I’m Addicted

The Crossfit gym is my sanctuary. I look forward to going every day because I can feel myself getting stronger each time I show up and love the stress relief that it gives me after I’m done. For me there is no better feeling than laying on the gym floor after completing a soul crushing workout that leaves you gasping for air and thanking god that it is over. I guess you could say that I’m addicted to that feeling and that moment of accomplishment because it keeps me coming back for more every single day. But when is does it become too much?

I have been hitting the pool as often as I possibly can, especially since I have endured a hip injury that has made me take a step back from working out as much. You might be able to see the bruising on my right hip in some of the photos which was from a PT appointment that I had the day before this shoot.
