To be sustainable, the #800gChallenge requires consistently making better choices throughout the day. If you are having a hard time hitting that 800g total, how does breakfast look? By putting 200-300g grams in the bank at breakfast, you are setting yourself up for success and flexibility later in the day. @optimizemenutrition #800gchallenge #puttingametriconquality #healthyeatingwithouttheobsession

Welcome to Day 1 of the #800gChallenge! You can now log your scores in @wodify. While you should weigh and measure your fruits and veggies at home or work, you can estimate quantities when eating out or on the road. A simple tip is that 1 cup of many fruits or vegetables is ~100g (except leafy greens which are ~25g/cup). As shown, a closed fist is about the size of a cup. Lighter items are closer to 100g/cup and heavier items are closer to 160g/cup. Don’t be afraid to eyeball it; you will likely be within 20-30 grams. And all that weighing and measuring at home will help make this more accurate over time. @optimizemenutrition #800gchallenge #puttingametriconquality #healthyeatingwithouttheobsession

What’s the #800gChallenge? A simple way to measure quality in the diet. Eat 800 grams (by weight) of fruits and vegetables per day. No other foods are eliminated in the challenge. Eat the macros you want. Eat the fruits or veggies you like. Challenge dates are Feb 3 - Mar 1. Cost is $25 per person. Sign up at the link by Feb 3.

Happy New Year and a huge THANK YOU to all our members who make CFR possible and trust us with their fitness. We truly appreciate all of you, and we are striving everyday to help you reach your goals! There is a sign in the office window that posts our gym rules: 1. Always lift with a straight back 2. NO COMPLAINING... The second rule isn’t because we get annoyed by complaints. It’s because we recognize the relationship between thoughts and actions. If you think I can’t finish this workout your body’s response is to slow down, because if I’m not going to finish what’s the point? If you change that thought to I will give 100% effort in this workout your mood is no longer correlated to a number on the white board. You can still leave the gym feeling accomplished and good about yourself, which will carry over into the rest of your day. So let’s not focus on the leaderboard this year. Let’s focus on giving nothing less than your best effort each and everyday. #crossfitrochester #nocomplaining #wodchester2020 See more
