It's two weeks into my Crossfit Challenge and I am LOVING it!

When Rebecca posts those Workouts of the Day (WOD) I cringe thinking there is no way I will be able to do it. Somehow the energy in our small groups and the encouragement from the coach makes me want to push to get through and finish. What an awesome sense of accomplishment... I actually did it when I thought I couldn't!

Feeling stronger everyday!

Started Crossfit today! Did my assessment and measurements. Feeling motivated!

Loving the intimate environment and the fact that it's all women at all fitness levels.

Definitely not an intimidating atmosphere.

Rebecca feels like my own personal trainer pushing me in this small class.

I think I'm gonna like this!

It's another year and another promise to myself that I will start working out and CONTINUE (that's the key) to work out.

I always start...it's the desire to soldier on that always wanes.

I decided to try Crossfit Ahwatukee and the chance to win an iPad at the end of 6 weeks as my motivating factor.

I am one of those people that if I don't see results right away, I lose incentive to get my butt in gear.

I figure 6 weeks is a fair enough length of time to see some change.

Crossfit recommends the Paleo diet, which is essentially a clean way of eating like our hunter-gatherer ancestors did.

High on the protein with lots of fruits and veggies. No processed food, gluten or legumes are allowed either.

To amp up my chances for the Grand Prize, I've decided to follow the Paleo plan too.

Okay....here I go!
