Fitness is a huge part of creating balance with a hectic career, and all of the other things life throws at you.  CrossFit Northlake is an awesome piece of the puzzle for me – I check the WOD first thing every morning.  It’s a motivator.  I may look like I’m dying in class but I promise I’m having way more fun than anyone – best hour of my day.
