So I’m about 1 week into consistently working out with @crushfit and there are some interesting things to note.

1.) I upped my carbs based on the macros given to me with the Crush at Home guide. I was terrified at first. Trust me, I’m the first to admit I don’t have the healthiest relationship with food. But with a lot of reassurance from the Crush Community on FB I followed through. And let me tell you. I FEEL AMAZING. So much more energy. I’m concentrated at work. I’m not hangry anymore. Lol but really this was a good check for my mental health.

2.) My body is more sore than ever before and I love it. I’ve been doing Crush60 WITH Go! I know, I have a death wish. But Go! Helps me get a quick, but hard, cardio circuit in at home before the gym. Then I head to the gym and can concentrate 100% on lifting with Crush60. My body is changing so fast too. I can feel my abs forming! You can’t see them yet but I can definitely feel them. They’ll come out sooner or later. Lol. But also ALL of my muscle are just popping out. And I know this is in part from the carbs but I feel strong. I’m actually starting to get a small bicep cap. On my way to Aubrey’s arms!

3.) I’ve never sweat so damn much than with Crush’s pre-workout! Today I only did day 6 of Go! For my workout and I was DRENCHED and dripping in sweat. I usually sweat with Go! In general because those workouts are not easy, but not nearly as much as with the pre. Also, it’s a very clean energy. I don’t get jittery, but a very smooth hyper feeling. Haha if that makes any sense. Like I realize I don’t sit still in between reps. But it’s not a jittery feeling. It’s more I just want to go go go. And the flavors are perfect and delicious and addicting.

Thanks again team! I can’t wait to see what else my body and mind can do with Crush!

My before and after photos from my first successful run through Crush60! These photos don’t show most of my gains; the energy, the strength, or the confidence, but they do show some small changes in my body composition.

Between these photos was a lot of sweat, tears, and bruises, some losses of motivation, an injury, a round of bronchitis, and several restarts to be able to finish strong on the latest attempt. 

Measurements (Start -> Today):

Bra line: 40.5″ -> 35.5″

Bicep: 14.5″ -> 15″ ***

Waist: 44″ -> 39.5″

Hip: 52″ -> 50″

Upper Thigh: 30″ -> 29″

Lower Thigh: 23.5″ -> 22″

Calf: 17.5″ -> 16.5″

Despite the awesome changes in my measurements, I’ve actually gained weight, about 5-8 lbs! I really don’t care about the scale, I weigh myself about once every two or three months, I’d be fine staying this weight as long as I gain all the muscle!!

It took three attempts to make it all the way through, but I finally did it!!

I started this round at the beginning of May, and finished this morning. So many ups and downs, but this is by far the most motivated I’ve ever been to go to the gym!

I bought the nutrition guide, but didn’t end up following it at all for this round, instead just focused on eating less junk food and take out, and cook more, while loosely tracking what I was eating to have an idea where I need to make changes. I tried to jump right into the recommended macros on my first attempt, but it felt a little too overwhelming, and ended up being one of the reasons I stopped the first time.

**Progress pics will come soon, but I waited till after my workout and my hands were shaking so badly that I couldn’t take a photo, and don’t have a full length mirror at home**
