CrossFit...even on the bad days.

Great day at the gym, although I will admit, I wasn't "feeling" the 2-a-day workout today. I am glad I did it though. Part of my problem is that I have just been emotionally exhausted and sad. My husband has been working out of state for almost 6 weeks and I just miss him terribly.
CrossFit has been my therapy in the past and it is now, as well.
One of the beautiful things that sucked me into CrossFit is that when I walk into the gym, my problems, stress or worries are left at the door. During the time that I am in the gym, when I am in the WOD, my thoughts are focused only on what I am doing.
So when I have a bad day, I still make myself do that WOD because I know that when I leave the gym, I will feel like I have done something to be proud of and that I will be able to take on the day.
Even if it's the worst performance, the fact remains that I still got off the couch. I pushed myself. I tried harder. I sweated. I overcame.
