Update: Crossfit Competition

So the Crossfit Competition went ok. I only got to do the first WOD (7 min AMRAP) because the competition was a little delayed and I needed to leave to take GRE.

I only got 2 rounds, overall thoughts:
Good experience
Realized I'm not where I want to be in order to compete at that level
Really motivated me to improve and work hard for the next competition (Cinco de Mayo)

Bit of more than I can chew

Tomorrow I'll be doing two things that will forever change my life.  I will compete in my first Crossfit competition in the morning and I'll take the GRE in the afternoon. The competition is at my local gym and is relatively small. I'll be competing against 20 other girls most from my gym. Five of these girls are regulars competitors, needless to say, they are going to kill me. The other 15 are very close to my skill level. It will be an awesome competition, but I'm so nervous.


I hope to continue competing in Crossfit competitions and this is a stepping stone to my ultimate goal., Fall Brawl 2012

Hello Bloggers, It's me Marlaina

So I decided to create a blog for two reasons. 

One reason was because my Weight Lose Journey has been totally scattered between my journal, gym schedule and weight watcher website. I want one place where I can look and see what worked, what didn't and what I thought in between.

The second reason I'm creating this blog is to finalize my goals. I have a habit of keeping my goals a secret. If know one knows what my goals are then no one would know if I failed at them. Accountability is key.
