Welcome to REALITY CHECK!
Hello! My name is Linnea Gerspach! My friends call me Nea!
I am 33 years old, a wife, a mother of two beautiful children, an athlete and a homeschoolin momma!
The purpose of this blog is to share with you, not always daily, my journey throught the realities of life, love and health.
We all have hopes and dreams, goals and aspirations, but sometimes we need a reality check!
For example one day I would REALLY like to qualify for the KONA IronMan... reality: I have two children of whom I homeschool, I live near Seattle, Washington where swimming in open water any time of the year is cold, and as much as I would LOVE to train for this, reality really does not make it possible.... for now! :)
I LOVE to workout! Really! I love sweating, lifting heavy and killing it in the gym. And yes, though it sounds a bit masicitic, I LOVE to push myself to the point of puking! This just tells me I pushed hard, and that's a good feeling!
I love to try new things and am not afraid to go toe to toe with anyone!
Although I have NO plans of skydiving, ever! My friend Will, who does this for a living would be disappointed, sorry Will! :)
I am learning to live a healthy life! Three years ago I wore a size 22 and had no self esteem, today I wear a size 14/16 and have loads more self esteem and confidence! I have a lot of learning to do and about three pants sizes to go to reach my goal, but I know I will do it!
I love learning and teaching others how to have fun while working out!
I LOVE CrossFit! And if you have never tried it, I HIGHLY recommend you do! NO matter where you are physically, CrossFit will change your life for the better! Click here to find a CrossFit box (gym) near you!
But I also believe you should find and do something you LOVE to get you healthy! If you have always wanted to kyak, learn to kyak! Climb, learn to climb! Or simply play with your children, start today by walking to your front door and back to the couch and tomorrow add two more steps then yesterday!
If you are one of the many people who feel it's impossible, you NEED to watch this video!
"Don't judge those who try and fail,
judge those who fail to try!"
Many blessings to you today!
