CROSSFIT

In the beginning of February, my best friend's husband received his wings and my dad and I went to his winging ceremony. While I was there, I was talking to my best friend's dad who said he recently started CrossFit and that I was his inspiration for starting a fitness program. That both bothered and motivated me. It bothered me because this 60-year old man started CrossFit before me and motivated me because I wanted to start it! 

I kept with Barre consistently up until about Feb 21 then began the Foundations course at SeaCity CrossFit on the 24th. 5 straight mornings of about 1 hour, learning the basic moves and general way that the workouts go. I completed my first official WOD (yup, I'm gonna start throwing around CrossFit terms now!) on March 3 and I'm looking forward to seeing how my body changes. I've bought a speed rope and kettlebell so far so that I can complete WODs at home when I can't make it in. Since I'm still training for the DC Half Marathon, I'm only CFing 2x a week, barre 1x a week, and running 3x a week. Planning to take measurements at the end of this month and comparing them to the ones I took on 2/1/14 to see how I'm doin'! I can already see a difference in my tummy, mainly because I'm eating very close to (but NOT strict) Paleo and my dad sees a difference in my arms/shoulders =)

I love this picture because it involves 2 of my favorite things: working out and Sleeping Beauty
