Trying Something New

With not one, but two competitions coming up I thought I would step up my game in my pre and post supplements.

I made my first ATP Mechanix purchase and cannot wait to see some results! 

ATP worked together with some of Crossfit Inferno's athletes to develop a better line of nutritional supplements geared towards Crossfitters with their main goal to optimize athletic performance in an all natural way. 

Many of the current performance enhancing products boost energy artificially, pushing a single higher level performance. In order to accomplish this result, the products/supplements use harsh stimulants to force the body into higher output. Potentially, this causes your body to increase the release of adrenal hormones as it engages in the fight or flight response which taxes your nervous system and depletes your body's natural vitality. 

After analyzing the athletes before, during, and after each workout session ATP developed a product line to boost both immediate performance needs, and to support the body as a whole. All while keeping their products clean and in the purest form that would not include sugars or artificial flavors. YES! It's Paleo friendly! :)

In the coming weeks I will report back how my performance, and recovery has been :)

Thanks for reading! 

Xoxo!

Uh.. I should do this more often!

Ok I'm HORRIBLE!

I decided awhile back.. Oh I'm going to start a BLOG!

Then what do you know...... I make one post.

FAIL!

Alright so I'm here to say, I'm back and WILL make a point to write. It might not be everyday, but at least ONCE a week. 

The thing I wanted to write about today is how amazing it is when I have people message/email/text me asking me about Crossfit, my eating lifestyle and tell me how inspiring I am! Hearing that makes me beyond the happiest person in the world! I LOVE inspiring others and motivating others to achieve levels of fitness that they've never been to! Don't hesitate to ask, and don't feel silly! The only silly question is one that is not asked, I think. If I don't know the answer, I will certainly find out for you! :)

Since I've last posted I had my first Crossfit competition which I placed 15th, and I have two more coming up: Crossfit Inferno's Beach Bash and Battle of the Boxes (my first team comp)! I'm super excited and have been training even harder!

Currently I started yet another paleo challenge: Lurong Living Paleo Challenge. I'm finishing up week two and feeling GREAT! I've also been taking the Lurong Living Essentials. I haven't felt any different yet, but I have heard it takes 3-4 weeks to notice a difference. 

For those that stuck around and read this.. THANK YOU! :) :)

First post

Here it is my first blog post....

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! :)
