I have one word to describe CrossFit Jaguar : “RESULTS”.  I was introduced to CrossFit Jaguar at a Fight for Air (stair climb) training clinic.  At the time, I was not completely satisfied with my progress. So Paula Jager, this sweet petite woman with a drill sergeant attitude, put me to the challenge.

The Primal Feasting Challenge/Diet was most likely my final attempt at getting that body I have always wanted. After years of running and incorporating various types of strength training for the 6-8 months prior to the challenge, I was never able to lose my beer gut. Almost instantly the weight started to drop. Six or so pounds that first week.

I started the Look Good Naked challenge about a week after I joined Crossfit Jaguar.  Prior to the challenge, I really had no focus on fitness or my dieting.  In other words, I was overweight and out of shape.  I would routinely overly indulge in multiple cocktails. 

My journey here at Crossfit Jaguar has been phenomenal! It has TRULY changed my life for the better. When I first started, I knew nothing about proper nutrition. I followed mainstream America’s version of “healthy” eating.

What Has 8 Weeks of Primal Feasting Meant to Me?  I’ve always known that I am a sugar-addict…a 100%, true-blue, bona fide sugar-addict.  It was not uncommon for me to get a “fix” with some sort of sugar-laden treat daily (sometimes even multiple times daily…cake, cookies, brownies, cobbler, ice cream, you name it, I ate it!).  As a dietitian, I knew that my decision to indulge so frequently was unnecessary, unhealthy and irresponsible; even still, I was NEVER inclined to make any changes.

On Sept. 17, 2009 I entered Paula & Mike’s world (at the urging of Paula’s husband at achurch) as a 51 year old 280 lbs out of shape preacher whose daughter cried at her 20th birthday party that she was afraid I would die of a heart attack.

When I started the contest, I knew I was overweight and my diet was horrible.  But I never knew just how bad it was.  Just looking at my before and after photos explains everything

I joined cross fit because my neighbor’s have been going and had gotten great result. I have been working out but just couldn’t get over the hump. So I decided to take the 8 week fitness challenge and the results have been amazing thanks Paula!

It has been amazing how easily the weight has dropped off.  I’m actually starting to get a waist line back.  Others are frequently commenting on how great I look and asking

how I’ve done it.
