New Adventure

My crew at Special Olympics in DC!

As some of you may have noticed, my CFO appearances have been few and far between. Although I adore some of the people in that gym, I have started to grow away from it. I will never forget my first workout there - partially because a certain few people won't let me live it down! I have decided, however, that I am going to spend a solid month away from the gym. I am all about excuses, and work is getting crazy. When I signed on for the job, it was 20 hours a week. Now, I occasionally feel as though I'm putting in 10 hours in 2 days. School isn't helping with the busy schedule either. Apparently, getting your master's is no easy feat. I have to put in a few hours a day on school work just so I can keep up. This last week, I missed all 3 of my classes, so I'm already behind and I will miss another one next week. It's frustrating, but don't get me wrong, I am very happy with how things have been happening in my world lately. I love my job at UNO working with the Special Olympics! I love the people in my classes who are all trying to work towards a degree in RT! And, to top it off, I get to plan my freaking wedding!!!

Back to the gym situation. I am not quitting Crossfit. I am simply going to start doing workouts not at the closest affiliate. I will be working out at UNO since it is much more convenient. (If any of you have tried to park on campus lately, you'll understand why I don't want to leave once I found a spot!!) I will attempt to follow CFO's blog as closely as possible here. I just don't have enough money to be wasting some on going to the gym 2x a week, if that! The brand new gym at UNO is free for me and it comes with a sauna. Hopefully, I'll start working out more, now that it is more convenient! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Also, I've been thinking about starting another blog on my adventures with Special Olympics. Thoughts? I feel like more people need to hear about the amazing-ness that is S.O!

Finally, the dreaded diet. Since I have no connections this year to Sectionals, it's been shit. I have been eating whatever I want...and seeing what that does to my body. Let me tell you, it's not pretty. I need to get back on track somehow. Nothing seems to motivate me anymore. I could care less about being a couple #s heavier in Las Vegas. I'm hoping I can kick it into high gear before the conference and Hawaii in July! If nothing else, by May 27, 2011, I will be in the best shape of my life and be able to back squat 2.5x my body weight!!!
