This past week I hit my first real low or as I like to see it, roadblock, in my crossfit journey.
It started with hurting my shoulder and culminated with me siting in front of my closet on a Friday night crying because nothing fit me anymore.
In between was a few missed workouts, low energy levels and lots of conversation about how to tackle these issues.
To be honest, this week was not something I could have shouldered on my own (no pun intended, or maybe it was...). I am lucky enough to have found Crossfit and to have people in my life that look at me, knowing I am hurting and lift me up/help me power through. Without crossfit, I never would have found all the beautiful women in my life. I can't tell you how many people have noticed that I wasn't myself this week, went out of their way to give me advice or just listen or let me know they are there. From tips on my diet, how to stress or just comments to make me laugh; this group of women kept me in the mind set I need to be in: positive.
In particular, two beauiful women in my life have been where I've been in the past and know exactly what to say to bring me back to Earth. They are both strong, physicall and mentally. And supportive to say the least. Combined, these things remind me the beauty of a crossfit woman. (I know, it always seems to come back to this). So, thank you and I hope you continue to walk with me on this AMAZING journey.
So when you feel down, look around you.
They are all here for you.
I am here for you, whoever you are.
We are Crossfit. We are beauty. We are strength.
(My WODS this week have been disasturous to say the least, haven't even recorded much! Will get back to it this week :))
