I woke up yesterday morning with 2 thoughts: 1) I really like that new Black Eyed Peas song “I Gotta Feelin” – it reminds me of an Old Navy Commercial.  This happy/energetic song led me into thought #2) Today is the day that I begin my journey to BadAss-dom.

The urge to be a badass was incredibly overwhelming. I can’t explain it. It just feels right.

But this will be a tough challenge.

Reasons this will be super difficult:

1) My stats: white girl, 5′2″, about 120-ish pounds, deathly afraid of left-hand turns, horses, grocery shopping and movies

2) I’m currently on my period

3) I’m not exactly sure what a badass is or does - I will have to define this.

4) I opened my fridge to make a stellar breakfast to fuel this badass machine — and here’s an un-photoshopped picture of my fridge:

Fridge on Day 1 - bad start to badass-dom

As you can see, I have some seltzer water, some vodka, pepto bismol, dog food and an onion. The rocotta cheese is from a meal my sister made when she visited in May. I keep it in there because it makes the fridge look fuller.

Moving on – went to the gym for a badass workout (I CrossFit, so I already have a few badass points). The WOD today was Nancy. Freakin Nancy! My least favorite exercises are running and overhead squats. Nancy: 5 rounds for time: 400 meter run, 15 overhead squats. I knew a badass wouldn’t pull the “period” card – so I kept my mouth shut and did the workout. I ended up only using 45# for the overhead squats (Rx’d is 65# for women) and it took me 25 minutes.

Needless to say – Day 1 of Becoming a BadAss did not kick off to a good start.

We’ll see how the next few days go…
