs from applying more power to your drive yet still relaxing in the recovery.  The key to increasing your stroke rate while maintaining intensity is to apply good power at the beginning of the stroke, by bracing your mid-line and engaging your legs and keeping your recovery under control. It’s called the recovery for a reason...

In recognition of World Down Syndrome Day (Mon 3/21) - we will be doing a workout “WOD About Down Syndrome".  Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra (3rd) copy of the 21st chromosome (also referred to as Trisomy 21). This extra genetic material effects many aspects of an individual’s development including; cognition, speech/language, motor skills, overall health, as well as physical characteristics.
.

Living a heathy lifestyle through good diet and exercise is obviously important for all of us, but especially for individuals with Down Syndrome, due to low muscle tone.
.


Join us on 3/21 for WOD About Down Syndrome.  When you come to class – make sure to wear mismatching socks!  Why?  Because chromosomes look a little like socks and people born with Down syndrome rock that extra chromosome!
.
Guests are encouraged to attend at no charge.
You can register at https://cfitseizetheday.com/pages/schedule.
