I'm not sure if I can adequately put into words how my life has changed since starting Crossfit. I've become a part of an amazingly unique and warm family. I've grown stronger both mentally and physically. My self-image has changed and my confidence has gone up. My life is simply better: both more healthy and more happy. I don't know if I have any more words left, so I will leave you with some before and after pictures. (They go back and forth between before and after).
**Before and after losing approx 40lbs of fat + gaining mucho muscle, 26lb KB "before", 70lb KB "after"; 35lb clean "before", 55lb clean "after"

My Mom wanted me to post this:
Cara dear,
I just read through all recent posts and all comments on your blog and all I can say is you ARE strong, beautiful and I hope happy. The before and after pictures are totally impressive!
You never like exercise (except horseback riding) and as your mom it is just wonderful for me to see all you are doing to take care of your health ( actually not only crossfit, but mental attitude as well). Way to go crossfit!!!! I love you with all of my heart. MOM
I don't even know you, but I am so proud and inspired by you! I have been looking into Crossfit and will be starting September 1st. You are a ROCKSTAR!

Thank you Jenny!! What affiliate will you be joining? I changed my diet too - but Crossfit can do amazing things for you!
Hey Cara! I will be joining Crossfit Coastal in Wilmington NC. I am very nervous but very excited! Especially after reading your blog! :)
Have fun Jenny - it's hard work, but it's all addictive and a lot of fun!
