It's On You - Jerry's Corner...A View from the Plus Size
November 8, 2009
Who can I blame for my plus size...maybe my great great great great great grandparent sent me a fat gene...or maybe (this is my favorite) you have a slow metabolism...maybe it's a food allergy...believe me, not much in the food category has escaped my mouth through the years, so an allergy was not in the cards. Then it hit me my fellow Crossfitters...as I looked in the mirror, the answer I was looking for was staring right back at me...it was ME...little old jerry...it wasn't my mom or dad's fault... or some love gone wrong...or the school bully picking on me...it was me and no one else but me. My plus size fram was a result of too many drive "buys" at micky d's and not enough dedication to my health and well being. Kenny has a line he uses when you screw up your diet or don't give enough during your workout..."It's on you."...and that says it all...no one to blame but yourself...hate to say it, but that's the plain hard truth. Kenny got a text from this guy up north wanting to go to the Crossfit Games someday soon...he was texting from a bar drinking beer...and in pure Kenny form he responded that he had no chance since he had no discipline on the weekends...and that wanting something is not enough, you must act on it. Just remember, you get out of Crossfit, what you put into Crossfit.
