How has CrossFit changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness? The most obvious change I see is that I was the busy mom who "didn't have time for the gym," now I go out of my way and do everything I can to make time.
Who or what motivates/inspires you to keep coming back? Seeing the progress that I'm making in so many aspects of my life (physical changes, physical strength, mental strength, and eating habits). And I love that I'm setting a good example for my children, who are starting to show interest. :)
What is your proudest CrossFit achievement? I have way too many to pick just one.
Name one goal/personal achievement you would like to achieve through CrossFit? I'm dying to get my first pull-up!
***Since filling this out it should be noted that Tresa is now stringing together pull-ups!!***
