If you ask Ai Lawless and Courtney Grant, the support of a Paleo Mate is like having a secret weapon in your back pocket… you simply can not fail, with the help of a good friend by your side.
Coach Conlin’s Paleo Quest has given Ai and Courtney more than a better night’s sleep, nicer skin, and tighter abs… they each have a new best friend! A meat eating, EWodding, pull-up seeking bestie!
Just ask Ai’s husband Greg, who says the girls are, “two peas in a pod.” (Side note: he also says he is, “…married to a CFL/Facebook addicted, Paleo junkie”.)
Courtney and Ai have gone above and beyond just, “checking in” on each other’s Paleo success. Caveman inspired field trips, weekly dinners, the Crossfit Games, and cocktails (not necessarily in that order) are also crucial to the success of this Paleo Pair. They also had a Pre-Challenge photo shoot that involved only bikinis, rain boots, and a smile. Unfortunately, the girls insist the pictures are for their eyes only (let’s not forget Courtney is a cop and will shoot us).
Both women admit that though Paleo is a challenge, they don’t “hate” it. Courtney struggles with willpower (she is missing pizza, cheeseburgers, and candy), while Ai finds quantity to be an issue.
Teeny, tiny Ai says she eats like, “An overweight truck driver,” and misses her dark beer and pasta; but makes a mean almond butter and prunes Paleo candy bar (which Courtney kindly refuses to eat).
The girls call each other before cheating (they text all day, everyday anyway), and refer to “Cheat Days,” as “Live Your Life,” days; knowing that the Paleo Quest is just that… a quest. Some days are bound to be harder than others, and for these two, being together makes the challenge that much more fun.
If you and your Paleo Mate are struggling with temptation, or lack of motivation, reach out to Ai and Courtney, their enthusiasm is infectious and they can help you find your way!
