Meet Cindy

I am a lot of things to a lot of people.  I am a journalist by training, a designer/developer and writer for my web clients, a mom for my son, a wife to my husband, and a black belt to my friends in Kung Fu.

I started this blog under the name CindyFit in March 2009, shortly after I made a radical decision.

I joined a Crossfit gym.

I wanted to track my workouts and see what, if any, changes would happen.

I grew up playing tennis, soccer and softball, but I have always been on the verge of being heavy.  In high school and college, I ballooned, hitting my highest weight at nearly 200 lbs.  It took years of slowly changing my habits to claw my way back down.  But I was never thin, or strong for that matter.

In 2005, I decided to shake things up by joining a Kung Fu program.  I added Tai Chi and swimming to my activity during my first pregnancy, but still, I gained 40 lbs.

With the help of a nutritionist and some intense Kung Fu workouts, I managed to shake off the weight and then some.

As a full-time working mom and wife, I could easily throw in the towel and say I’m too busy to be active for myself.  But I love being active too much to do that.

But still, I didn’t feel strong.  Then I joined Crossfit.  This blog documents what happened next.

In June 2010, at 7 months pregnant, my Crossfit coach, Zachary Thiel, wrote about me on his blog.  Check it out!
