Gotta liven you guys up a bit. The blogs comment section has been empty for the past couple of days. Where you at guys/gals? I thought that this photo of our very own Jen Muir might do it for ya. Jen has worked really hard for the past two months both in the gym and with her fueling. She was one of the few that was able to remain paleo the entire time and it shows. Awesome job Jen. Please tell us how you feel? After all you must have starved yourself right? And I bet you cant wait to start eating pasta, bread, rice, potatoes again right? 
Also I would be curious as to how come you didnt “bulk” up after four months of CrossFitting? You didnt lift heavy weights did you?!
“Thanks guys. Seeing this post and all your support made my day. I love our community so much and I know I wouldn’t have had the tools or the confidence to do a lot of these workouts or change my eating without you guys.
I am proud that all of us girls are lifting heavy weight and looking leaner and moving faster every day. Eating Paleo definitely put my progress in overdrive. My clothes don’t fit anymore and my skin isn’t oily anymore. And I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. About two months ago, my max deadlift was 180. Two weeks ago, I lifted 200# twice.
Eating this way makes me feel better, too: No more food comas or afternoon cravings for chocolate. And trust me, I’ve been eating plenty… So to answer your question, you won’t find bread or pasta in my house anytime soon!
Anyway, thanks again guys. You’re the best…”
Im sorry I have been so late with getting the after photos up but I promise there are others that are gonna shock ya.

I have been missing you guys and gals all week. My body was telling me to rest and as hard as it was to not go in I listened. Helen is one of my favorite workouts. I will be back full time next week, rested and ready. Bring it!!!

I have always thought you were beautiful, now you are hard body too! You have an amazing heart and unmatched dedication. I am so proud of you, Jen! Keep up the good work!
Jen:
You look WONDERFUL & AMAZING! I am so happy for you. It’s ladies like yourself that help motivate us all.
You’ve come SO far and it truly shows.
Now go get yourself a sexy little Halloween costume to show off your HOT new bod.
XOXO,

Wow Jen, that’s some awesome progress!
I’d try that Paleo diet, but it seems soooo tough.
