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.

Wow this workout was CRAZY! I don't think that I have ever sweat so much in my life. This workout sounds a little harder than I think it is. I like this workout way more than a few others that come to mind (Kelly, Karen). It was really difficult to go from pull ups to push up because your arms don't want to work anymore! I was really happy with myself after this workout because I told myself that I wanted to get it done under 40 minutes and I did. I was also really excited that I was able to get through the pull ups as fast as I did. Jens thinks that they were too easy for me, so now I have use a smaller resistance band. Heaven forbid anything in CrossFit be too easy or easy at all! Oh well, I guess its a good thing, whatever....
