2nd Place Finisher-Laura Ruff

Congratulations to Laura the 2^nd Place finisher in the Paleo/Fitness Challenge.  This was a big step in the right direction for Laura.  A long time CrossFitter, she has repeatedly struggled with getting her diet in line.  With support from her coaches, and more importantly, the entire CFBN family, she finally found the resolve to stay strict for the whole 7 weeks.  Having always excelled at pushing herself to the limits during WoD’s, Laura was able to redirect that tenacity to her eating.  Laura lives outside of Flanagan, works in Roanoke, and exercises at CFBN, so much of her life is spent on the road.  This required her to pre-make large amounts of food and always have meals prepared for her when she hits the road.  While her co-workers ate pizza and bagels, she would have her lean meats, fruits and veggies, healthy fats, and fish oils.  Kudos to you, Laura!!  We look forward to giving you all an update in a few months so you can see all the progress she’s continued to make.
