My credentials: CrossFit Level 1 Coach, Nutrition Certified
My name is Patty “Cookie” Ruiz. I am a 42 year old single mother to 3 beautiful girls. I have worked in the court system for over 15 years, and lived in San Diego my whole life.
Like most of you, when I became a mother, making myself or my health a priority was NOT an option. I jogged a little here and there, but until I was 40, i was pretty darn sedentary for about 15 years!!! I began to exercise as a productive means to pass the time when my kids were away from me. I loved the way I looked and felt. When I found CrossFit I became addicted to the challenge it provides me. If I wanted to be the role model of what a strong woman is for my girls, then I needed to be strong inside and out. It became a gateway to so many wonderful things in my life, from nutrition to finding my boyfriend and mentor, to having a global family of the most positive people you will ever meet 
Nutrition…. I’ve been a 92lb anorexic, and I have been a 197 lb gal all while seeking the magic pill, counting points, starving myself, eating bananas and milk on certain days of the week or some crappy cabbage soup. I can guarantee you that none of those things made me feel like Paleo does and nothing has had the lasting effects. My strength and energy are through the roof!!! I went to a nutrition seminar thinking it was all over my head, but I left there totally committed. Robb Wolf assured me that if I stuck to Paleo for 30 days, I’d get my first pull up. Well, not only did i get my first pull up, but i lost 14 lbs eating tons of quality food. I was SOLD.
