NSOR: Crossfit!

[dakotadangerdog]

I love it so far! I just finished Elements last night and did the baseline workout.

500m row
40 Squats
30 Sit ups
20 Push ups
10 Pull ups

I finished in 8:56

I feel so good! At our box you can do either 2x a week or 3x a week (not sure why you can't go more often?) I signed up for 2x a week for this month since I will be gone half the rest of the month anyway, but I am planning on moving up to 3x a week next month.

AND turns out I get student pricing so it's a little cheaper! YAY!

[starryfish]

AWESOME!

Thats weird they only offer 2-3x a week. Most places offer 3x a week minimum since thats how much you need to make progress.

p.s. any cute guys?

Yay! I'm loving CrossFit! And the scenery at my box is pretty nice too

[dakotadangerdog]

Yeah I thought like 5x a week was more normal! I'm gonna ask when I call, cuz I am kinda bummed, I want to go more haha. I was thinking more like going to 3 normal classes a week plus saturdays they do a Kettlebell class. The other two boxes I looked at offer unlimited memberships!

I honestly haven't had much of a chance to check out the dudes haha I have been so focused on my classes! There are a few, seems like most people are a lot older than me though. I feel like a baby haha.

Lol...you need to check them out! Lol

I think one of the trainers was hitting on me yesterday ;D

[dakotadangerdog]

NICE! I haven't met any of the guy trainers except for the owner, who is married to the other owner lol. He's super super nice though.

I'm just so stoked to get into it! I have been so much happier since I started going, I had really been in a funk for a while, I haven't been hanging out with anyone, all of my friends are just annoying me, I quit online dating, I just stay home, lift weights in my garage and snuggle with my dog lol. That was kind of a big motivator to join Crossfit, so I could get out and meet people. It'd be nice to just have friends, or even date someone, who was into fitness and maybe even is Paleo! That'd be awesome haha. Most people just don't get it.

Yes! It has done a LOT for my confidence and social life as well. At my class time, its mostly girls in their 20s-30s so they are awesome! We did a girls night a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome! Now we are doing one once a month! They are fantastic!

Cool! My box does a ladies night once a month, it's actually tonight but I feel weird going haha like I need someone to actually invite me. No one mentioned it, I just saw it on the website. Plus it's a potluck so you have to bring something and I feel like usually that's something coordinated so you don't have 8 people bringing the same thing you know?

Go! Seriously, whats the worst that can happen? Just bring a dessert, everyone always love dessert! ;D

[dakotadangerdog]

Haha I feel weird bringing a dessert to a gym!!!! BUT I do have everything at home to make some Paleo coconut chocolate chip cookies

I'd have time to make them before... ahhhhh I really really should go. I hate being the awkward new person!

Okay, I will make a deal with you. You go to the girls night and I will talk to my trainer guy friend about how I dont want to be FWB and that I like him. This is going to be SUPER hard for me and is WAY outside my comfort zone! ahhhhhhh

[dakotadangerdog]

DEAL!!!! Cuz this is way outside mine too!

I'm feeling a little better about it cuz it's pretty chill, you can bring non-member guests and stuff, and the owner is running it and she is sooooo nice!

Alright, deal is on! Post back on Monday since I dont really check on the weekend!

[dakotadangerdog]

Haha okay, I don't really either so that works for me!!

[Bernadine]

I wish it wasn't so darn expensive- I think I'd really enjoy it.

[dakotadangerdog]

Yeah, I'm super glad I got a student discount!!! I was going to stick with the cheaper membership but now with the discount it's only $10 more to go up to the bigger one, so I'm definitely doing that!
