Smaller group than the past couple of years. But still an epic workout. Murph is in a class all it’s own. You either show up and do it, or you don’t. Simple as that.

Hooyah and thank you!

Or F.E.A.R. or False Expectations Appearing Real…
How do you manage your own fear?
How do you utilize fear?
How do you conquer fear?
These are questions we ask ourselves… What do you do?
How do I define fear? It’s when I’m visualizing a future event that hasn’t even happened and it’s impacting how I think and feel in the present.

(IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them. In this respect, it’s not a diet in the conventional sense but more accurately described as an eating pattern
Intermittent fasting is not a diet. It is a timed approach to eating. Unlike a dietary plan that restricts where calories come from, intermittent fasting does not specify what foods a person should eat or avoid. Intermittent fasting may have some health benefits, including weight loss, but is not suitable for everyone. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324882
16:8 intermittent fasting, which people sometimes call the 16:8 diet or 16:8 plan, is a popular type of fasting. People who follow this eating plan will fast for 16 hours a day and consume all of their calories during the remaining 8 hours. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327398

It’s probably cliche but it’s a truth that has existed since the beginning of sports. It exists now even more in the world of person fitness. It’s the cold hard fact that a coach can not coach your motivation. We can inspire, harass, convince and even in come cases drag you to the gym but it won’t last and at some point we all must find the accountability and self-discipline within our own hearts to become a better version of ourselves.
Enjoy the show. 🙂
