Happy Monday! As you’re reading this, I’m sweating my butt off at my very first Crossfit workout. I have wanted to join a box for so, so long, but it never seemed like a good time, and then there was this 6-week challenge.
So. For the next 6 weeks, I’ll be working out at U Can Crossfit Too (if you’re local, come join me!!) 3 days a week, keeping my cardio at the YMCA (because my body needs to burn lots of fat), and upping my roller derby game.
This should be interesting. Or a train wreck…but not like the movie. I’ll be updating my workouts and food to reflect the move back to strict paleo (HELLO Whole30!). And we’ll see how my body changes. It should. I hope.
For those of you who are new to my working out updates, I am following The Trim Healthy Mama Plan in addition to using select supplements, which is why you’ll see letters in parenthesis behind my meals.
Monday

Hey Brea,
I’m a fellow THMer and I saw in previous post that you supplement with LeVel. I am curious about your experience and do you still use LeVel Thrive?
Hey, Amanda! I have been using it, though not as regularly as I was. I had some adrenal fatigue issues that I had to get sorted out, but I did love it when I was on it! You can read about my experience with Thrive here: https://breagettingfit.com/2016/02/09/one-week-using-thrive-dft-le-vel/
Yes, I read that blog post. I was just hoping for long term feedback of using Thrive and THM together. I’ve been eating THM style for a long time and love it, but am starting feel like I need to add some supplements and LeVel Thrive sparks my interest. Any advice? Thoughts?
I would LOVE to “sit down” with you and do a discovery call so that I can trouble shoot your specific issues, Amanda!! You can book the free discovery call here: https://breagettingfit.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?appointmentType=506392
I can’t wait to chat with you!
