As Cross Fit elements comes to a close (Wednesday is our last official class as a group, even though I have a make up from being away in Vegas last week), we are supposed to identify a few measurable goals that we want to reach. I have become friends with a few women in my class and I am going to propose that we exchange goals for the end of the year to hold each other accountable.
I've decided to put three goals out there:
1) Drop 2-3 dress sizes. This is much more important than weight loss for me because clearly, with as much weight training as I will be doing, I will gain weight before I lose it.
2) I want my name on the board for a lift. The top 3 male and female lifts (per weight) are on the board in the gym. I want to get on the board for at least 1 of them, if not more. I am thinking either deadlift or some sort of press (strict press or push press).
3) I will go to Cross Fit 3 times a week and be around to motivate my classmates and accept their motivation and criticism.
I am proud of myself for continuing to push myself beyond what I thought my limits were. I actually am more proud of the fact that I know when to pull back and not hurt myself or push myself too far. I felt weak and shaky after my 2nd sled push (which I did entirely too fast) and gave myself a timeout. I wasn't afraid to know my limits and step back so I had some left in the tank for this week. That is a big step for me because my brain often doesn't know my body's limit. So here's to much mind-body connections!
