I have been going to class 2 or three days a week depending on the kids schedules, since Carstens preschool ended last week I have gone everyday this week. I am really enjoying that it is constantly changing and I am realizing that I can do things I would have thought prior I wouldn't have been able to. I come home after class sore but in a good way and the kids love going to the gym with mom, (except when they don't.)
I have been really lucky with the fact that I can bring all three kids with me and everyone is really good about them being there. It helps that it has a kids room for the kids to play in. I was told the other day that well I was doing planks Carsten was copying me to the exact movements I was doing. I thought it was really cute to hear I wish I had a picture though. Part of the reason I started Cross-Fit was to get myself healthy and then show my kids that they need to live a healthy active lifestyle. The last reason I started was to get out of my head which is now something I hear every class. "Stop thinking about it and just do it."
Now I have something that is a very good stress relief and doesn't allow me to think about anything other then the movements I am doing at that time. I have to say that although it is a challenge (every class) I am really loving the fact that I can come in dead last time wise and still know I did my best because I am really not ready to compete with everyone else, not to say I don't want to. I know at this point I need to focus getting my positions right and not competing so hard with the clock that I lose the proper posture.
So here is to a healthy new lifestyle and getting myself into the shape I want to be. I am going to take measurements as well as weight to see the changes.
