So it has been a hot minute since I have updated. And for that I apologize. It has been a crazy few weeks for me. ALOT has happened since the end of May.
First off Regionals! WOW! Let me tell you that was an experience. I went into that weekend with no expectations other then I had met a goal that I set last year in wanting to participate in the event. Little did I know that it would be a much tougher rode to get there this year. But I did it. It was emotionally nothing like sectionals. Physically that was the most demanding thing(s) I have ever put my body through. But it was fun. I ended up in the 35th spot...and enjoyed every minute of it...well maybe not the dead lifts...but still.
I also moved. Up to the Heights! YEAH...for no commute. I love not having to drive over thirty minutes each day. I am also living by myself for the first time ever. That is an adjustment. I miss my roomies, and even their dogs! But at the same time, am really learning to like the solitude at the end of the day.
So now we are half way through June and I am still feeling a little whiplash from the past six months of training, then the move, and the emotional roller coaster of competing. And I find myself asking "Now what?" I feel a little lost, and stuck. Where do I go from here? And then it hit me...I have been working so hard on changing the big things in my life...my weight, my health, my habits, being independent....that I have some what neglected the smaller things. Who I am as a person, my spirituality, personal goals, what I want outside of CrossFit. Sooo it is time to set some goals. Both in my training and my personal life.
GOALS: CrossFit:
1. Muscle ups! Still want to get one!
2. Gymnastic skills...I need to work on my mid line stability (or core, but that is not what we are calling it anymore)
3. Lifting..time to up those maxes
4. FRONT SQUATS, BACK SQUATS, THRUSTERS, SQUAT CLEANS...I hate them all and really need to start doing them...MORE
5. My mental game...still got a ways to go on this!
As for my personal goals...well those are personal...so I have them written down, just not for all to see!) But the biggest one is to stop being afraid....I have to get over my fears and go out there and get what I want!
Now its your turn...What are your goals? Set some. And then do something about them!
Shelbs-- Love the idea of goal setting. I decided to put some of my goals to paper a few months ago. The only thing I would suggest for you is when making goals think S.M.A.R.T. Meaning make your goals- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Bound. It's a great idea to want to up your maxes on your weightlifting, but that doesn't really mean anything. If you set yourself a goal like I want to deadlift 225lbs within the next 3 months, it's more focused and becomes much easier to attain. It's easy for people like you and me to get bogged down by the laundry list of things that we want to improve on...I mean come on..we're crossfit chicks :-) we're never gonna be satisfied But I really believe that all goals should be approached with the SMART philosophy. It gives us an outline on how to actually achieve them and then we'll just be that much more badass!! Lots of Love!
