“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”- Matthew 5:14,16

Rest DAY, Two A Dayers Do one of these! (you know who you are)
Choose ONE of the following sports.
All sports: Tabata Protocol 20:10 (that is 20 seconds all out, 10 seconds total rest) x 8 nothing else!
Swim: Use a pool or open water
Bike: ** Use a Monarch Erg, Stationary Bike with wattage tool, or something similar that can hold a load at 250-300 watts or more.
Run: Use a treadmill and set at 12% grade and 0-30sec slower pace per mile then best 5k pace, and don’t lower the speed. You can also use a track, road, or trail, just stop on the rest and turn around and try and cover the same distance on each one, or at #4.
Pizza at the Beach!!
I used some leftover turkey Italian sausage for this which gave it a really good flavor. I sauteed 1/2 link de-cased and broken into small pieces. As is this pizza is low on carbs so you will need to add a small side to balance your carbs and fat.
Sausage and Pepper Pizza-3 blocks
1 whole wheat pita round (2 blocks carb)
1/2 turkey sausage link (1 block protein/ 1 block fat)
1/2 red bell pepper sliced (1/4 carb)
2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (2 blocks protein)
1 tbl pizza sauce (negligible on all markers)
Add small side of 1 carb and 1 fat block to balance (I had a small salad with olive oil dressing).

Good Luck on your interview Wendy in N.C.! We will miss you!
15k Run (9.6 miles)
or
Workout:
5 rounds for time of:
1 Squat snatch + 10 overhead squats (men use 95 pounds, women use 65 pounds)
15 pull-ups
Why do we Snatch?
There are many reasons, but here is one:
Reason one:
The productive application of force. CrossFit gives
the athlete the ability to use their fitness. Elite Fitness
demands among other things, coordination, balance,
agility, and flexibility. The skill set required to learn
the Snach is the reason to learn the Snatch.

Parmeasen Crusted chicken
I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into large strips for this recipe because it keeps the chicken moist. For the coating I mix 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (it is easier to make your own in your blender), 1 tbl garlic powder, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken strips in a light dusting of whole wheat flour first and egg, then lightly coat with Parmesan mixture. Heat 2 tbl light olive oil in a pan over med high heat and cook chicken just long enough to crisp the outside. Place chicken on a baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 20 -25 minutes or until cooked throughout.
Parmesan Crusted Chicken- 3 blocks
3 oz chicken (3 blocks protein)
1 1/2 cups green beans (1 block carb)
2 cups mixed green salad ( 2 blocks carb)

Milk Does a body Great!!
I think milk is a perfect food. It is perfectly balanced and incredibly good for you! I have had some questions regarding the difference between whole, skim and 2% milk on the Zone. Whole milk and 2% are pretty balanced as they are. The ratios of fat to carbs to protein are almost perfect. However, if you are drinking 1% or nonfat milk you will need to add fat in some other area to balance out what you are missing in the milk fat. Milk is a great addition to an afternoon or late night snack, but make sure if you are being strict that you count each cup of milk as 1 block of each marker.

Summer Grillin ( From CFSCC)
I used pork ribs for this recipe because they tend to be a bit leaner, but it is really your preference. I put a rub on the ribs made up of: 2 1/2 tsp dry mustard, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp celery salt, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix and rub slabs of ribs on both sides. I wrapped the slabs (stacked) tightly in foil and baked them for about 2 hours at 300 degrees. You can probably skip that step, but it makes the ribs really tender. Grill over medium heat adding whatever rib sauce you prefer (if any) for about 5 minutes each side.
Pork Ribs and Zucchini- 3 blocks
3 oz of ribs (make sure you are trimming the fat off as you go)-(3 blocks protein)
2 cups zucchini sauteed in 2 tsp olive oil and 1/2 cup onion (2 blocks carb/ 2 blocks fat)
1/2 whole wheat pita and hummus (added later when I realized I was low in carbs and fat) (1 block carb/ 1 block fat)

CFE REST
From our friends at CFSCC
I found this recipe in a magazine and made a few simple changes to make it zone friendly. It was really good and very quick to put together. You can pair this with any carb you like, but the bread in this is 2 carbs so try and make it a carb that you can have quite a bit of to make your meal more satisfying. I mixed 1 pound ground turkey, 1 tbl olive oil, 1 tbl chipoltle sauce, salt and pepper. Make 4 hamburger patties and grill 4-5 minutes each side. Melt 1 slice pepper jack cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.
Tex-Mex Turkey Burgers-
1 3oz turkey burger (2 blocks protein)
1 slice pepper jack cheese (2 blocks fat)(3rd block of fat comes from the olive oil in burgers)
1 slice whole grain bread or 1/2 roll of you liking (2 blocks carb)
2 1/2 cups broccoli and cauliflower (1 block carb)

Sunday is generally my “cheat day” for the week because I do not work out on Sunday. Having one day a week to take a break from weighing and measuring and worrying about blocks is a valuable thing. Anyone who is staying strict on the zone is working hard to maintain that no matter how long you have been “zoning”. I treat my cheat days more as a “relax” day. I do not necessarily go crazy and eat a whole chocolate cake (yet, anyway) but I let myself eat what I am craving (Carne Asada was the focus tonight). Another benefit that I have experienced with my cheat days is that when I do go crazy (especially with sugary treats) I feel so bad after, that I WANT to get back in the zone. It acts as a great reminder to me just how good I feel when I am monitoring what goes into my body, and makes staying there much easier. I would love to hear your thoughts and habits regarding “cheat days” and what your cheat foods are.
