ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!


This whole week has been a good one and yesterday was a great day for me! The W.O.D of 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Split Jerks gave me a boost of confidence with a PR of 260. Then after my workout I coached class at 6:30 pm and the energy from my workout carried into the class setting when it came time to coach the movement! I felt really comfortable after watching a couple technique videos on the main site and watching the recording 0f myself go thru the movement.....  My class rocked it!!   I was excited thatI was able to motivate and educate my fellow crossfitters thoroughly!! I felt like I am finally coming into my own in the Crossfit and training world!! Now I am greatly motivated and feel great about my future (not that I wasn't before) as a coach/trainer and cant wait to continue down this path!!! I dont know... Time to dive in and really become who I want to be! I can only hope that my attitude will be contageous for the loved ones around me!! So here's to the future my friends! Its in our hands!!

The power of change!!


Change….. Change can be a frightening experience if one is always trying to prevent it. But why try and prevent change? Change brings about new experiences, personal growth, and insights. Whether good or bad, there is something to be learned from every new curveball that is thrown at us.

But just as some are trying to prevent change, others are harnessing the benefits of small changes that can be made throughout our daily lives and can compound into something great!! So try not to get discouraged about unfortunate shortcomings because that is what they are….short.  Nothing in life goes according to plan.  A ship sent to the moon is only on course 5% of the time.  So as long as you are true to the goal (landing on the moon), the other 95% of the time spent off course may give you new ideas or a new perspective to help refine your goals. Just get back on course.

 A good way to accomplish these goals in life is to take it into your own hands because great things do not just fall in your lap! So get proactive and write down some personal and life goals you wish to reach. Whether it is losing weight, going on a vacation, bettering a personal relationship with a loved one, or starting your dream job. Write down small, attainable goals to be done daily to dial in on that bigger goal. Such as, eating smaller portions everyday, saving an allotted amount of money each paycheck, making a small comment to your loved one everyday (it’s the small things that count), or research information and logistics to starting that dream job. All of these goals can be reached with a little effort and time so lets get going!! Turn off those TV’s and lets get serious about what makes us happy! CHANGE!!!
