I'm getting stronger..

When I started working out 7 years ago, I worked out HARD. I was in the gym 2 hours a day for 6 days per week. I was strong..very strong. 

Now that I've gone back to weight training (and let me tell ya, starting over SUCKS, but...I am VERY GRATEFUL to have the opportunity to start over), I feel good again. Going to Crossfit has really been good for me. When I say good for me, I don't just mean physically, but emotionally. It's nice to take out whatever stress I may have on the weights. Grunting while squatting with weight doesn't seem so silly. :) 

It  was definitely very hard for me. I went from not being able to do an overhead squat (still something I do NOT enjoy doing) with an empty 35lb bar, to squatting (not in perfect form) with 80lbs overhead. I see the results in my strength. I don't necessarily see the physical results and that's only because my diet sucks. I plan on doing the Paleo Challenge next month with my box. I will post how I'm doing with that and the workouts daily to help keep me accountable. I currently weight a 156lbs (I'm only 5'5) and would like to see a strong 140 by spring. I look forward to more milestones in my life and am grateful that I'm able to make them!
