Like any good little cult member, I have recruited my sister, Abby for CrossFit.  Now, I know she is an athlete.  She practices hot yoga regularly and has run the Malibu Half Marathon.  But I discovered something more to her this week.  My baby sister is a freaking haus.

She had never touched a barbell in her life, yet totally schooled me maxing out at 93 pounds for her push press on day three.  Meanwhile, I have been weightlifting since high school, yet maxed out at only 83 pounds.  Like I said, she's a haus!

Abb and Mom made a haul to our itty bitty Lululemon Showroom (*We need a proper store here, Lulu!) and picked up these cute tanks for us.  The way I see it, if we are going to get ridiculously sweaty, we might as well look hot.

Last night was my first official class at CrossFit.  I wanted to look cute, but not like I was trying too hard.  So I put together basic black and grey, with a few pops of color.  

Well, I made it through my first WOD (workout of the day).

Warm-up:
60 second handstand
2 sets of 10 each - walking lunges, push-ups, squats

WOD:
AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) in 15 minutes
15 wall balls, 4 lbs
10 kettle bell swings, 18 lbs
10 push-ups

My goal was to make it through 3 rounds, but I ended up at 5 rounds plus 14 wall balls.  Go me!  I thought I was going to die, but I did it.  

 I think Clark W. Griswold, Jr. said it best,
"Alleluia.  
Holy shit.  
Where's the Tylenol?"
