This all started because of a culmination of many reasons. My roommate made it his new years resolution to dunk a basketball, and has worked really hard at it. I've had multiple friends get engaged and begin the "LGN" diet (which I think being LGN would help me get engaged in the first place), and finally I was tired of looking at pictures of me and thinking "ooooh bad angle" or "dang am I really that fat?" I was tired of dwindling energy levels, of always being an "ok" athlete during sports, of not being strong enough, or fast enough, and of feeling lethargic. Basically I was tired of being average.
For a solid year my co worker was talking to me about this gym he joined, a crossfit gym about 5 minutes down from work. I of course gave the old excuses that everyone gives, "i'm already a member at a gym" and "its too expensive", etc etc. Yes, I was going to the gym after work, but I was completely wasting my time. Having a gym membership does not equate to hard work, it doesn't get you to gut out those extra reps when you're too tired to see clearly. After a few months I realized that what I was doing was a complete waste of time, and decided to take another look at this crossfit thing.
I decided that if I was going to do it, I was going to be fanatical about it, and truly buy in to what they were teaching. I bought books on paleo living, learning things like "gluten is bad for your body" and joined Bayou City Crossfit. Part of "being fanatical" means that I don't make excuses and miss any sessions, and that I will post my results online.
Like I said in the beginning, I'm hoping this blog can inspire me to work harder, and help me make the tough decisions like not eating chips and queso at mexican food restaurants.
Anyways, happy reading.
