My name is Shannon and I’m 32! I started CrossFit September 2020. I came into the 101 class completely raw. Never had worked out, didn’t play sports in school. Had no idea what a single one of the movements were. A friend of mine who’d been doing CrossFit for years recommended it and on a very bit whim said yes! I remember being fully winded doing the 101 warm ups and was convinced after my second class I had no business being there. But the coaches were so supportive and something stubborn in me wanted to hang in there. I did a month and a half of 101 classes and transitioned into the regular daily WOD classes. There was a steep learning curve for me - I went from 0 to 3-4 days a week, which quickly turned to 5-6. I received a PCOS diagnoses in March of 2021 and learned about the ways my hormones were also playing a role in my body composition. After making every diet mistake (please trust your friends and coaches when they say you can’t out-train a bad diet!) I accepted my endocrinologists recommendations and switched to gluten free in late November 2021. When I started CrossFit I weighed 173lbs. Today I am 160lbs but my body is completely different. I’m learning to love strength and endurance instead of peeking rib cages and a small number on the scale.
