| Introduction | Hey, y'all! My name is Lauren. At age 28, my world changed completely and I had to learn to take charge of my own life again. I moved from Virginia to Charlotte on my own in early 2013 for a job promotion, after nearly five years of marriage. Fast forward to 2014 (and age 29), and I'm fully immersed in the community of CrossFit and continuing to watch my life change positively day by day thanks to the people I've met over the past year and the steady improvements I've noticed in my body and attitude. I started this blog to help keep myself accountable and create an encouraging place for people who are afraid to change. I was you! I was terrified of CrossFit…and am still a little terrified of eating Paleo. But I'll overcome that fear soon enough. What's a girl to eat without cheese and peanut butter?! "If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed." -David Viscott "Success doesn't happen overnight. Keep your eye on the prize and don't look back." -Erin Andrews |
