While spending a year losing 45 pounds, I often wondered what I would do once my weight loss journey ended. I found it in CrossFit. Now I'm gaining weight (beautiful, wonderful muscle) and challenging myself physically and mentally every day through my new sport. The best thing is that it also makes me better at whatever I apply myself to, in and out of the gym. This blog is a chronicle of my adventures as I continue to explore and grow my capabilities and then challenge them.

Bowling and Golf
Two things I haven't done in a long time. I went bowling last night and haven't been in a few years. I've always have this weird overhand bowling technique because I couldn't hold on to the ball. The person that took me bowling did an amazing job of teaching me to bowl underhanded like a normal person and also teaching me how to aim much better. I even got a 150 on one of the games, which is pretty darn good considering this isn't something to do much. The same person took me to the driving range today. My golf experience is comprised of: extensive mini golf playing through my life, one previous trip to the driving range and one time playing in a best ball golf tournament, during which I only go the best ball during some of the putting aspects. Anyway, today I went and I quickly got the hang of hitting the ball. I didn't have many misses at all and tried out a variety of clubs. Apparently, I can hit the ball a respectable distance and I get it to go straight most of the time. I was told that I'm ready to head out for real golf so maybe I'll get the chance to do that soon.
