Meet Husband and Wife CRUSHers, Robbie and Athena.<\/h1>\n

My name is Athena, and I am 52.\u00a0 My husband\u2019s name is Robbie, and he is 48.\u00a0 We have one grown son serving in the US Navy and one son still at home finishing up high school.\u00a0 I am the accounting and payroll officer for a local non-profit in Daytona Beach and my husband is a field supervisor for a local HVAC company. \u00a0 We love spending time in our home but also enjoy a nice family vacation or two throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

My weight was never a problem as a young person.\u00a0 However, when I was 26, I quit smoking and the weight began creeping on.<\/strong>\u00a0 A couple of years later, I met my soul mate and we got married.\u00a0 We found that we had the love of food in common. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yummy candy and desserts were must-haves on our menu.\u00a0<\/strong> Soda was a normal item in our house as well.\u00a0 We ate out anytime we had the chance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, we passed this love of unhealthy eating and bad habits to our children<\/strong>.\u00a0 With that said, the years passed by, and the weight kept increasing. I lost my weight a couple of times through another program, but never kept it off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I began following Rachel and CleanFoodCrush in August of ’22.\u00a0 Facebook would recommend the CFC Challenge<\/a> all the time and finally, I became curious and checked it out.\u00a0 After a little research, I took the plunge and paid for the BOGO<\/a>.\u00a0 I told my husband what I had done and informed him he was joining me. \u00a0 Surprisingly, he was all in. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward to August 2022, when we began the Clean Eating Challenge<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 We committed to the bogo of 60 days, however we have tracked results weekly.\u00a0 This weekend completes our first 30-Day Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 Our favorite recipes so far are the feta burgers and the sweet and spicy chicken.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I have lost 8 lbs. and 5.5 inches.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Robbie has lost 15 lbs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He did not measure but the pictures show that he has shrunk significantly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f We both feel better in our clothes and are committed to making this a lifestyle\u2026 not a diet.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are both ready to begin walking again as a form of exercise and I would like to take a yoga class.\u00a0 We both recently began learning about spinal hygiene and are being adjusted regularly.\u00a0 <\/span>Our doctors encourage us to continue the journey we are on with CFC because they believe in being healthy by natural resources whenever possible.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The 30-Day Challenge<\/a> has us spending more time together.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are planning, shopping, prepping, and cooking together more than we ever have.\u00a0 We love trying the new recipes and incorporating them into our menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

When sharing with our friends about this program, we tell them that you will never feel hungry on this plan.<\/strong>\u00a0 My husband shared with our MD that we are doing this plan and he was able to tell her with confidence that we can and will continue this as a new and improved lifestyle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We both made some mistakes while following the Challenge Plan<\/a>.<\/strong> For example, I was eating more fruit than I should have during week two, but because I was staying faithful to ask questions and read through the FB postings in our group, I learned and corrected.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

It did not hinder my successes<\/strong>.\u00a0 My husband didn\u2019t want to measure his food but had to learn that measuring is very important as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

We are very excited about the journey ahead and how it will help us to sustain good health.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Thinking about the Challenge? Here’s my advice…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Rely heavily on the help provided in the Challenge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0fForgive yourself if you make mistakes on the journey.\u00a0 It’s a learning experience every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Planning is key. \u00a0 If you don’t have a plan, it’s easy to make unhealthy choices.<\/strong><\/p>\n
