I have dabbled in Crossfit on and off since 2010, finally committing to a box at the end of 2015, Powerkeg Athletics, in San Diego (which sadly is no longer around due to flooding and succumbing to the damage caused by a burst city water line). I went almost every day for year. 2017 was a disaster. I moved to Chicago suburb area with my boyfriend for his job. It took 3 months to find employment, gym commitment was anything but consistent, and in August of 2017, I nearly died from pneumonia because my body couldn't fight it because the doctors discovered that I am HIV+. After a few days on a breathing machine and a feeding tube, and 2 weeks in the hospital, a month of oxygen and physical therapy, losing 30 pounds in a month, and massive amounts of medication, I went back to the gym. I've been going more regularly, I focused on Squats and legs a lot to regain the muscle mass i lost and cardio to rebuild my lungs from the damage caused by the pneumonia. When i was on Twitter I saw the open was just around the corner and thought that this is the perfect chance to re-commit to fitness and test myself again. I have a new box, I'm reinvigorated, and I want show myself and everyone else that I am stronger than HIV and nothing can hold me down.
