Well yes it has ….and for me its been life changing….first off huge thank you to everyone at The Ranch for all the help and support and most important, friendship. Many to thank so here's a short list: first off Sherry Castro for introducing me to Crossfit and for her daily reminders of when she beats me in a daily wod (which isn’t often…haha), Dave Castro...every time I see him he offers me encouragement…I never had anyone in upper management at the juice bar gym come by and shake my hand or offer encouragement, Steve Serrano (Crossfit Marina) who answers every email and has been a tremendous help and is someone I truly respect, Bryan (Crossfit Redding) a great guy and one of the only to get me through Mt Suribachi, Coach J (Crossfit Thunder) who's helping me understand nutrition and always offers advice and finally Kenny Castro without his help I’d be 60 lbs heavier and still shopping at the big and fat store…I’ve improved every time and wod since I started….went from granny pushups to doing 25 legit and from a 6lb wall ball to a 20lb…also a dead lift that started with a bar to 360 lbs…I know for a fact that wouldn’t of happened without his help…and along the way we have become very good friends. I’m extremely excited for the next anniversary as I see big things in the future for me and The Ranch...and I’m hoping by my next anniversary I’m writing about hitting some new goals... weight, running, pull-ups…rock on
