Relieving stress

It is 3:45 and I am literally at the end of my rope at work. I don't know why exactly. I just have little patience for stupidity today. I think part of this is the fact that Cody and I have been going nonstop all summer and I am just tired. We spent the past 2 weeks painting and packing and there is still a TON of work to do for the house. We are OFFICIALLY moving this Saturday with the moving truck. I am excited about this but I also know how short this will make the weekend. Still lots to pack up and then we have to clean the apartment. It will be SO nice when we get all settled again!

We did manage to find some time to relax this past weekend. This last weekend was Seafair and we went with some friends on a boat on Sunday. The weather wasn't the best but we managed to have a good time. I will definitely post a few pics soon!

I am just itching to get out of the office right now! I have found that whenever I get super stressed, the only thing that makes me feel better is usually working out and this past year, this has been Crossfit. I don't know who all has heard about this, but it seems to be all over now. There are a million reasons why I love Crossfit. For one, you go in and you don't have to think about what you are going to do. The WOD (workout of the day) is posted and that is what you do. The workouts are usually between 15-30 minutes. There have only been a few that took me longer than that but trust me, the short WODs leave you lying on the ground and tired. I love this. I also love the camaraderie of everyone. I am not sure how all crossfit gyms are, but Cody and I have become friends with most of the people we workout with. Part of the reason I look forward to going besides working out, is to see friends. We also push each other and encourage each other. Everyone wants to get the best time, but we are always cheering each other on to push hard and beat their goals. I love this. It reminds me of when I played sports and keeps it interesting. For example, when I got my first unassisted pullup, so many people were excited and congratulating me, and yesterday when a girl did RX for the first time, I was right there to congratulate her and super stoked for her. Oh ya, RX is doing the prescribed weight of the WOD...sometimes it is too much weight and you have to do a modified version (which I still do on some WOD's).
Lastly, even though I could probably go on and on, I love that when I leave, I literally have no stress. My body is so tired and I am just ready to go relax. THIS, is why I love Crossfit. I think that everyone should have something that allows them to relieve stress whether it is working out or reading, etc...it is important to do this so you can be sane and ready to take on the world.

So with that, I am going to finish up my last hour of work and then head to Crossfit.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
