Crossfit has been quite a journey for me. lots of up and downs. mostly ups though. I started cross fit a couple years ago but i would only do it for a month or so. this time around has been the first time i have been consistent with it for a while. After i had my 5th baby, i waited a month for my body to heal and than i began crossfit. it was a really big struggle for me to not be where i was at before my baby. but i just had to be patient and knew that it would all pay off. I would find myself crying through work outs cause they were so hard but i never gave up. I had a lot of encouragement from the trainers. They always believed in me and knew i could do more than what i thought. So i would. even if it sucked and was really hard. i just kept trying until i finally got it. my process of losing weight wasn’t over night either. i wore sweats and stretchy pants for a long time. in fact my weight never changed after i had my baby. it stayed the same but i noticed my body changing. inches lost. so i kept just focusing on that. i stopped weighing myself. i started focusing on my progression in the gym and the way my clothes fit. I also took pictures every month. really big difference each month i would notice. My baby is now 6 months old and i am the fittest i have ever been. Im back in my skinny jeans. i feel really great. I eat healthy cause i want to and know that my performance will way better in the gym because of it. and each day i just keep trying. I have my bad days of course but i know the next i can be better. I love crossfit. it has changed my life. not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. its my time to be me and away from “life.”
