So I successfully failed at maintaining a blog. It's been a year and a half since I've posted or looked at this thing. I think the most important statement I need to make is this....I did NOT lose 30 pounds before turning 30. I failed. I wasn't accountable nor responsible. I failed miserably.
Of course, the quest for weight loss continues. I'm no longer in my twenties trying to lose weight, I'm in my thirties. That stings.
I haven't completely failed. I have found a new fitness passion that I adore and work very hard at....Crossfit. I can 100% say that I can physically do things that I never thought I could (even if I was 30 pounds lighter). Since starting I have run a 5K and completed the most insane workouts of my life. When people ask me how to describe Crossfit, the best answer I can come up with is that it is a workout that takes you to the depths of hell and back. But there is also no workout in the world that can push you physically and mentally like Crossfit does and in the end there is no workout that makes you more proud of yourself. About a month ago I conquered "Murph" (run 1 mile, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, and 300 squats, followed by another mile). To me this was a huge benchmark workout and I did it. Not only did I do it, but I finished it in 57 minutes, under my goal time of an hour.
I obviously have a lot of making up to do on my blog. I think writing again meant I had to admit I failed miserably. I admit I did, but through Crossfit, I have succeeded and can say I'm happier than I have been in a long time. I threw my scale away because I could care less how much I weigh. I now care about how I look and how I perform. And looks wise, I am down about 1 1/2 sizes.
So the journey continues...I know it will never end but hopefully it will get easier.
