![]() Guys... what can I say but I'm sorry I've been gone so long.
In 2007 I was seriously ill. Crossfit community not just helped but held my hand me through it. This got me thinking. I am where I am because of you guys. My favourite 2 threads are - what are you guys reading and nutrition. I have grown. I have matured. I have developed into who I am because of this community. I could name names but I will save that. We are all very similar in our philosophy of life. I ave read all the must read books and more. I feel privileged to be in the minority. I feel sorry for the masses, knowing what I know. I used to preach but I now realise it's not really worth the effort. For all Crossfit's flaws (you know what they are) I can't say I have ever found a more helpful community. This has inspired me to write the following. What if I hadn't found Crossfit? (and this is at random) I would never have found War Peace I would never have read Michael Polin I would still be eating McDonalds I would think fat is bad I would be bodybuilding I would still be wearing Asics shoes wit lots of support I wouldn't know about POSE I wouldn't drink olive oil I wouldn't appreciate the outdooors Vibram 5 s Kettle Bells Random lifting of random things Running free Riding my bike for miles I wouldn't have got through having a stroke and coming out the other side better than when I suffered it You guys know who you are. You helped me though it. Jay Cohen Bacon Meat muffins Paleo Cookies Olympic Lifts Kefir - I drink it every day Goose and duck fat Sweet Potatoes Skipping Ropes Rosstraining Pullups Nike Frees Literature I remember once I said I was going to be in New York and got invited to train with a group of guys randomly on the board UFC - I always loved it and it's loved here Green leafy veggies Coconut oil Making my own nut butters Not giving a **** about what you wear in the gym Lifting shoes Zone diet? No but Paleo yes. To a degree Not preaching about food but just live and let live Gomad Starting Strength Gymnastics Coach Sumner Recipes Loving and really appreciating the outdoors - really this is HUGE Jees - I got advice on feeding my baby! There's a whole lot more. I'm just brainstorming. You guys changed my life. Gave me a reason to live. Gave me a code. Made me well. Gave me inspiration and something to aspire to. Community - that's what it is. For that I love you. I want back into the fold. I'm sorry I've been away for so long. 2 kids in 18 months have distracted me! If you are new here fall in. I hope this is the same place it was when I stopped coming here. I hope the same guys are here. I'm back in spirit and in soul. |

Geez...THAT was a great post Jaime! Welcome back and congrats on the new babies. I offered up some thoughts on just that on the Main Page this morning in Sunday musings.

Re: Amigos - What if I hadn't found Crossfit?
If I hadn't found crossfit:
- I'd have $1,150 more in my checking account - I'd still have two functioning shoulders - I'd still be able to squat 395 x 3 - I'd never have been talked into the "Zone" and lost around 10lbs of hard earned muscle. - I'd have never been told by a trainer that "bench press is lame, it's non-functional." - I'd have never learned that a snatch is actually a row and a shoulder press. - I'd have never found such great looking "ladies" in the gym that know more about steroids than I do. |
