This year I have been focused on one thing - getting into shape. At times I have been more successful than others. Lately, as you can tell from my blog, I have been going through a blah period. Not going forward, not going backward. The last couple of weeks something has been rumbling around in my head....I'm an athlete. It's true! I currently don't have the body of an athlete but my heart and mind certainly still go that way. 90% of the things on my bucket list are athletic things! I have played sports, gone to the gym since the 80ies (remember the days when we all wore leotards and leg warmers to the gym?), and have been a personal trainer. I'm a freaking athlete! Now what's hilarious is; as I was embracing the athlete thought, I had a conversation with my Mom this morning. She said that she had been talking about a friend of the family who said when they thought of me, they thought of an athlete. Woah! Talk about affirmation!
Now this thinking has lead me to do something tomorrow I'm nervous as heck about. There is a place in my town called CrossFit (http://www.crossfitlodi.com/) and I'm going to my first class tomorrow. I went last week to talk to someone but chickened out. I had pulled into the parking lot when I saw the class running by. Dang! They were all in shape, what was I doing there! Guaranteed, I'm going to get my butt kicked....at first. But I'm excited because I really believe in how they do training and I think it's going to be just the kick in the butt I need :) I will let you know if I live!

AuthorMy name is Kat and I'm a single mom of two young adults. I have not always been overweight but after having children and going through some personal hurdles, let it get out of control. My philosophy about eating is this: Eat real food. Real eggs, butter, veggies. Eliminating processed junk as much as possible. I eat butter, not faux butter product because I believe my body can better process real food rather than chemicals. Archives
