I've never been in great shape, and I could certainly still stand to lose a few pounds (maybe I should cut out the french fries and ice cream, eh?) but I've never felt healthier than I am now. I took two of my friends there back in April, both of whom are about nine years my junior. The guy who runs daily came in a solid five minutes after me but my other friend came in three minutes ahead of me. Of course, he had also just finished first in the Pennsylvania State Trooper's physical fitness exam, so I didn't feel terrible. My point is, I feel healthier than I have at any point in my life. Sure, it's a love/hate relationship, but I keep going back. I started Crossfit back in February.

My hubby ("what would you attempt to do" guy) has been doing cross fit for a few months and loves it (well, loves the results, I should say). I started doing it but only made it about 3 sessions! But I had a good reason for stopping (there's a bun in the oven and I was scared of how intense it was). I'm hoping that I can cross fit my way to my best shape ever after this baby is born, though. For us busy moms, you just can't beat how little time you need to put in while still getting maximum results. I think you should stick with it! Anyone can do anything for 20 minutes!!!!! Be strong!

Crossfit is awesome. I'm starting my fourth month right now - been doing Crossfit about about 5 times a week since the beginning of April and the results are tremendous. I was in pretty good shape before I started, but am totally ripped now. It's crazy. I have so much more energy throughout the day. I'm more focused and feel more productive. And of course my stamina and endurance has shot through the roof. You should keep it up. The first week or two is pretty rough, but once you work through that initial shock, your body will start loving you! Me Ra! Crossfit is awesome.

I never know what day they're gonna be. So it normally ends up being on a "bad Ali" day where I have just eaten a candy bar....ok...3 candy bars...needless to say, I end up puking because it is SO INTENSE...and I usually walk weird for about 3 days after...(lunging across a football field will do that)...you're awesome for doing this. We'll definitely see results if we both stay consistent :) Uh yeah…a small group of folks at my church are doing the cross fit routines. I never know what day they’re gonna be.

It's not my fave exercise but it feels good afterward and takes about 20 min.Are you still able to walk? Can you pick up groceries without hurting? :P Having been on the initial workout with you and Troy (sure, “we never run” your friend said) and running our interval butts off, my quads were still hurtin’ 4 days later!

Are you still able to walk? Can you pick up groceries without hurting? :P

We lost power but it came back in the middle of the night.So, my relaxing 3-day holiday weekend will now be chainsawing and wood-hauling for... well, weeks, probably! I tried to take pictures last night but it was raining sideways and it was so dark, my shutter wanted to be open for ages. Will have to take aftermath photos after work in the sunshine.
