I know...it's been a while. Or maybe a bit longer than a while; regardless I'm back.
I wasn't sure if I was "allowed" to write a Crossfit blog if I wasn't currently crossfitting. You might be saying..."Huh?" Let's rewind a little bit..
About two months ago, I injured my shoulder: some bursistis and a sprained rotator cuff. Because of this, I spent two months pretty much only working out my lower body i.e squats, box jumps, air dyne, row etc. Then, about 2 and half weeks ago, I injured my knee-not sure what it is yet, but I have an MRI on Thursday (wish me luck!)
Never in a million years would I have said being injured would be something I wanted, but it has definitely been a blessing in disguise. Since I began Crossfit, I used it to drown my problems, to hide my insecurities, my fears, and the unhappiness I have about some things in my life. 2 and a half weeks out and I am being forced to face them, to have to embrace and deal with the emotions instead of beat up my body to bury them. My friends sure know, but lately I have been sad and retreating, overwhelmed with things I should have dealt with a long time ago. Thankfully though, I am finally dealing with them, head on, with the foundation of strength that crossfit gave me. So now, since I'm out of the gym, I will take you on this journey with me, of inner strength rather than the lbs I can put on my barbell.
Step 1: find something every day that makes me happy
Damn do I miss crossfit :)
