- Andy, Cindy, and Luke
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!
