As most of you know I AM CrossFit is in full swing. We will be periodically spotlighting the athletes who are participating in the challenge! One of the best success stories comes from Laurie Thornton who has come a long way in a short period of time. Laurie started in our EGH Boot Camp program and had decided to take things to the next level by joining the gym in October of 2009. As an I AM CrossFit challenge participant she has seen a significant increase in her performance due to better nutrition. Below are some quotes from Laurie regarding the changes she has noticed in herself:
"Since the CrossFit Challenge started three weeks ago, I've been dedicated to my goal of fitting into a size 4 jeans! Never in my dreams have I ever been in a size 4! I can get into a size 6 pretty comfortably, but haven't bought any to date."
"I've tried to be very diligent about cutting more grains out of my diet, not that I was eating that many to begin with. I'll be grazing on the lawn before long!"
"In general, I feel like I've come a long way and I really love the way I look! But I want to look better yet at 46!"
To all of you athletes at CrossFit and the participants in the I AM CrossFit Challenge: Stay Strong, Stay Focused, Stay Committed
