My Journey from NotFit to CrossFit (journey in progress)

The picture to the right is from December of last year.  I had started boot camp and had made some progress with it but this is before I started Crossfitting and the real body construction began.
Since I started attending indoor CrossFit classes I have lost weight, lost inches, gained confidence, become closer to my brother (who also crossfits), I have energy to spare, I take care of myself more, I give back more to the community, I have realized that FAT is not bad and scary, my running has improved... EVERYTHING has improved!  The incredible thing is that I'm not even close to my goals yet!  I can't wait to see what all has improved when I have achieved my new goals in 2009!  
It is difficult to chart out your future if you are always looking behind you at your past BUT it is also important to remember your success and progress and use that to motivate you towards a better future.  Right now I am looking back realizing how much CrossFit and CrossFit Central have changed my life and are going to change my life.

Ready to Make Things Happen In 2009

2009 is rapidly approaching and at CrossFit Central we have been focusing on making positive changes through goal setting.  It is really strange but I am so excited about getting things started and knocking my goals out one by one that I can't wait for '08 to be over.  It is really important to keep your life road map handy and evaluate where you are every once in a while.  I am working hard to finish writing down all my goals for the coming year before the ball drops - I encourage you to do the same thing!  

Make sure to set goals for your health, career, personal life and whatever else is important to you!  I will keep you posted on some of my goals and my progress.
