Most of these touches should be heavy but technical

Carrie’s Story-What’s life like 1 year after a Whole30?

By: 0

Carrie's Story-What's life like 1 year after a Whole30?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday Almost exactly a year ago we published Carrie's story about her recent experience with her first Whole30. If you didn't originally get a chance to read that, you can check it out here: http://crossfitsouthbend.com/carries-story/ In this video we wanted to see how Carrie was doing health-wise one year after her first Whole30. The headline: she's doing great and she and her family are eating this way the majority of the time while still occasionally having treats for special occasions. Remember, eating healthy is not about doing a 30-day cleanse, diet, or fad and then returning to bad eating habits for the rest of the year, even if it's the Whole30.  Eating healthy is about making a long-term lifestyle change where one chooses to eat healthy food the vast majority of the time while avoiding unhealthy food unless it's a special occasion. Carrie's a great example of that mentality. Congrats on sticking with it Carrie, and keep up the great work!! Are you looking to looking to lose weight, be healthy again, and kick ass at life? Schedule a free 30-min one-on-one nutrition consultation with CFSB Head Nutrition Coach Robby Gustin to see how our nutrition programs can help you achieve those goals.
