Conquering the bucket list!

I am feeling SUPER motivated these days and am taking advantage of this motivation by conquering BUCKET LIST ITEMS!! Last December I happily marked one item off of my bucket list, which you can read about HERE.

Now I've got my eye on CROSSFIT!

To be clear, my bucket list states "become a Crossfit machine", so I'm confident that it will take some time (like, 2 or 3 weeks, right??).  But we all start somewhere, ehhhh?

And by "start somewhere" I mean, like...I can't even do an assisted pull-up. YET.

We started taking Crossfit classes last week and I am LOVING it.  I realize it's only been a little over a week, but I'm pretty excited about it, even after leaving every class exhausted and SO SORE. Like...SO sore. And with BLISTERS. I have delicate hands y'all.

My obsession with Crossfit started about 3 years ago when I was flipping through all of the many channels that are available when you have a precious gift called cable (I haven't had cable for the last 2 years...I only really miss ESPN, TLC, and ABC Family...but MAN I miss them!) and I came across the Crossfit games.  I ended up watching the games for 3 hours!! I was in awe of their raw physical power and their intensity! I knew I wanted to try it then, but at the time I wasn't aware of any Crossfit gyms in the area.  Now, there are several within a 5 mile radius so there's just no excuse for me not to give it a try.  So try I shall!!

I'll keep y'all posted on my progress.  I'm hoping to be at like, 5% body fat by the end of the month.

I kid, I kid.  I'm just hoping to make it through every class and still be able to walk the next day.


I am ready for a change, y'all.
