My Year in Crossfit

This is supposed to be a Crossfit blog right? So I think I'll actually write a bit about it...

When 2013 began, I was not allowed to Crossfit because I had surgery on my knee 3 weeks before. I went to yoga 3 days a week and never got "bigger," but I did get what I like to call soft. The tone I worked for in my arms and the rest of my body slowly got less and less visible. March rolled around and I felt strong enough to go back a couple of times a week. I wasn't focused enough and constantly fell off the wagon. I got into a relationship that distracted me, ended that relationship which probably distracted my even more and then around July I decided it was time to make a change. I have a long way to go with my eating habits, but Crossfit I knew I could change. 

Not only do I feel stronger than I ever have I have the numbers to prove it. Where was I and where am I now:
Back Squat: pre surgery 195/ new 205
Front Squat: pre surgery 135/ new 175
Deadlift: pre surgery 205/ new 235
Overhead Squat: 85/115
Power Clean: 105/145
Squat Clean: 115/150
Snatch: 75/85
Couldn't and now can do DUs, HSPU, ring dips, C2B pull-ups and butterflies

I couldn't be happier with my coaches, my gym and my main inspiration, Kate Schuh. Here's to a thank you to a great year and motivation to make the next one even better !!!
