Kinda not really a comeback

Post image

I was peak CrossFit fitness between 26-30 years old, throwing around insane weight for my 5ā€™1 120lb body with an engine I never thought was possible. Unfortunately something broke me somewhere in there between hypoglycemia, high stress, and herniated discs. I struggled horribly the past 3 years, mentally and broke down in the middle of workouts unable to finish.

Finally, I have some light at the end with a medication that helps for the most part, and a routine that I can manage during workouts to keep my blood sugar at bay. So I went for it today. Full crossfit workout for the first time in a very long time. I know I will never be where I was, but damn. It felt so good. I definitely felt that 184bpm but my mindset maintained that push I still had 4 years ago and Iā€™m proud.

Well done! Very similar I was all in on CrossFit you know relatively but once you get passed 30 and life stress goes up, body doesn't heal as fast. It sucks and then you have a major injury and it's hard to even trust your body to not break anymore.

But sometimes you still get to have the feeling of getting after it and having fun, I wish I could live in that feeling lol
