And the winners are….
Brrrrummmm (that’s a drum sound)
Melanie Philips and Gabriel Caissie!
Melanie, always walking through the door with a grin on her face, and eager to improve, showed discipline by only succumbing to her craving on seven occasions. She managed to shave off 7 seconds from her 1km row, while adding 55 reps to her Intro workout. She also packed on 30 pounds to her CrossFit Total.
Gabriel, being new to the gym, was expected to show improvement, but no one expected this much. He took 4 seconds off his rowing time, increased his Intro workout by 70 reps and launched his CrossFit Total by 270 pounds! Even more impressive is that he didn’t have any cheats other than the delegated cheat meals per week.
Both Mel and Gabriel win a month membership at CrossFit Moncton for their outstanding performances.
Also, congrats to everyone who took the Challenge. It was not called “Paleo Walk-in-the-Park”. It was tough, so to those that stuck it out to the end, congratulations. I hope you all continue eating healthy and share your knowledge and experience with your friends and family.

Way to go challengers. Taking part in this was a huge accomplishment. Excellent work Gabriel and Mel. 🙂
Congrats Mel and Gabriel.
Great work to all the challengers! That sure is a difficult thing to go through – your body screams for the food that you’ve been eating your whole life, and it messes with your mind and willpower – so great job for sticking with it.

Thanks everyone! I want to congratulate everyone who did the diet, changing years of eating habits is really hard. Hopefully everyone has formed some new healthier habits over the last 7 weeks. I’ll tell you a secret though, I had a chocolate chip cookie for the first time in 7 weeks today…and it was FANTASTIC! 🙂 That’s going to have to be a once in a time treat.
