WINNING

So it seems Apartment Therapy isn't the only one with some resolution-based Challenge for 2015.  CrossFit South Brooklyn has announced their six-week "Look, Feel, and Perform Better Challenge" which seems like as good a thing as any to get me through this impending Dryuary.  The rules are pretty simple...you sign up, pay $30, submit a "before" photo to their website and perform a trial WOD as an initial benchmark.  You then log points on their online spreadsheet daily.  Points are awarded as follows:

(3) Full Clean Day:  Ate Zone balanced meals all day
(1) 1 Item Off List:  Ate one slightly off balance meal
(0) 1 Full Meal Off Plan:  Ate one way off balance meal
(-3) More than One Meal Off Plan:  Ditched the Zone for more than one meal
(1) Fish Oil:  Took 3 grams of EPA/DHA in fish oil tabs
(1) Sleep: 7 solid hours of sleep the night before
(1) Active Recovery: 15 minutes with a foam roller
(1) Hydration: 72 oz of water daily
(1) WOD: Trained either at CrossFit or elsewhere

Winners of the Challenge will be judged on positive body comp changes as demonstrated by the before and after photos, total points earned during the six weeks and overall improvement on the trial WOD.

It seems the greatest number of points one can achieve in a single day is 8.  Which means a perfect score at the end of three weeks is 336...but that means you'd have to work out every single day which is brutal and not great for you.  Its been a goal of mine to supplement my CrossFit days with some good ole fashioned Tracy Anderson workouts on my off-days, but it remains to be seen how difficult that will be.  I'll just have to take it day by day.  The hardest thing will likely be the initial workout on January 1st after a whole night of celebrating...

The Grand Prize is two whole months of unlimited membership free which would be pretty sweet...and you guys know me, I always love a good a challenge!  I say bring it.
