I never had a problem keeping off the pounds till after my second child. I gained 20 lbs in the year and a half after having my second son. I think it was a combination of my husband losing his job, his depression, my schedule at work and craziness with the kids schedule that made me depressed enough to stop caring about the food [pullquote type="right"] I stopped eating the rest of my kids food, or snacking just because everyone else was. I chose healthy food and eating this way helped my allergies, psoriasis, an joint pain.[/pullquote]I put in my body or what I looked like. Luckily my brother runs this great gym with a great lifestyle plan. I started at Crossfit when they had a lifestyle challenge that began January 1st and lasted 90 days. I lost 16 lbs the first month, and my total loss after two months was 32 lbs. My last weigh in was one week after the challenge was over. My total loss was 38 lbs. Everyone is telling me I look better than ever and my " love handles" are gone the first time in my life. It's great! Aside from the weight loss I noticed my cravings and senseless eating had stopped. I stopped eating the rest of my kids food, or snacking just because everyone else was. I chose healthy food and eating this way helped my allergies, psoriasis, an joint pain. I also sleep better than ever and have more energy than ever. I finished the challenge a week ago. When I went off plan for the first time I felt bloated, sick and I didn't overindulge either. I like how I feel much better when I make the right choices with my food. I plan on eating this way for the rest of my life. Thanks to Crossfit South Bend for sending me down the right path.

A.

Class will be split into two teams and will perform

3 x 80 yard ( 40 yards down and back ) prowler pushes each @ 180/120 - That is weight loaded on prowler as a relay.

Notes:

If you have to switch weight out to a scaled weight, the team is allowed to help. Make sure this is not a "grind" I should see relatively consistent movement through the push.

B.

10 Clean and Jerks 135/95 Max Toes to Bar in Time remaining

3 minutes to perform

10 Clean and Jerks 135/95 Max Double Unders in time remaining

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][container][text_output][dropcap]A[/dropcap]s a person who was a creature of habit, I all but settled with the fact that my body shape was genetic and that my weight was was destined to stay around 200 pounds. Everyone makes excuses and tries to justify maintaining bad habits, even when they know deep down that they are hurting themselves. I blamed my poor habits on my job, stress, lack of sleep and basically everything else that I could think of.I have been riding the weight roller coaster my whole life. Food has always been a comfort to me in happy times as well as stressful times. I may do good for a while but always returned to my bad habits. This time I chose to take the classes in addition to the workouts. Wow, did it make a difference. My knowledge of the "reasons why" has transformed me into a new person. I feel better, sleep better and handle stress better from the tools learned from the coaches and Robby's lectures. I now feel that changing my lifestyle is a permanent solution to many old problems. I did not realize that I had a gluten allergy, nor did I ever think that my psoriasis (lifelong problem) would be changed simply by following the Paleo lifestyle. I would encourage anyone to take the class and give maximum effort during the 90 days. It will change your life.[/text_output][/container][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][container][promo image="9639"]Before[/promo][/container][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][promo image="9625"]After[/promo][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][container][promo image="9646"]Before[/promo][/container][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][promo image="9627"]After[/promo][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][container][text_output][blockquote cite="Dawn" type="right"] My knowledge of the "reasons why" has transformed me into a new person.
