PCF's ECTD 2.0
On Monday April 8, 2013 all of us participating in PortCrossfit's Eat Clean Train Dirty Challenge 2.0 received an email in which it stated, "Females to be measured need to wear a sports bra and shorts" .....I swear i heard every women at PCF gasp!! Then my phone just started to explode!
PANDORA'S BOX
My initial reaction was "oh shit, i don't even own a pair of workout shorts...FOR A REASON PEOPLE!!" Then i decided to do what the "tough" girls do and go SHOPPING!! I figured if i had to be measured (GROAN) i would do it in typical "Elisa Fashion"!! As i am shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods, in of course the Reebok section...i am getting FB messages, texts and phone calls of distress from other PCF ladies!
MY ADVICE
Listen Ladies getting measured sucks! None of us like doing this! Lets remember a few things...
1. YOU are MORE than your measurements, a dress or pants size or a number on the scale!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ROCK IT!!
2. You joined crossfit to change, working out and what you eat are key to being healthy and a better Crossfitter...so use this paleo challenge as a tool!
3. Our Coaches, just by looking at you(workout gear doesn't leave much to the imagination ladies) can GUESS pretty accurately how much you weigh, what your body fat is without measuring you because this is their JOB! Sooo Ladies they already know!
4. Focus on ALL that you HAVE accomplished so far in crossfit not what you have not!
5. get a manicure, pedicure, a new outfit, a new bra & new panties from Victoria's (don't wear it to be measured in please!) , SOMETHING that will make you feel PRETTY , then get measured! If that doesn't help, Drinking alot of alcohol works , but make sure you have a designated driver! Hey is any of that Drunken watermelon left from the PCF BBQ?
6. I can guarantee that our coaches are NOT lying awake at night texting each other saying "can you believe the body fat on that one? hehehe" Listen I have it on a good source that Ryan is lying awake at night trying to figure out diabolical ways to torture us, Kyle is working on his one-liners for each class and figuring out how to make us at PCF into a reality show, Tyler is updating his play lists on spotify hoping to be the "David Guetta" of the Crossfit (World Wide) Community, and Mike is just trying to figure out how to keep the 7pm class organized cause they all have ADD! They are busy ladies !!
7. I can PROMISE you, our coaches are discreet, sympathetic, understanding and will treat you will respect when measuring!! and yes tissues will be supplied if necessary!
Seriously I do remember what it was like to be measured by my coach last year for ECTD, how i took pictures in my bikini in support ( which i posted on my blog, and those pictures had to be verified by my coach, oh that was fun) for the Luroung Paleo challenge...how embarrassed and humiliated i felt because now my coaches KNEW my measurements...but each time i learned something new about myself, each was a challenge i met and all of those experiences made me grow as a person and a crossfitter! YOU CAN DO THIS LADIES!! WE ARE CROSSFIT STRONG!! LIVE BOLD!!
OH so what did i choose...booty shorts or a skort to be measured in? lmao you will just have to stay tuned!
You better not be wearing a Skort!
