So today I'm back after a week and a half of no working out due to my back injury the last day that I did CrossFit.  My diet has been sucking and that has to improve!  I did better than I thought I would today though considering that fact.  It feels really good to get back into the swing of things.  I am making slow progress, but it's continuous progress.  People are starting to ask me if I am losing weight which is a definite positive!!  Luckily today there was no weights at all involved, so I didn't have to worry about having to scale down or worry about the nervousness I feel about pulling my back out again.  

I know a lot of people think CrossFit is the devil and CrossFit hurts people and sends everyone to the chiropractor, but I have to assure anyone who's reading this that I am one of the careful ones.  I am mindful of the fact that I have just started this journey and I cannot lift the amount of weight other people are lifting, nor do I want to.  I'm slowly doing what's best for myself and I'm not in competition with anyone.  I think that's why a lot of people get hurt.  They don't pace themselves.  They think they can do what the person next to them is doing and end up really hurting themselves.  In my opinion those type of people are what puts this bad stigma in the minds of others who have not been introduced to CrossFit.  What others fail to realize is how many people actually do CrossFit and how much it has helped improve their lives.  These crazies that don't pay attention to their coaches instruction are a small minority in this group.  I'm happy I was introduced to CrossFit and am SO glad to be back doing it every morning!
