Dear gym bag that I pack everyday in efforts to get to ACF,
I am a tease. I pack you and leave you in the back of my car, whispering sweet promises of a lunch time rendezvous, or even an after work quickie. But I have left you cold and waiting in my car since Tuesday. Are you available Thursday after work? Because I am ready to sweat and make sweet burpee love to the floor.
Sincerely,
Ruud Girl
All in perspective. I’d say that yesterday I slid a bit. But in perspective. Plain and simple…I have been hungry this week. Last night, I had burpees in the bank so to speak…and I am a spender. Just used them all up.
To date, the hardest part of the 90 day challenge has been balance. I have to ramp up all things nutrition and crossfit while at the same time actively participating in family life and oh yeah… working a full time job that has just kicked into high gear, averaging 9-10 hrs. per day. It is a struggle to fit in the WODs. I want to participate in WODs during a consistent time if possible to build into the community at ACF. So my goal is to get the WODs in. Simple.... right?
