Now I'm Annoyed

I am annoyed with my body. I am aggravated that it is breaking down.
I found this quote in another blog and I found that it states perfectly how I feel right now about my knee and the upcoming knee surgery that I am putting off but, will have to happen sometime soon.
" Not that we are bothered by the surgery but more by the loss of time it will take from us"   
After just experiencing the arthroscopic procedure and realizing that I most likely will wake up after any surgeries in the future, I am now trying to strategize the best time to have the more extensive surgery and when it will be the least disruptive to my "training". (I use the word training loosely)

Bottom line, Crossfit makes me happy and I don't want to be away too long. I am just going to have to crush those upper body workouts and take this as an opportunity to develop my upper body strength :)

.......A Reluctant Competitor
“It was a ‘pinch-me’ weekend,” said Greg. “I am so proud of Becky. She has never, ever competed before, and look at what she did. Her self-esteem and confidence are through the roof.”
Here’s the thing about Greg: He won his division, coming in first in four of the five events, but all he wanted to talk about was his wife. A cool-looking dude with long, white hair and a laid-back attitude, Greg told me that the change in his wife’s self-esteem and confidence was remarkable.
“She’s soaring,” he said.  Keep Reading..
