What can I say… my greatest challenge today was the three rounds of Squat Snatches… I struggled, but I did not quit…. so at the end of the class, I walked out the door drenched in sweat, with fatigued muscles, extremely exhausted, but proudly with my head held high. That is what life is about. Giving it your all without quitting.

Next week marks the end of my summer break. Boooo! Starting week with CrossFit, for the past two months, and getting it in four to five days a week has been a real treat! Yeah, you heard right… “a treat!” Call me crazy– hubby says I’m a beast. Lol! Plain and simple, I love a good physical challenge, so CrossFit is perfect for me.

September marks the start of the school year for my son and I.  It also means a demanding and tight schedule, but I’m excited because my fitness center schedules classes based on the their clients needs, so I will be able to continue with CrossFit during football season.  My workout will move from mornings to afternoons.  My greatest challenge will be food intake before an afternoon CrossFit class, but I’ve already begun working on this and will have it figured out soon.
