I have never been an athletic person, nor a particularly healthy person. When becoming healthier became a goal of Daniel's I realized that I very much wanted to join him on that journey. I have some specific obstacles to overcome to realize those goals, but I am loving the results so far, and am excited to see how far I can get with dedication and perseverance. This blog will help me record the Journey so that I can look back to see how far I've come.
I have taken the plunge, and enrolled to be a ISSA-certified fitness trainer. After much research, I went with ISSA as the consensus of CF affiliates on the forums seemed to say it was the least-useless national certification. And they accept CrossFit certs for their Continuing Education Units (ie, to maintain the certification), which nobody else does.
So! 12-16 weeks, they say, to complete. I have no idea where I'm going to find the time for this, but I'm excited!
When I turned 30, I took stock of myself and was not very impressed with what I had become physically. I resolved to lose weight and get fit, and spent the next year and a half doing just that. In that journey I've discovered Crossfit and Rockclimbing, and am now passionate about them both. This is a log of my progress.
