ATHLETE INFORMATION
How I Eat
I eat quality foods but don't measure the amount
Eating is my biggest struggle... Portion control. It seems the cleaner I go...the better I do obviously but...the point is, one cheat meal leads to 10 cheat meals...however if I go clean...I am able to stay clean for a longer period of time. I am still trying to grasp my brain around why this is. One cookie just doesn't work for me. Gotta be no cookies bitches..or I fall apart.
How I Train
I workout mostly at a CrossFit Affiliate
I have a coach who determines my programming
I love Oceanside CrossFit and follow the daily programming in the box.
My Athletic Background
I have no athletic background besides CrossFit
My Experience With CrossFit
I began CrossFit with a coach (e.g. at an affiliate)
My Work/Rest Schedule
I usually only do 1 workout a day
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
