I’m a relative newbie to CrossFit, but it took me about two seconds to get hooked. When I signed up for the On-Ramp I ended my Bally’s membership and never looked back. I haven’t been in a “traditional” gym in over three months. Until today. Objectively it is a huge, shiny, new, high-tech gym. And I HATED IT! I couldn’t get used to my reflection in all the mirrors as I worked out. I would have killed for a bucket of chalk and a pullup bar that was actually attached to a wall or ceiling instead of a machine that I was CERTAIN would tip over if I dared challenge it with some kipping pullups. CrossFit has completely changed what I consider a workout. I couldn’t bring myself to touch any of the many machines that I’d worked out on for YEARS before starting CrossFit. They seemed so foreign, strange and useless.

Maybe more personal to me, is how CrossFit has changed my goals and body image. After years of wanting to be “skinny” and measuring goals and accomplishments in pounds lost, I now find myself focused on real fitness and measuring my accomplishments in pounds lifted. How liberating!!!!

Oh, joy, matching bruises approximately one kettlebell length below my wrist.
So… I could not believe how poorly I did today. And NOW I see that we should have done 3 rounds not 4! Sweet! Good training!
Big thanks to Lindsay for coaching me to PR at 83#!! So exciting!
