3. How did you find out about WOFB?
I started my WOFB journey on January 9th, 2018. I found out about you guys through yelp/google when I was looking to join a CrossFit type group. I was in a desperate state to find something that motivated me enough to want to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. I knew I needed a team like atmosphere to get me going because honestly, I needed to be held accountable otherwise I just wouldn’t push myself and stay consistent.
4. What is your background in sports/exercise?
Growing up I was always involved in sports. One sport in particular being volleyball. To say I have a passion for the sport is an understatement. I started playing volleyball at a young age, playing year round in volleyball clubs and throughout high school. I ended up playing at a Community College in Oregon and began training as a collegiate athlete which brought me a love for weight training. We would train five days a week on the court scrimmaging and then hit the weight room. I loved it!! That being said, sports and fitness have always played a pivotal role in my life. Fast forward to becoming a mother of 2 and trying to reestablish a fitness regimen, the team atmosphere and motivation at WOFB has helped me find that same passion for fitness I once did and reach fitness milestones I never thought I would have otherwise.
5. Favorite exercise: Weight training (squats, deadlifts)
6. Least favorite exercise: Running
7. What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and overall fitness since starting WOFB?
One HUGE change I’ve seen in myself since starting WOFB is my mentality. I am happier, I feel good, I have more energy to keep up with my kids, my whole outlook on life is different. It’s crazy. I have delt with depression and anxiety in my life so to feel like ME again is just amazing. Along with mentality comes my physical changes. I’ve lost weight, noticed my body has become more defined and toned. I see it in my clothing, going down a few sizes. I still have a long way to go but I feel stronger everyday!!
Jessica, we couldn’t be happier to award you Student of the Month! You are outstanding – as a team player and in your performance. Your hard work is exemplary and it’s definitely paying off!! Keep up this momentum!!! HUGE CONGRATS from your WOFB family!
Do you think you might be consuming too much sugar?
Sugar is delicious, there’s no debate about that. And of course, allowing yourself a sugary treat every now and then is almost necessary to keep your sanity. However, if you can constantly remind yourself of the dangers and side effects of the sweet stuff, you can keep your consumption of it in check.
I found this article on a fitness blog and thought it was worth sharing.

Have a great night!

These days, the term ‘hack’ is being used to describe a ‘quicker, easier and more effective method for achieving a goal’.
That being said, today’s theme is MEAL HACKS, a.k.a. fat loss hacks…how to find more effective meal options (or replacements) to aid in losing fat & achieving a healthier lifestyle.
This simple hack will save you hundreds of calories per meal and will leave you no less satisfied. You can even add your favorite spices and flavor additions as you do with traditional rice.
Check it out for yourself:
You can make cauliflower rice yourself or you can now buy it in the frozen aisle of your favorite supermarket. Here’s a photo tutorial if you want to try doing it yourself:

There are many ways to create and enjoy noodles made from vegetables, rather than noodles made from grains. Pasta has its benefits but on a day to day basis, when trying to lose fat, it can be dangerous! It is very high in calories –
Use a spiral slicer to turn zucchini or butternut squash into noodles; bake a spaghetti squash and scrape out those nature-made noodles; or simply use a traditional veggie peeler to create long noodle strips from zucchini.
Here’s another helpful link to several different ways you can make zucchini pasta:

By simply replacing your sliced bread and buns for large pieces of lettuce, you’ll quickly eliminate a couple hundred calories from each meal. Once you get used to the crunch of the lettuce you’ll enjoy your new style of sandwich and burger even more than the traditional way!
This one is a no-brainer!
So many weigh/fat loss goals are left in the distance because of empty calories that people are not even aware of…from sugary “fruit” juices to calorie-packed coffee beverages. Check your numbers!! Better yet, replace all beverages with water! This simple hack could change your life.
If you find water to be boring, infuse it with some fruit, or throw in some lemon/lime slices. As with everything, in time, you will ask yourself how you used to drink all your calories!
Have a great week!
WOFB TEAM
