So I have to problem figuring out my activity level? For instance I have a desk job for 8 hr days, but I get up early and walk and then generally either do more cardio and crossfit in the evenings. Would I be at sedentary because of my desk job or active due to my additional exercise?

    If your are referring to MFP, your activity level does not include your exercise. They expect you to log it and it will add to your calorie goal.

    So you are likely sedentary or lightly active. Then you log your cardio and CrossFit on the days you do them.

    Sedentary, since you have a desk job and sit most of the day. You can add in your exercise and eat some of them back.

    Every time I think I might be anything more than lightly active, I look out my office window and see the water cooler delivery guy. haha. I might work out pretty hard 4 times/week, but I don't do anything close to THAT all day, every day.
