Subject: Phase 8 starts Mon, 7/10: pick your new, nutrition habit, plus see the warm ups & workout card

Good evening Change Maker!

Tomorrow is the start of Phase 8.  It's going to be an awesome phase with lots of fun progressions and I think you'll really enjoy getting better and working on your goals.  



First things first and that's nutrition.  If you want to get better you gotta supply the right nutrition at the right times in the right amount.  Want a full blown, personalized nutrition plan?  RSVP later for the next nutrition discussion (1:30p, Sat, July 29).  In the mean time, let's play the long game and fall into good habits by focusing on 1 nutrition habit at a time.  



P8, Nutrition Habits
Please pick your next nutrition habit you'll practice every day for the next 4 weeks.  

Make sure you have a 9 out of 10 confidence level you'll be able to do it everyday.  

You can make it a bit harder (if needed) by writing the number of times per day you'll practice it, vs. per day only. 

Example1:  eat slowly and stop @ 80% full each day

or 

Example2:  eat slowly and stop @ 80% full @ 2 meals per day

or 

Example3:  eat slowly and stop @ 80% full @ 3 meals per day

or 

Example4:  eat slowly and stop @ 80% full @ every meal

O.K.  Choose your next nutrition habit and the frequency you'll do it, then write on both sides of your workout card and record it every day for 4 weeks.  This means you answer the question in your journal, planner, calendar, smart phone, etc... on the days you're not with us.

P8, Workout Cards
Attached you'll find pdfs of the nutrition habits, workout cards and warm ups if you want to print them out or use them if you're training away from us during this phase.  Otherwise, click on the picks and take a gander at what we'll be doing.  Bring your questions to BC or reply to this email.

We're at the halfway point of our year.  You've got 6 months to beat the body weight creep and finish the year better than you started.  You've got 3 months to peak for fall races, 2-months to peak for the return to school and it's beach season so let's continue working on looking, moving and feeling our best.  



Making change happen,


Your coach,


Mike Alves



p.s.  choose and write down your nutrition habit now!  Do it!



p.p.s.  what'd you do for cardio minutes the last 2 weeks and CW's last week?
