After a year away from Cedar Grove CrossFit dealing with some personal and health challenges, today was my first workout back — and honestly, walking into that gym was humbling. I came back heavier, tired, out of shape, and far from my best, but deep down I knew something had to change. It’s easy to come home after work, sink into the couch, and tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow.It wasn’t pretty, and it definitely wasn’t easy, but this comeback is about so much more than just fitness. It’s about rebuilding my health, reclaiming my confidence, finding my energy again, and proving to myself that I’m still capable of fighting for a better version of me. One workout at a time.A huge thank you to Coach Shaka for the support, encouragement, and for helping scale and modify the workout to meet me where I’m at right now. That kind of patience, guidance, and understanding made taking this first step back so much easier.
