I'm not gonna lie, there's so many days i don't want to do it. I would rather stay at home and watch a movie or just sleep but I know that if i go, in one hour i will be that much better then i was yesterday and the day before that. I cant take all the credit though, there's so many awesome people up there that will not let you quit, will not let you fail.
A lot of people have been asking me what i eat or if my diet changed much. OH YES! lol. Crossfitters are all about Paleo! Which is often referred to as the caveman diet. Back before Drive thru's, Diner's, and tv dinners, Men hunted (Grunt lol)! They ate fresh veggies, meat, meat, and more meat. They ate berries and didnt drink soda's....they were cavemen with nice bodies.
I started eating paleo when i first got here but i wasn't as stricked about it as i needed to be so I'm now on day 8 of my 30 days of no sugar, no grains, and no beer.
What's that you ask? No grains? But the nice man on TV said I should eat whole grains? WRONG!!
I'm not gonna get into all of it here but if you google "whole grains are bad for you" it'll give you the run down.
I've been going to the gym as much as possible and talking everyone i know TO DEATH about Crossfit. When i first got here i thought these people where nuts always talking about working out but once i got into it i see how addicting it becomes. For me the addiction started at the Crossfit Regionals, watching everyone working out like their life depended on it, the sweat, the weights, the cheering, that's when I was hooked! My goal is to definitely one day be competing but i know i just gotta take it one burpee at a time.
I read something the other day that said "The workout doesn't get easier, you just get better". I thought that was true until i did a workout a few wks ago that will haunt me for the rest of my life! 300 meters of burpees and long jumps! It was the first time i ever cried in a workout lol but i didn't quit and that's why when people tell me "oh, i don't know if i can do it"...YES YOU CAN! As much as i hated that workout, i did it and i left that day with my head held high (figuratively speaking lol)
