If you’re like me, you end up talking about paleo a lot. People ask you why you eat weird, or you love it so much you take any opportunity to blab to your friends about it. I’ve blabbed to many friends and family, but only two friends have ever taken me up on the challenge.
Meet Paco and Eva before paleo.
They are friends from Florida, and over visits we would have conversations about paleo, dieting, and eating in general. They have always been conscious eaters, but held onto what was good and comforting. Pasta, bread, etc. After my last visit in May 2009, to my surprise and excitement, they jumped head first into paleo eating. Four months later and they have had amazing results!
Paco has lost 40 pounds! Eva, although slow at first, also lost weight and several clothes sizes. Like Lael and her “Laeleo”, they still have some dairy in their diet, but have made huge shifts in their lifestyle! They are making it work for them. Eva even called me for thoughts on a paleo cake for Paco’s birthday. (Happy Birthday Paco!) These changes are mostly due to their dietary changes. They have increased their exercising and activity level, but are not crossfitters (though I’m working on that, too). But that’s ok! They run and jog and get out there and do things, which is great. Paco and Eva are examples of the power of diet. You don’t have to be crossfitting every day like a crazy person to see the changes you want to make.
Eva’s only downside to paleo? They need a whole new wardrobe! Congrats to Paco and Eva and your awesome work, I am so proud!
Steve, to his complete surprise, whipped over the rings last night and got his first, second, and third muscle ups. Steve’s been hitting CrossFit for a while and the muscle up has eluded him until now. tThis was a very sweet accomplishment and Congrats Steve!
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Gary just joined and it was his first class. Why not start off with a muscle up? Gary, you are going to be a CrossFit machine soon enough!
Watch out for more first muscle ups to come by the end of the week!
Awesome job On Rampers on your first “Dirty 30″ workout! Everything is starting to look better, moving smoother, and the speed is coming. Everybody’s overhead squats were dramatically different, improved hip movement and much more control of the bar. Keep it up and the challenges only get more interesting from here 
Paco and Eva, that is an incredibly inspiring transformation! Keep it up and we want to hear how you are doing
Paco and Eva, congratulations! It is so awesome to see transformations like this! You guys look like completely different people! You are an inspiration!
CONGRATS Steve! I guess CrossFit works!
That was cool to witness Steve. Nice work!!
Way to go, Steve!
Steve, thats totally awesome! Way strong.
