Why I CrossFit
Community! I think most of CFZ knows I’ve been crushing (HAAA) breast cancer over the last few months. After my double mastectomy, I could not WAIT to come back to CFZ!!! The first day I came back, I smiled sooo much – a super fun day seeing the coaches and my peeps! Mike, Tom and Lauren have really helped me with modified exercises and, before my latest surgery at the end of April, I was actually able to do 30 pull-ups (w/ a blue band, but still happy!! Woot-woot! I never would’ve thought I could be back to pull-ups within 4 months of a double mastectomy. Now, following my latest implant surgery (fun, fun), I’ve had to go back to square 1… but, it’s all good, because I know I can do it! There’s no other way than forward! The CFZ Family rocks! You guys make me strong!!! I also love being fit and working out with friends! I love feeling strong. I feel like it’s a good thing for my kids to see me stay fit, too!
