carleyfaceThe second week of training has come to an end for Carley and Jon. The week was uneventful for the most part. Unfortunately Jon had to take a couple days off from training secondary to family matters. He Should be back on track for Week III. The good news and big event of the week is that we have come to an agreement with a dietitian to consult with Jon and Carley. We are happy to announce Jennifer McDaniel, MS, RD, CSSD, LD will be joining our team on this journey.

Jennifer comes to us with very impressive credentials. Jennifer teaches at ST. Louis University, St. Louis, Mo. She owns a private nutrition consulting company and also Consults for Carmichael Training Systems (CTS). Jennifer will be consulting with Jon and Carley by phone and internet. Their first item of business with Jennifer is to fill out a nutritional survey. Next week she will be contacting them by phone to educate them, set goals, and get them started on a more concrete diet. We are very happy to have such an authority in the sports field working with our athletes. We will be posting more information about Ms. McDaniel on our website in the near future.

Beside shoring up on their nutrition, Jon and Carley continue to work on perfecting their workout programs. Some changes in their workout routines may be merited before the six weeks of phase I are over. Stay tuned.
