I'm going to come out of my comfort zone tonight. After several conversations with several different people I've decided to admit that I am starting to see changes in myself. March 1st I started doing CrossFit. I started out 3 days and a week for the first month and then decided to jump in with both feet after that and now go 5-6 days a week. Yes, I really do miss ...a day here and there Lately, I've had several people mention they can tell I've lost weight and ask how much. Admittedly, that is so hard for me to hear. Yes, I appreciate the compliments and it's nice to hear. I went in with the goal of losing weight and now just want to be healthy so I can achieve all my dreams and goals. So why is this so hard to hear? Well, as some of my friends know who have struggled this same journey we all know we get so far and lose some weight and inches and then something happens whether we get bored or what and it all stops. For me, it's always been around the 3 month mark. Guess what? I'm in month 4! I'm still enjoying it even tho I do a lot of complaining and fussing (all in fun) because the workouts are hard they are completely worth it. I've met some of the most awesome people and we really are there to support one another. So what have I accomplished in 4 months? I've lost 26lbs. and not sure on the inches but thinking around 8 inches overall (got a late start in keeping up with measurements).
So when you're faced with wanting to do something think about the long term goal and if its what you really want then go for it and don't let the fear of the unknown stop you. I'm so grateful I was encouraged to walk thru those CrossFit doors. And I can't wait to see what the next 4 months bring and then who knows what 2014 will be like but I'm planning on staying on this track of getting healthy and improving on those workouts. Some of my goals are to keep up with the other folks when it comes to running and surprise myself and the coaches by accomplishing doing those freakin' squats correctly! And if I ever learn to use my hips and shoulders in those lifts I might could kick some butt with those lifts And YES I will accomplish overcoming my fear of heights or as my coaches say my fear of falling and WILL BE going Ziplining next year!!! Come with me next year and I'll prove it!
