Zera Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hello! I am Zera, and I just joined NF and have found myself to be a warrior accepting the occasional quest as a ranger. I am an owner and head coach of a CrossFit but am a competitive weightlifter. A year and a half ago, I was doing great. Newly married, a thriving business, a 16th and 11th national placing in weightlifting competitions, basically, I felt invincible. After an epic day in the gym where I hit a PR snatch and deadlift, the hubs and I decided to start trying for a baby. That's when things went south. In the last year and a half, I have had 2 post-heartbeat miscarriages. We even knew the gender and name of the second. Since then I have had all the testing under the sun to try and find the source of our heartbreaks. Tomorrow, I find out the results and get my new fertility plan. Meanwhile, I let all of my goals fall to a standstill. None of my personal fitness or other life goals mattered anymore. They were all curtains covering my goal to have a child. I between pregnancies and emotions, I let myself gain weight, lost all motivation to train and emotionally detached from a business and community I had spent years cultivating and growing. Despite living a large and adventurous life, I let this past year totally eclipse my bold, quirky, and confident sense of self. I am here to regain my spirit, continue my quest for a child while honoring my mind and body's potential. I can no longer live in fear of winter. I am here to ask for help, be held accountable, cheer on fellow questers and give myself a richer purpose. Nice to meet you. 1 Quote Link to comment

Folks around these parts are nothing short in the support and motivation department. I personally find the challenges to be the most social and involved way to get feedback and woos and all that good stuff, so hope to see you around the boards!!

I'm Sundae and I'm a Warrior ambassador. It looks like you're already sorted on the lifting side of things, so give me a shout if there's anything I can do to help you find your way around the boards. 1 Quote Link to comment
