I went to my first workout today!

After YEARS of feeling like I couldn’t do CrossFit because I wasn’t at my goal weight, or I wasn’t strong enough, or I just wasn’t an athlete, I swallowed the fear, insecurity, and excuses that we’re holding me back.

And, to top it off, there was an extra difficult, boot camp style Christmas workout.

I did 10 of the 12 rounds. I was so proud of myself. Even the coach said she was impressed with me for being a beginner! It was hard, and I am so glad I did it. I’m stronger than I thought. I immediately felt comfortable with the coach and the people in the class. Everyone was sweating so hard that no one cared about my exercises being scaled.

To all those who say they don’t want to go because they’re overweight, or they’re not strong, or they don’t think they’ll fit in, find the box for you!

I’ll also say that, now knowing what a CrossFit workout is, every previous workout I did was a joke in comparison.

I can’t wait until Monday to go back.

I just want to scream to the world I LIFTED A BARBELL!!
