    By the time I was done my calves were cramped up and it hurt to walk. I wanted to cry but I didn't. I had the support of the amazing members at CFU. When I started this journey I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't think it would be this hard either. I weighed myself and saw I had actually gained weight. Now the way I have been eating and working out i should NOT be gaining weight lol. But after talking to a few members I learned that muscles are starting to form:p That makes me HACKY.  That motivates me. I didn't participate in the memorial day Murph but know some amazing people that did and that insoires me to get ready for the next one:) Pray for me while I'm on this journey.......Lord know's I am going to need the strength. If I dont complete this journey than I won't complete anything else I start in my life. God Bless.

Feeling of Defeat..........and then I cried

                               I had to read this to myself over and over after today's WOD.
4 rounds of 400m run and 12 pushups sounds easier and should be easier then the other WODS I have done the past couple weeks I've been at CFU. WRONG....................today I felt defeated and weak and cried in front of everyone in the middle of my WOD. I don't cry in front of people I just met, especially at a gym. I'm supposed to be bas ass and tough it through the WOD. I cried and ran I cried and did my push ups. The whole time an amazing woman by the name of Lindsay stood by my side and cheered me on. She ran with me and even cried with me. She now holds a special place in my heart. All the amazing people that were there cheered me on through my pushups. I learned that "I CAN'T " is a bad word lol. I learned that these bad ass crossfitters that have been doing this for awhile are not full of themselves and have amazing hearts. I learned that this is just the beginning. It never get's easier , You just get stronger. And stronger I will become. I won't give up. My CFU family won't let me give up and that's why they ROCK:)

CFU....................

Not a flattering picture but this gives you an idea of my new journey and how it's going. I started Crossfit with Crossfit Unrivaled going on my 2nd week now. It has not been easy. This is not something everybody does and likes. It's like you gotta be nuts and love pain in order to do these gut wrenching workouts. You wanna puke, you wanna die, you want to curl up into the fetal position and cry......................but then some amazing supporter comes along and gives you that encouragement and motivation that you need to finish up that WOD that you started. I have met an amazing group of people and already feel at home. I look forward to what's coming:)
