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.
3. Become a certified CrossFit trainer.
4. Introduce my family and friends to the CrossFit lifestyle.

W.O.D. 3/23/09

"Fran"

For time:

21 65lbs Thrusters
21 Jumping Pull ups

15 65lbs Thrusters
15 Jumping Pull ups

9 65lbs Thrusters
9 Jumping Pull ups

14:32

This workout was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. It still amazes me that lifting some weight over head and doing pull ups is so strenuous on my heart and lungs. But I guess that I shouldn't be shocked, every workout does that to me. I am a little disappointed that it took me as long as it did to finish this one. I would have liked to have had it done in about ten minutes but this is my first time doing this workout and so now I have something to compare my next time to. I can say that a couple of weeks ago there would have been no way that I could have lifted 65lbs overhead that many times. Next time "Fran" comes around I'll be ready for her!
