Since I was about seventeen, I have always worked out. I got married at 21 years of age and at 23, I had Brian. Fast forward . . . 20 years later and 25 pounds heavier than my current weight, I had reached a point of frustration. Even though I was always active doing jazzercise, aerobics, spinning, even training for marathons, it never got me to the shape I wanted to be at. I had never truly been fit. At the age of 42 I was ready. I doubted this process at first. I’m older and heavier then most at CrossFit but I give it my all. I love the group comradery and the accountability with my workouts. I get out what I put in. Once I embraced CrossFit, there was no way to slow me down. Now I can lift more and run faster than I ever thought I could, and it feels great. The most important changes I have made are inside. However, I still have to work on mentally being strong. I know I can do most moves but my mind can talk me out of it. I know I can depend on my body to do all kinds of amazing things. I have learned through CrossFit that I can endure through any uncomfortable situation. I embrace each workout with a positive, focused attitude, fighting until the very last second. It is amazing how I try to push my physical limits, running as fast as they can, jumping as high as they can, and trying to pick up really heavy things. And as for the nutrition . . . Well, it’s a work in progress but I ‘believe I will achieve.’
