ENTER: CROSSFIT
My friend Lisa drug my ass to my first ever CrossFit class last Thursday. Oh my GAWD... I can't believe I'm about to sign up for this shit. And by "shit" I mean the constant soreness and torture I am about to pay to put my body through. Pay...financially, mentally, physically and whatever way I'm probably not even thinking about or some new way to "pay" for this punishment that was invented by CrossFit USA people that I haven't learned yet. Oh joy. Of course I'm being funny. I can't wait to go back. I went 4 days ago and can't believe that my inner thighs are both still so sore from just doing basic squats....like, for beginners. I'm a pussy. Oh....My....GAWD....it might take longer than I thought to have "Tank Top Arms" and a "Man Chest"... I'm gonna try like fuck though. Being Anita Bump for a decade I always wanted to have big arms and a bigger chest, but it was difficult enough to find clothes already. It just didn't fit her. She was already big enough and toned. So, all through my 30's since I was a pro-Drag Queen, I didn't get to workout and build my body up like I really wanted to. I'm not sure what my excuse for not doing this sooner is/was. I've not been in a dress or worn any make-up for almost 6 years. I'm ready now more than ever to accomplish my fitness goals. I want a bigger physique. I want to be a better and stronger athlete when it comes to running marathons and ultra-marathons. I finally have a diet plan in place that is SUPER strict and I am so excited to couple that nutrition plan with my new love of CrossFit. I feel like a complete moron and newbie and I'm sure that will wear off, but there is tons of jargon and workout mumbo jumbo that just has my head baffled. I'm excited to be a sponge for a couple months and just ABSORB all of this new information. My next scheduled class is set for this Tuesday. I then will decide if I am going to join for sure. I really feel like this is what has been missing from my life. Have you ever watched "The Biggest Loser"? I would kind of explain a CrossFit workout as a "Last Chance Workout" with weights. A team workout. I think most athletes or people with that athletic mentality can appreciate the camaraderie of anything that is related to a "team" event. I loved it. Even though we were the newbies and in our own little beginner workout, it was an energetic and charismatic feeling throughout the gym. Let's be honest. It's the big arms, chest and 12 pack abs I'm after. I'll let you know if I join on Tuesday and I'll chronicle my journey right here through stories and pictures of the transformation of my body. Hopefully to inspire others and to help keep myself motivated. I want to walk into a room and have people take notice and say...."look...CrossFitters!".
