This was borrowed from an amazingly inspiring woman from Lean Eating (who is a reformed paleo/crossfitter), Amanda:
The Badass's Creed
This is my body. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My body is my best friend. It is my life. I must respect it as I must respect my life.
My body is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will love it as a sister. I will learn its weaknesses, celebrate its strengths, love its parts, and guide its sights. I will ever guard it against the ravages of all damage as I will ever guard my mind and spirit against damage. I will keep my body well fed and ready. We will become part of each other.
Before my Barbell, I swear this creed. My body and myself are the defenders of my life. We are the masters of my life. We are the saviors of my life. Bí láidir.
***
And may we all say, Amen.
Totally bad ass! Perhaps I will recite this as well.
