8. What kind of nutrition plan do you follow and has that changed since you started Cross Fit?
I never really had a nutrition plan but since starting I have tried Paleo and have continued with that to a degree when its not during the Challenge. I am now a lot more cautious of what I eat.
9. Talk about your results from doing Cross Fit?
Since starting I have more energy and sleep better. I love spending my early morning with my sisters. I have started eating better and with that I have seen major changes in my body. I am able to do things that I was not able to do before and I have the confidence to push myself harder. I’m looking forward to see what the next few years will bring.
