The other side of life...


Well, I'm having to take a step back from the gym for a few days. I do have another life besides all this CrossFit stuff (suprise, suprise)and it's very busy. I'm in the Nurse Practitioner program at UTA, which I think some but not everyone knows, and I work several jobs. Well, this week my school has demanded my attention and it has gotten it. At one time in my life, I would have sacrificed grades, relationships, etc to just get my workout in for the day. Not anymore. I've gotten a little wiser and I realize that a day away from the gym...or heck, even a week away from the gym isn't going to mess anything up. I'm not going to become a weakling or turn into a roley poley. I might even come back stronger than before. Regardless, there are other things in my life besides CF and that a-okay by me.

I also have a wonderful boyfriend, a loving family,the cutest pit bull and some of the best friends a girl could ask for (MD, KD, CP, NM, DD, SC... you guys know who you are). And I like to spend as much time with them as I can. So, they'll always get more attention than CF will. Mike, my priorities...they're being realigned.
