Until recently, I had always tried to keep that information to myself while at the box. Except for those who knew me prior to joining CrossFit, not many knew about my little non-paleo secret.
We have a facebook group that a majority of our box belongs to where we post funny and informative comments/photos/advice. Someone recently asked if anybody at the box was vegetarian *gasp!* because their friend was vegan and was thinking about joining. The responses (while mostly in good nature) included "gross" and "impossible!". These made me laugh, but at the same time reminded me why I hadn't 'come out' as a vegetarian to the group. Words cannot express how friendly, encouraging, and accepting our box is, but it is also a group of almost 200 passionate bacon-eating individuals. I get enough (usually ignorant) questions and friendly harassment from coworkers and extended family members, so was quite enjoying not hearing it from my other family - the box!
I recently reached my 6 month CF anniversary, and have started to take my health even more seriously now that this amazing cult has taken over my life (and I am SO happy that it has!). I've been having a hard time finding any information for vegetarian CrossFitters, so thought I'd create a place for us to share our stories, recipes, and advice.
Welcome to Veggie Rx!
