July 1 here we come

I always get the same look when I meet with a coach, personal trainer, or other fitness professional when I tell them that I sail competitively, bike to work more often than not, go to the gym 4-5 times a week, and I just completed a 16 mile walk and am signed up for a 24 hour relay bike-a-thon.

I know right? Who would have thought this plus sized heifer could do all that? Well let me tell you, I know I've always been big, but that doesn't keep me from being active. I had a roommate once comment "you eat REALLY well..." I imagine the statement after the ellipses to be "why are you so chunky?"

I DON'T KNOW. 

Welcome to the last 20 years of my life.

So when I met with Josh at CFSS last night to discuss my fitness goals, current exercise habits, and the like, I wasn't surprised by his subtle but noticeable look of "awhaa?" But the more we talked, the more he got me. I think my level of activity and desire to be fit and strong, regardless of my weight and size, appealed to the proprietor of this particular box. I think he knew I was in it for the right reason, and that I had a demonstrated history of activity that was independent of my outward appearance (aside from my usual posture of badassery).

I start their elements class July 1 and have already started researching boxes in the Vegas area so I can attend 1-2 class when I'm out there in mid July to keep myself on track. This is happening, so get on board.
