Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass - it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Shrinking

It's been almost 2 years since Scott told me he was ready to get serious and lose weight.  He started off on the eliptical at the gym and I eventually talked him into running.  He lost about 70 lbs and back in March he ran a 1/2 marathon.  A couple month after the 1/2, he started to lose interest in running and was ready to try something different.  He decided to give Crossfit a try.  While his 1st experience with Crossfit was terrible, I talked him into trying it again once we found Sherwood Crossfit.  It was much closer to home and they had a beginner class (unlike the 1st place her tried).  He LOVED it.  Heck we both did.  They started a 4pm class about a month later that fit his schedule and he has been going ever since.  It's amazing how much smaller he has gotten in the 4 months he has been going.  A couple of weeks ago after the Razorback game in Little Rock, I forced him to go to the mall with me.  He ended up trying on some jeans and bought 2 pair of size 36 jeans.  He said he can't remember the last time he wore a 36 so this was extra exciting.  The icing on the cake was when we stopped in Gearhead Outfitters on our way out and he tried on a Large North Face jacket and it FIT.  The proof is in the pictures below.

I am sooo proud of you Scott!!!!

Way to go!!

I did CrossFit for awhile and loved it - crazy intense, but it's amazing to realize how hard you really can push yourself!
