We have Graduated!
Phew! We have graduated from our CrossFit starter course! One gruelling month of classes held twice a week, but it was fun. There were plenty of aches and sores and complains from us each day after class but we still kept going back for more and we will continue to go back for more! We are signing up for the 3 months membership - call us suckers for pain but, oh well!

Cross Fit
I have recently decided that it is time I got fit. Whilst I have been blessed with a pretty good metabolism rate and can eat anything I want without putting on much weight I still wish that I had a leaner body. Plus the results of my medical check-up have never been good : high cholestorol, high uric acid and low calcium levels.
So I finally decided to do something about it - to change my dietary habits and to start exercising more. First, I started by drinking more water. On a good day I usually get by on 1 litre of water. I have now increased it dramatically and try to drink at least 3 litres per day. I have also cut down on my consumption of Coke (sigh....this is the hardest part). I now allow myself only one or two per week. I used to drink 1 per day! I have also reduced my consumption on unhealthy junk food. My breakfast now also consist of healthier choices such as Ok, that is as far as I have gotten for now. Will try to eat more greens soon! Oh well, baby steps...:)
I am also trying to reduce my alcohol consumption as it has been affecting my sleep of late. After 3 glasses or so I will have difficulty falling into a deep sleep. I am someone who can get by on 4 hours of sleep as long as those 4 hours are good solid hours of sleep.
As for the exercise department, I am a person who loves cardio more than I do weights. So it was easy for me to increase the frequency of my runs but extremely difficult for me to get started on weights. The solution? Sign up for classes! What class did I sign up for? CROSS FIT! I rounded up 3 other friends and we are now on the course for starters which consist of 2 classes per week for 4 weeks. I have to say I am loving it so far. The 1st class was really easy but the second one was a real killer which left me with arms that ached for 3 solid days! But it was a nice kind of pain. Hahaha....masochistic much?
WISH ME LUCK!
