21 Steps to CrossFit Obsession

1. First WOD. The worst hour of your life. Vow never to do CrossFit again as long as you live.

2. Tell your CrossFit war story over dinner. Friends respond in awe. "Man, that shit is insane, you’re so elite".

3. Wake up all overcome with eliteness and decide to give CrossFit another go. Get your ass kicked by a lady twice your age. Now, it's ON.


4. Buy a CrossFit t-shirt. Figure it might speed up your acceptance into the 6am clique. 

5. Go back to CrossFit. Unleash your inner warrior and out-WOD the old lady by 3 seconds. Drive home feeling like a rock star. Must be the t-shirt.

6. Buy another CrossFit t-shirt.

7. Tell more CrossFit war stories over dinner. Like that old lady was Annie Thorrisdottir, but she was no match for you. #inyourfaceoldlady.

9. Start a 30 day paleo challenge. Crave sugar. Like REALLY crave sugar.
