Hello!

I haven’t been on my tumblr for weeks now it seems. Slowly been letting it go but I miss it. I miss having to commit myself to a good community and logging my journey. Life has been stressful. Challenges coming from home, work and fitness. My moods have been off. I was getting depressed. My boyfriend had to push me to go to work or the gym almost everyday. I am trying though. I’m on Whole 9 now to see if my tiredness and moods alter and working out at the box for one hour a day. I have been running and trying to learn to love it more. It’s nice out so the weather isn’t an excuse. I miss you guys on here!

Something my boyfriend wrote for me.

She steps up to it. It lies there at her feet, motionless and seemingly attached to the floor. An unmoveable object.
The metallic glint of the the bar has an obnoxious purpose—to reflect every bit of light back into the cold and desnse black rubber of the plates. Nothing escapes their gravity. Nothing defies it.

Until she comes along.

There are many ways to prove to ourselves what we are capable of. These are instances of discovery and of accomplishment.

I watched her set up. Her hands are solid on the bar and her heels are hard set on the ground beneath her. Breathe. I watch her eyes, they are focused but slightly timid. A hint of worry and fear, but her body says “kill”. Three consecutive and perfect Deadlifts. Next, a hang clean. She has failed twice already, but it’s to no affect. Her body says “kill”. Breathe. The weight rests at her thighs. This structure of metal and rubber would dwarf any other being but she commanded it and it obeyed her. She starts the lift. I see the bar come up, but I pay attention to her eyes. The fear is still there, but they say “fight” with no mention of “flee”. She gets it up. And towards the final obstacle. A push press. she has defeated one beast only to have it replaced by something even more foreboding. And it rests on her chest. Her body says “kill”. Breathe. She stands there with the weight of progress, of self doubt, of anger, and of pride pinning her to that spot. I look in her eyes. She looks in mine. I tell her “You can do this”. And then I scream “Go!”. And she does. And within seconds, the weight is off.
As the bar hovers above us for those few short moments, I look in her eyes. The fear is gone, replaced only by discovery and accomplishment. That look is impossible to replicate and impossible to describe. But it is absolutely apparent when you see it. Her gaze left me breathless, it contained the secrets of her being. But alas, her gaze was fleeting. The weight crashes to the floor. Breathe.

“I Love My Barbell” WOD

5-5-5-5-5
•3 Deadlifts to Hang Clean to 2 Push Press
(Increase weight each set)
65-85-95-105-110/115
First of all my power clean was 105 before and I know push press was 95 so holy heck I got PRs.
I couldn’t say this was just one workout. It was more of a realization. For several weeks now I have been doubting in myself and capabilities a great deal. It was interfering with my wods and study for the certification. But today I proved to myself that indeed I am pretty badass. I am stronger than I used to be. My technique is great in each movement so yes I am worthy of that certification and to call myself a crossfitter. I was in pain but damn i wasn’t giving up on that barbell. I didn’t hate it. I wanted both of us to become one and get that movement completed and just one more, give me just one more mentality. I screamed my heart out each lift. And got applauded by my box family. I can’t believe what a tiny girl I am to be lifting that amount of weight. I am proud of myself today!
