I’ve tried training for races, I’ve tried raw food diets, I’ve tried juice fasts and club swim teams. Nothing has lasted… but nothing started as exciting and full-forced as this one. Crossfit. I’m two weeks in… and two weeks strong. I love it. I look forward to every workout. It is my top priority everyday to get to the box downtown. (Except rest days :) ). I’m in… and I’m completely addicted. I really think this is it. I told Tommy the other day “I’m doing this for the rest of my life.” I love it.

Thus… this month’s self portrait:

You should join, too! If you do, be sure to let me know in the comments as I would love to read what you write about.

This week, I am grateful for Crossfit!

I started it this week. And I LOVE it!

A little background: I signed up to participate in the local angel’s race sprint triathlon on May 1st (ahhh!) and that wasn’t even enough to get me back to the gym. I knew I needed to start a strength-training routine as soon as possible. So, when I heard about crossfit and saw the kind of results my friends were having with it, I started researching online. Strength training, cardio training, accountability, short workouts, a challenge, and a routine? All in one? Amazing!

And amazing it has been! (Well, so far.)

For the first time in a long time, I am excited and motivated to be active. I may have had trouble walking up and down stairs over the weekend… and I may not be able to currently lock my elbows (tiiiight muscles!)… but I know this is just the beginning.

Already just the first few days have been fun, encouraging, and soooo motivating. I am excited to see where the next few months with Crossfit will take me: physically, mentally, emotionally.

So pumped!

What are you grateful for this week?
