Day 15: My Essential Grocery List.

Hey guys half way today! What a great feeling! I must say once you hit that half way mark there is no looking back. I am feeling great with ample energy and a higher drive to finish this challenge. Due to the high sugar content I did say I was going to cut fruit for the remainder of the challenge however I don't think I actually can and I will be sticking to one piece a day. I want to remain feeling good, and train with quality amounts energy.

I probably should have posted this earlier on in the challenge but one of my friends asked me what my essential grocery list would be for beginners like her. She also said why don't you post it on the blog! What a great idea!!!

Thanks to the CrossFit Blenheim group for hosting me over the weekend. It's awesome to go away from home but still enjoy a bit of CrossFit love!! They have developed an outstanding community over there and I look forward to some competitions with the Nelson crew :). This quote I found sums it up well.
