Ladies and gentlemen, it is time that we start a new tradition! Each month we will feature some fun information about one of our CrossForters. So, without further adieu, our CrossForter of the month for March is Alicia!
1. When did you start doing CrossFit?
I started Cross Fit in November 2009. Best decision I've made in a long time....even though I'm still no where near in shape! I try really hard though!
2. What is your full time job?
I am a Sales Development Manager for Weiman Products. Everyone should become a fan on Facebook!
3. What is your most embarrassing moment?
Oh boy.... My most embarrassing moment actually includes Bill (believe it or not!). It's a very long story, so I'm not going to tell the entire thing. In the first grade, we had reading time. During that reading time, I raised my hand and asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom. She said after reading time. Being five years old, I had a hard time holding it. I tried and tried, and asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom again. She said no, after reading time was over. So, needless to say, I peed my pants. Since Bill's last name starts with a Y and mine with a Z, we sat right next to each other. He looked at me, asked me if I was peeing, and I told him that I was extremely hot and I was sweating. Like anyone could believe that!!! So I had to go to the principal's office, call my mom, and have my mom come pick me up. My mom was FURIOUS with my teacher, and had to be calmed down by the principal. So that my friends, is my most embarrassing moment.
4. Do you have any pets?
I have two dogs.... Dozer who is half black lab, half Rottweiler and Ellie who is a Swiss Mountain Dog.
5. Which is your least favorite movement we use in class?
That's a toss up between burpees and box jumps. If I had to pick one, I would say burpees.
6. Least favorite workout?
My least favorite workout is one that I haven't even done yet, and that would be running a 5k. I dread the day I have to do it because I am NOT a runner!! My least favorite workout right now that I have done is Elizabeth because I did it last night and it sucked!
7. FAVORITE workout?
My favorite workout was one I did recently. This workout seems like a real pussy workout compared to most that we do, but I liked it because we did sit ups! And because when I was doing pushups, I went a whole band down!
50 push-ups , 10 sit-ups, 40 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, 20 push-ups, 40 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, 50 sit-ups
8. FAVORITE movement?
I used to really like the dead lift, then I found out I was using my back more than my legs=OUCH! Doing it right hurts!! I would have to say back squat is the movement that I like to do the most.
9. What is your favorite paleo dish?
I haven't been eating any recipes. Charlie and I just eat meat, meat and more meat. On the weekends, we'll usually get a good strip steak or ribeye and melt some goat cheese on it. I would have to say that's my favorite!
10. If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
That's easy. I would be invisible! I would love to follow people around and find out who they really are behind closed doors!!
11. What would you do with a million dollars?
The first thing I would do with a million dollars is make sure that my mom would never have to worry about money ever again. I would pay off all her debt, send her on several vacations anywhere she wanted to go, then I would open a big dog rescue.

And, after that peeing story, I am NOT working out anywhere close to you anymore.... HA!
Congrats Alicia!

This is a fun idea jennie, I vote to keep it up. And Alicia, that million dollar question had a good answer, it was only missing one thing. I would call my friendly CrossFit Financial Advisor, Heath, and get his help.
I once had a lab/rottweiler mix, great dog!
