We had a great week last week! Over 40 members did the first assessment, which is a record! Everyone seemed to get off to a great start on the New Year's Challenge, and it's exciting to see so many on board with it. We had 5 new members sign up and join in on the challenge, too. Great way to start the year! We can't wait to keep up with everyone's progress! Be sure to get your goals for this week down on your sheet now, if you haven't already done so. We have folders at the gym for you to store your packets in, if you'd like. Whatever you do, don't lose them!
Our open gym on Saturday was a big success. Bribery with food always seems to do the trick! And it was worth it... I was a big fan of the carrot muffins. As requested here are the recipes I used:
For the carrot muffins: http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2011/09/wheat-belly-buster-carrot-flaxseed-muffins/
For the sweetener, I used 1/3 cups of honey
I used unsweetened applesauce instead of sour cream or yogurt
I didn't have oranges, so I left out the orange zest, and for the oil, I used coconut
For the Breakfast Flax Cookies: http://powerhungry.com/2013/02/847/
I used Earth Balance coconut and peanut spread for the peanut butter. Mmmmmm :)
