Since we started CrossFitting in our "box", we've already seen progress in our CrossFitters. Not only have they lost weight but they've gotten stronger, faster and leaner. Most have seen results with just CrossFitting alone while others have seen results with a combination of diet and exercise.
A while back I posted a video about a success story from Atlanta, GA. Today, I'm posting progress pictures of Jen Foreman of CrossFit Fire. She is a Level I Certified trainer, co-owner of CrossFit Fire and is totally pushing herself to be the best "Jen" she can be. In eight months alone, Jen has shed 12lbs and dropped from a dress size 12 to 4. What has she been doing? CrossFit. She's also been following the Zone lifestyle for her diet. Jen posts on the CrossFit Discussion boards on her progress and answers questions from fellow CrossFitters. If you'd like to follow Jen's progress or ask her questions on how she did it all, you can visit this thread: http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=36565 It is Work/Family safe. You can also Download Jen 8 months progress.
Congrats to all of our CrossFitters for making such progress! Please post to comments and share your success!
Today's WOD:
Run 5 K
Post time to comments.
Since today is a "legs"/running day, I thought I'd post an "arms" video. Annie is my CrossFit Heroine and does a STOUT WOD, "JT". And ladies, she just had her second child about a month ago...
I decided to pop another Annie Video up.
Yes Annie is my Crossfit Heroine too! She and Nicole Carol are the reasons that I began doing Crossfit, can anyone say Nasty Girls! They both make it look so easy that one foolishly thinks "oh I can do that" and then quickly finds out that they can't. I think that I might row instead of run today just for the fact I haven't gone for distance on the rower in quite sometime.

I wanted to post nasty girls with the original trio: Annie, Nicole and Eva T. Though, I can't seem to find it anywhere! I used to--YES, UH HUH--have it saved to my lap top but recently cleaned up some files. DAAAAANG!
Yeah, Annie's a stud! She's like 5ft nothin' and weighs 100 nothin' pounds! She's super athletic and just a super person all-around. If you guys ever get the chance to visit CF Santa Cruz Central, for sure hook up with her. She's an amazing instructor!!

Ran 3.6mi in 24.52 with Kaela monkey. I have a 1.8mi route mapped out but not a 5k. So, I just doubled the 1.8. Got in some Martinez hills on the route too...killer! OMG. Not my best time by any means but it got the job done.
See you guys tomorrow at 10am!

I decided to row a 5K rather then run the 5K. Did it in 18:40 which I was happy and sad about at the same time. Happy because I hadn't rowed that far in quite sometime and sad because when I used to row it was much much quicker and easier. I think I'm just getting OLD!
