"I joined CrossFitFTW in January 2010 and have been going 3 days a week consistently ever since.   All I can say about crossfit is I. LOVE. IT.  I have never found an exercise regimen that I enjoyed enough to keep going after I reached whatever goal I was working toward.  I've been "athletic" my whole life, playing multiple sports growing up, but focusing mainly on softball.  Since graduating from college, I haven't focused on fitness much, except when I was training for my wedding (read honeymoon) 5yrs ago.  I met my goal and I quit.  When I started crossfit, I had no set goal or deadline. There was no size, there was no event.  I wanted to feel healthy, and feel good in my own skin.  I can honestly say I've done this.  I haven't lost a significant amount of weight, and I still don't have the desire to go run a 5K, but I'm stronger than I've ever been. I can over head squat 115# 3 times, I can do double unders jumping rope, and I can very likely deadlift your boyfriend.  I have found a "sport" that celebrates my thunder thighs for what they are...pillars of strength and power!  I have a new found pride in my body that I have never had.  Sure there are still things about it that I would like to change, some achievable, some unachievable (due to genetic make up), but I know what my body is capable of.  I've lost inches.  I'm wearing smaller scrubs to work.  My jeans are comfortable.  I have back muscles like you wouldn't believe.  Don't get me wrong, I do have goals.  I'd like to lose about 5lbs more pounds.  I'd like to clean 150#.  I'd like to do more pull-ups un-assisted.  I'd like to back squat 200#.  I'd like to do infinite push-ups without having to put my knees down.   All of these things are achievable with a little practice, patience, and perseverance.   

I have also come to love the people of CrossFit FTW.  We've come to know, care for, and support each other.  I have made some new friends, one in particular that I know I will keep for a very long time.  This is huge, seeing as how I don't make friends. I just keep the ones I have.  My coaches are extremely knowledgeable and motivating without tearing you down or making you feel like you've failed.  D is constantly reminding me of my strengths...excellent body awareness and movement...my form is impeccable...my shoulder mobility is unparalleled. Thanks, D for making feel good about myself when Pete just lapped me...again.  :-)    

All in all, I am not like the bad asses you see at the CrossFit games or on the videos you may have watched on YouTube.  But I'm a bad ass for me, in my little world.

Things I've learned since I started CrossFit:
1.  A bad training day is better than no training day.
2.  Show up- don't quit
3.  you are your own limit
4.  don't be scared.  it will only slow you down.
5.  you will not die by pushing yourself to what you perceive is your limit...see number 3

I can truly see myself doing this for the rest of my life.  It really is a lifestyle that fits me perfectly.
