Hey Everyone! Thanks for checking my blog out.
I want to start off by giving everyone an inspiration quote:
“You will find that there are no limits to what you can accomplish except for the limits you place on your own imagination. And since there are no limits to what you can imagine, there are no limits to what you can achieve.” ~ Brian Tracy
This quote speaks volume. I hope that everyone out there realizes that you are able to achieve whatever you set your mind to!
I was always the “skinny” kid who got picked on growing up. Weight training always scared me and brought on anxiety because I was scared of what the other people would think of me seeing a “skinny” kid lifting light weights (but they were heavy to me!). Don’t get me wrong, I was an athlete and did not let people get in my way, but words do hurt and make people self conscious.
Let us look ahead. Here I am no longer a school age kid, out of college and working as an Accountant at an amazing company. I moved away from family, 45 minutes away (but hey, that is far for me!), and wanted a new hobby. I soon began doing CrossFit. This was something that I was terrified to do. Cardio workouts and heavy weights……talk about intimidating! Let me tell you, it was anything but intimidating because the coaches want you to achieve your best and make a better you.
That is how my fitness obsession was born. 3 years into CrossFit and I am doing obstacle course races and fun competitions at the “box” that I attend CrossFit in. I couldn’t have made a better choice than accepting myself and trying to achieve something that would make me healthier and stronger. This is my message to everyone as our journey together starts. Go out, do something that makes you nervous and don’t let others views prevent you from achieving your goals! Let’s get into fitness and have fun, work hard, and be healthy!
I will be sharing fitness stories, favorite workouts, and events that you can attend (including OCR events). Stay tuned to find out what I share next!
