January 2019 Nutrition Challenge

As part of our #fitnessisalifestyle campaign, I create small nutrition challenges that you can work on each month! The goal isn’t perfection here.. it’s just to become a “little bit better” than you were yesterday.  This is how we create new habits and lasting change. One small step at a time. Let’s use each other for motivation and new ideas!

The challenge for JANUARY is: PARTICIPATE IN DRY CAVEMAN!

This month the nutrition challenge is going to mirror our Dry Caveman challenge as we feel it is that important. Dry Caveman officially starts NOW and goes until Feb. 14th… if you don’t think you can make it the whole way, how about try for the full month of January?? If you do register for the full challenge, you can take advantage of the special we are offering for Inbody: 2 scan’s for $48!!

ABOUT THE “DRY CAVEMAN”

Dry Caveman is Diablo CrossFit’s annual, voluntary “alcohol abstention competition.” Every New Year until Valentine’s day, many Diablo members pledge to not consume alcohol. It’s a great way to detox from the holidays, lose the stubborn pounds, and check-in with ourselves – physically and mentally. This is our 10th year of hosting this challenge (and it still still sucks)!

WHY PARTICIPATE

The list of positive reasons to participate is long, but the most important reason reasons are your health, both short-term and long-term. We do CrossFit so that we can be healthy, yet the evidence is overwhelming that alcohol negatively affects health & wellness. So, if you participate you are very likely going to lose weight, feel better and make gains.

As CrossFitters, our fitness exceeds that of many of our friends, family and peers, so it’s easy to overlook the adverse effects of alcohol consumption. However, many of us probably know family and friends whose lives have been affected by alcohol. The Dry Caveman is a great way to “check in” on yourself.

Most people quickly discover how difficult it is to NOT drink: with friends or family, with work peers, at parties, at sporting events, or other events. Warning: you may be surprised by the reactions of your friends and family (and the peer pressure).

In the end, we guarantee you’ll learn a lot about yourself, improve your health and gain a sense of accomplishment!
