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.
    (Just to name a few...)

W.O.D.

10 rounds

5-60lb Squat Thrusters
100m sprint (200m sprint on the last round)


This workout wasn't timed, it just needed to be done quickly and accurately. I'm not sure why but I was feeling really tired today and my performance suffered. Jens wanted me to squat thrust 95lbs but I could barely get two done and had to drop the weight to 60lbs. It was pretty frustrating but I was just not feeling it today. I think my workout yesterday wiped me out and Jens was thinking that I may not have eaten enough today before the workout. Well tomorrow is a rest day and so I will come back roaring on Monday!
