FUCS Challenge Updates

Our FUCS Challenge is rapidly coming to an end! The last day is this Wednesday, April 29.  You’re off the hook as soon as you complete your performance test and post your results to the blog. Good news: We’re keeping our eye on the weather and may perform the test on Tuesday  if rain is expected on Wednesday.

Inbody Update

At the outset of the challenge, all participants received a free Inbody scan, and we promised that everyone who completed the requirements of the challenge would get a 2nd free Inbody at the end. Due to the continuing stay-at-home order, we can’t complete the 2nd round of Inbody scans at this time. We will give “IOUs” to everyone who met all the challenge requirements, and we’ll prioritize getting your scans done as soon as we re-open!

Challenge Winners

What does that mean for challenge winners? We’ll select our winners based primarily on performance test results, but we’ll also factor in diet adherence and any physical data available (for instance, if you kept track of your weight or any body measurements).  In order to be in the running to win, you must have completed all requirements of the challenge which included: (1) sign up for the challenge, (2) complete the performance test at the beginning and end, (3) keep a log of your eating for all 6 weeks, (4) complete at least four ICA Daily WODs each week and post your results to the blog each day. Once we compile the list of everyone who is in the running, we’ll be in touch to request your eating logs. We’ll likely specify a one-week period. We’ll pick two FUCS Nutrition & Fitness Challenge winners who will receive a free month of membership to ICA!

Post-FUCS – Where to go From Here?

One of the hardest parts of any nutrition challenge is trying to figure out how to eat once the challenge is over!

  • Option 1: If you felt great during the challenge and your diet wasn’t too difficult to stick to, maybe you want to keep going for another 2-6 weeks! You could emerge from this Covid-19 quarantine looking lean and mean, while your neighbors are complaining about the “quarantine 15!”
  • Option 2: For most people, we recommend transitioning from your strict diet into something more sustainable,  often referred to as 80/20 compliance. You might follow your diet for 6 days of the week, but you choose 1 day each week to treat yourself to a “cheat meal.” Maybe you add in a glass of wine or whiskey a couple evenings each week. You loosen up the rules, but you don’t go completely off the rails… you worked hard for the results you’ve seen and you want to maintain them!
  • Remember that we offer 1:1 nutrition coaching if you find yourself needing guidance in the coming weeks. We would be happy to help you reach short-term goals or put in place a long-term eating plan!

FUCS Happy Hour

Join us this Friday, May 1, for our end-of-FUCS Challenge celebration and our first-ever ICA quizzo! Show up on Zoom anytime after 8:00pm for happy hour; the actual games will start around 8:30pm. You can play solo, or team up with your family, or pick a teammate and communicate via text or call during the game. Please RSVP via the Facebook event or, if you don’t have Facebook, post a comment to this blog so we have an approximate headcount.

We’ll be celebrating the end of the FUCS challenge, so BYO favorite “treat” food and beverages! Quizzo is open to all ICA members, whether or not you participated in the challenge.

Thank you to Murray for hosting!!
