It has seriously taken me FOREVER to do this!
My thought process behind wanting to write a blog was to give insight/talk about what I enjoy doing with my life... Crossfit!
My husband had been trying to get me to do Crossfit for awhile and I just would not budge! I did not want to be "bulky" or have any muscle. To be honest, my brain was so warped by society that I thought women were only pretty or felt pretty if they were skinny.
After struggling with anxiety attacks to the point where I could not stay home alone (my husband is a firefighter so he's gone for 3 days and home for 4), my therapist suggested I start working out to relieve stress.
We started out with walking.... Well that got boring quick, and soon the desire to want to walk died off. I tried P90X, but soon fall off about 2 weeks in, bored with the fact I know what the workouts would be and I didn't want to do them.
FINALLY... I sought out Crossfit! Why the HELL did I wait so long?!
I met up with a Crossfit gym who were just starting up in Atascadero (Atascadero Crossfit), and thought I would give this crossfit thing a go!
Now I KNEW I was out of shape... But I didn't realize HOW out of shape I was!
After my first WOD as I'm gasping for air, and trying to fight back the urge to puke (I ate food 5 mins before I was going to workout... I do not recommend that!), I was HOOKED!
I signed up with Crossfit Inferno soon after and have yet to regret my decision.
After being with Inferno for... 3 weeks or less than that I signed up for my first 8 week Paleo Challenge! I started off weighing in at 145, and ended off close to 125!
I had never in my LIFE felt so amazing, yet felt so good about my body!
And yet..... This is only the beginning! :)
