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.

"Nicole"

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

400m Run
Max Pull Ups

10/9/8/8 plus a 400m run

This was my first time doing this workout and it was hard. I think that if I was a better runner, I could have gotten in at least six rounds. I used a band to assist me with the pull ups and I was surprised at how many I was able to pump out. When we first started doing pull ups I had to use a thicker band than I used today and I could not have done nearly the amount of pull ups that I did today. I am still so impressed at the huge amount of physical progress I am making every week. In less than a month I am able to do more pull ups with less assistance, its crazy. I can't wait until I can do that many pull ups unassisted!
