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

"Kelly"

5 rounds for time:

400m run
30 box jumps 20"
30 wall balls 16lb

69:40

This was by far the most difficult workout that I have done so far.  This is really three workouts in one.  This was 69 minutes of metabolic hell!  Running and wall balls together is just not cool.  One good thing about this was that I was able to do it with my brother Michael and he really helped to keep me going and not give up.  He could have had a better time but he hung back and helped me through it.  I hope that I do not have to do this one again for a very long time.  I really hate that fact that it took me as long to do it as it did.  I thought that with three days of rest I would be ready for anything, not so much!  This workout really focused on my weaknesses, running and wall balls.  But I guess that you never get better at anything without repetition!  There is one thing that I am proud of, I increased the weight of the wall ball by four pounds.
