Spotlight On...Jenny Spencer!

Today's "Spotlight On..." is Jenny Spencer

1. What nutrition path are you following for the Challenge? Prior to the Challenge, what (if any) path were you following?

Before the challenge I was just focusing on making baby-step changes in my diet.  I wasn't really following a certain path, I just was trying to make changes I could stick with...forever.  For the challenge I am following the Zone, or as I like to think, I am having balanced meals. 

2. What is/are your goal(s) to have met by the end of this Challenge?

Honestly, my goal by the end of this challenge is not to eat any different, to continue what I had been doing during the challenge.  I really am using this as a life changing opportunity.  Of course I want to lose weight and shock the DexaScan Tech (man was that a sad day) but my goal is to be healthy.

3. Are you allowing yourself the cheat meal/hours each week? If you are, what is your favorite cheat? If you aren't, why not?

I have used my cheat hours for the past two weeks but I don't think I am going to from now on.  I'm finding I don't feel good after the cheat meals, mentally and physically.  The first cheat hours were used for tacos and chocolate cake.  The next one was used for pizza and ice cream.  No rhyme or reason, more just because there were special events.

4. What one tip would you like to offer to other Challenge participants to help them stay on track with their nutrition path?

Plan, plan, and plan!  Then prep, prep, and prep!  And until you have the will power, just stay away from tempting situations.

5. How did you learn about CrossFit in the first place?

My addiction to CrossFit started from Recruiter Carrie!  Love you for it Carrie!
