Month 1, July: Starting weight: 122 pounds. Throughout the 12 months, I weighed myself regularly and took monthly photos, just because I'm a science nerd and wanted to have actual data to compare from month to month. There were a few times when I actually lost faith in CrossFit and wanted to throw in the kettlebell towel - sorry, these puns are just too easy! I think anyone on any sort of fitness or weight-loss journey will be able to relate to this. My journey actually didn't really go as planned, so I wanted to map out each month so you can see that progress wasn't all uphill for me. I just hit my one-year CrossFitversary (fist bump to me!) and feel compelled to share my experiences in the hopes that they might inspire someone else who is thinking about trying CrossFit to finally take the (box)jump! Before: July 2016 I decided to commit to CrossFit for an entire year, going four to six times per week, to see what would happen.
After just one month, CrossFit jump-started the most life-changing physical and mostly mental transformation I have ever experienced (aside from becoming a mom).
I'm the first to admit that I was absolutely wrong. Coming from a running and yoga background, and never once setting foot in a gym, I thought those people doing countless burpees, flipping tires, and grunting while lifting weights were nuts. Last July, I only signed up for a month of CrossFit so I could write a post about how stupid I thought it was.
