Introduction

I was first introduced to CrossFit by my good friend and co-worker Sherri.  She told me about this great workout program she had just started and how much she really liked it and she thought that I would also really like it.  Sherri introduced me to Jens Lovell who is also a co-worker of ours and a certified CrossFit trainer and owner of CrossFit St. George.  They both encouraged me to go that day and workout with them.  That was February 7, 2009 and I have not looked back since.  After getting my butt kicked that day on a workout called "The Baseline" I knew I was hooked.  CrossFit workouts are challenging, difficult, and sometimes vomit inducing but above all that they are fun and each time they leave you with a huge sense of accomplishment.  I know now that CrossFit is not just a workout, its a way of life and now its my way of life.  So follow along with me as I change my life for the better, as I become a stronger, healthier me.  I will blog about the workouts that I do each day and also my successes and failures.  

My CrossFit Goals

1. Lose 60 pounds, and or get down to 20-22% body fat.
2. Compete in the 2010 CrossFit games.

4. Introduce my family and friends to the CrossFit lifestyle.

W.O.D. 3/16/09

7 rds for time

10 Sumo Dead Lift High Pull-4 rds 70lbs/3 rds 50 lbs

10 Ring Dips (assisted)

21:12:56

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I started out with the 70 pound kettle bell and after 4 rounds I had to drop down to the 50 pound kettle bell because Jens thought that I was not able to move through the round fast enough and keep my heart rate up in the anaerobic state. I do not have the upper body strength yet to do the ring dips unassisted, so I had my feet planted out in front of me and used my legs for support but did most of the work with my arms. I felt good about this workout and in the last round I was able to push though and do all ten reps without stopping. I would never be able to push myself like this without my amazing trainer Jens there to motivate me. I am very lucky and I know that I will be able achieve so much more because of him.
