F- you fat body! Never Again!!!

so, a few months ago spencer and i joined the rec center.  i was hopeful that they would have some good workout classes and that i would be able to get in better shape.

little did i know...  crossfit had entered my life.

ever heard of crossfit?  oh heavens.  it is the most intense, most amazing, most effective workout i have ever experienced; and i have tried a lot.  i have been an exercise junkie for most of my life.  i danced in high school and college, i took endless strength, body pump, aerobic, kickboxing, blah blah blah classes and nothing, NOTHING compares to this workout.



and i am proud to say when i stepped on the scale last night i had officially lost 11 lbs! yes 11!
and what is even more encouraging and exciting is that my body is looking different better, so much better.
i have muscles!
i am stronger.
i love it.
spencer loves it. ;)
i love that he loves it.

i love that i feel good. and healthy. and strong.

strong is the new pretty!

    Good for you Nicke. I have never been disciplined enough to exercise but I walk a lot.

    Yay you! We don't have that here, but I've been doing body attack classes once a week of late (I need to up the ante to add in a body combat class too) but both of them are effectively high intesity workouts, and while they're not much fun at the time, the after effects are great!

    Way to go!!

    I have a friend who does crossfit and she is one muscular awesome beast (while still very feminine haha). I wish I could join a gym with fun classes - we did for a few months and I loved it but it was just too expensive and all the other smaller gyms have no classes. Running 25 miles a week has not helped me lose any weight at all, regardless of how much I love it.
