Rest day!
Carol working on her deadlifts – very cool!
I got a letter from my mom in the mail today. Included was an article from the Star Ledger, a New Jersey newspaper, about a girl who wanted to join the Army but was close to 275 pounds. The story talks about her specifically, and also discusses how the obesity epidemic in the United States is impacting armed forces recruiting. The girl in the story, Vasti, started working out at CrossFit Ignite in Westwood, N.J. and has lost 112 pounds so she could join the Army. Very cool. Check out the article here:
