A Day of Challenges

I think today is meant to be a day of challenges, both up and down.  Due to some family issues, I was having a conversation with my mother and Crossfit came up.  I think for the first time in I don't know how long my mother said she was proud of me when I told her I walked a 1 mile today (in comparison to her saying I was stupid for doing the 5K as she did last week) but then went on to say she was proud of me for doing that.  Yeah, my jaw dropped to the floor.  She did tell me not to overdo it but then she is mom - LOL! 

See, I really want someone to find a Crossfit for them and that is how I ended up telling her my "secret".  I had never really planned to tell her.  I think Crossfit would benefit this person and give them something physical to do and be able to see her accomplishments.  So, I've inquired with a local Crossfit to see if they have a program for her. 

Even as tough as the WOD's get and the challenges and all the pushing the trainers do I really do enjoy it.  Even though I was ready to tell one of the trainers the other day to go find a new hobby if he told me one more time to bend lower with the squats - LOL!  It almost slipped but I thought twice.  Not sure how he would have reacted to that statement but knowing me it will slip out at some point.  Just hope he takes it the right way - ;-)  But truth be told I need to be pushed and challenged as it motivates me even when I get frustrated.
