The Week Ahead 5.19.19

A QUICK LOOK BACK

• Average Stephen:  Diablo Coach Stephen decided to follow Alessandra around for a day and do her workouts with her (uh..scaling appropriately). Watch his very cool & fun video. Subscribe to his feed so you can catch all his work with Diablo’s Game’s athletes this season.
• Michelle Lacy is a BadAss! Michelle (47) has lost more than 150 pounds and just completed her first Spartan Trifecta by finishing the Spartan Beast (13+ miles and 30+ obstacles) in 7:25.
• The Rogue Invitational Sanctional was one of the best CrossFit competitions I’ve watched – an incredible production. The “Legends” competition was an emotionally inspiring experience. Diablo athletes competed with many of these athletes for many years.
• A new Keurig Coffee maker has been installed. All is right in the world.
• Happy Birthday Coach Andrew!

CRAIG’S LIST

Chernobyl – HBO – This is a mind-blowing account of the Nuclear Reactor failure and explosion in 1986. I didn’t understand the potential consequences of this event and how close we were to a Global disaster. Chernobyl is a five-part miniseries that tells the story of one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history — and of the sacrifices made to save Europe from unimaginable disaster. This should be everyone’s must-watch list.

NIH: NIH study finds heavily processed foods cause overeating and weight gain – A first-of-its-kind clinical trial.  “Though we examined a small group, results from this tightly controlled experiment showed a clear and consistent difference between the two diets,” said Kevin D. Hall, Ph.D., an NIDDK senior investigator and the study’s lead author. “This is the first study to demonstrate causality — that ultra-processed foods cause people to eat too many calories and gain weight.”
