I don’t know to this day what made me decide to lose weight, but in July 2008, I decided I was tired of looking and feeling like a heifer. I was obese, diabetic with high blood pressure and probably well on my way to a shorter life span. I’ve been overweight all my life and blamed much of it on genes and the fact that I loved food and didn’t want to compromise that “love” by dieting. One of my closest friends said to me one day, “I’d rather eat what I want and be happy than diet and be miserable.” I knew what she was saying because for years, I was saying the same thing. I can’t believe how foolish I was and how sad I am now- considering how much time I wasted with such a deluded sense of happiness.

Needless to say, when I go after something – I really go after it. After 6 months, I dropped 70 pounds. Yes, I lost weight, but I also lost a lot of muscle. This has been been a long but incredible journey. I joined ClubSport (yes, a globo-gym) and started exercising, but after 1 year, it just got a little boring. I wanted something more but didn’t exactly know what that “more” was until I found CrossFit.

Being introduced to this level of fitness has been an eye-opener. I never knew working out could be so much “fun” and in done in such a short amount of time but achieving even better results than running for 1 hour! It’s challenging, it’s hard and it makes me feel like a weakling, but I’ve never had fitness goals really, until now.

I just wanted to say thank you – especially to Travis, who’s been incredible and does not know how grateful I actually am for his patience and encouragement. The people I do WOD’s with who just give me the drive to push myself…it’s quite the atmosphere in your gym. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it thus far and look forward to finally being able to Rx something someday!!
