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...)

Workout of The Day

Five Rounds:

250m Row
5-185lb Dead Lift

20:10

This was a killer workout.  The 185lb Dead Lift is about 70% of my max lift which is 265lb.  This workout took a big toll on my endurance at the end, and because of it my form suffered and because of that so did my back!  This just reinforced how important good form is compared to how much you can lift.   One of my biggest issues is wanting to do more than I am ready for.  I want to beat the boys! But I am starting to understand that this takes time and that one day I will be where I want to be physically because I am doing everything the proper way.  Jens tells me that I am too hard on myself and that I need to be proud of what I accomplish during each workout, I guess he's right...whatever :)  Tomorrow is another day!
