Your WOFB Crew!

This past weekend was eventful and exciting!

First off, Coach Edgard won his 4th professional fight, bringing him to a record of 4-0.   WOOHOO!!  He’s been training hard and it shows.  Here are some photos from that night.  (click on photo to enlarge)

Next, on Saturday, Sole Sisters met at FIU for the usual intense & sweaty stair and ramp workout.  It was awesome!

Finally, on Sunday, we kicked off our weekend workouts for the Amazing Race, WOFB Edition, with workout #1.

Next workout is Sunday, July 3.

You can attend the workout even if your team isn’t present.
You can also attend the workout if you still don’t have a team of 3.  It will be easier to find a team this way.

We had a blast last year!   Here are some of those memories…

The WOFB Team!

If there is one tip I can offer someone who is looking to lose weight, it would be to SKIP THE LIQUID CALORIES.  Choose water over juice and soda!  Besides the many benefits to staying hydrated through out the day, you spare your body loads of sugar & unnecessary chemicals.

If you’re looking to fruit juice to get your daily dose of vitamins, why don’t you opt for the whole fruit instead?

Myth: 100% Fruit Juice Is The Same As a Whole Fruit

Fruits and vegetables can provide our bodies with a wide variety of nutrients. One of the most nutritious parts of a fruit is the pulp and skin, because they contain fibre (which is important for heart, digestive health).  When we buy fruit juice from the grocery store, the pulp and skin are often removed during processing, so ultimately you are left with a bottle of fruit sugar. Whilst there is nothing wrong with fruit sugars when eaten in the right amounts, drinking bottled juice can make it super easy to consume a lot of it in a short period of time.

So what about homemade juices?

When you eat an apple for a mid-morning snack, you generally just eat one, right? However, when you make an apple or orange juice, you might add two, three or even four whole fruit to create a decent amount of juice. This dramatically increases the amount of fruit you are consuming at once.  When you eat the whole fruit, including the peel and pulp, the fibre that it contains can help your body to break it down more slowly and also tell your brain when you have had enough. Because juice can be drunk much faster, your body may not be able to recognise these cues to the same extent as eating the whole fruit.

Yes, fruit does contain a number of beneficial ingredients but don’t be fooled by fancy packaging and marketing of juices!

SO RETHINK YOUR DRINK!

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

The WOFB Team

Ladies,

Here’s a cheat sheet from Precision Nutrition (PrecisionNutrition.com) for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, that teaches you how to build the right kinds of meals, quickly, easily and affordably.  If you follow my 80/20 rule (eat clean and healthy 80% of the time), and maintain your workout schedule, you’re easily on your way to achieving a healthy lifestyle that leads to looking and feeling your best.

Aside from giving you a fun and challenging workout environment, it is WOFB’s lifelong mission to help people develop healthy eating habits for life.

And that means:

* Eating fresh, minimally-processed food as often as possible
* Including a balance of protein, veggies, smart carbs, healthy fats
* Adjusting portions to meet health and body composition goals

Regards,

Your WOFB Family

I just want to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy for the families of the victims that were senselessly murdered – I can’t even begin to imagine what they are feeling.  And for the wounded that are still fighting for their lives in the hospital, I pray they find the strength to pull through.

We can only believe that in a world where some people try to spread chaos and hate…. they will ALWAYS be overpowered by those who spread love and show kindness towards each other.
