Starting out

I am starting my confessions a few days into my CrossFit journey. First’s things first: I am a procrastinator and will always put off what I can. This is probably why I have been fighting budgers for my entire adult life. I want a quick fix. CrossFit is not this. CrossFit is part of my re-programming into a person who cares about themselves, a person who does not run to baddies when the going gets tough. I am taking control of my life. From yesterday in fact.



My first real day at CrossFit was Monday 21 June, a few days after my 35 birthday. What the F. Turning 35 was a real turning point for me. I need to stop kidding myself and get serious. Serious means: eating well, and crossfitting hard. No negative self-talk and turning to easy fixes. Ciggies well they are another story. Bloody evil things.


About me: I live a simple life with my hubby to be and cat. I work hard and have a tendency to be grumpy. Most. Of. The. Time. I hate making a fool of myself. I hate to be singled out and hate to be bad at things.

I first tried CrossFit a few weeks ago. I was totally crap. I finished a good 20 minutes after everyone else. Ok probably was actually only 2 minutes after everyone, but gosh it felt long. Everyone was cheering me on, chanting my name.. Total embarrassment but I didn’t quit and finished my WOD. That is one thing I never do. But I didn’t go back to my box for ages. I still drank the Kool-Aid and completely fell in love with CrossFit, the culture, the people etc. I read every article, every message post, watched all the YouTube’s and even attended the regionals for Australia. But I didn’t step a foot into my box. Blimey. The problem: It is hard and I am the worst in the box and I hate that. Let's just say maybe I have an ego issue?


The turning point: My turning point was when my bestie joined her box. Sure my other half goes all the time and loves Crossfit. But it is different when I can talk about crossfit to my girl. Anyway, Here I am CrossFit. I am not quitting. I have said my goodbyes to pump class and hours and hour of useless step machine. And hello to nutcase training: CrossFit.
