Getting to the Point

Making the decision to take your life to the next level leaves little room for dilly dally. Getting your goals down and tapping into what Tony Robins calls "personal Power" is a daily devotion to yourself to make the change. This decision is the responsibilty to ones self to "ACT NOW".

In all of the time of have spent on this earth, and yes it is a wopping 34 years, it has been only in the last 5 that I have been focused on the idea, the "Truth", that I can design and have my life set up exactly how I want.

Today I will "act now" and I will create my future.

Memories From The Games

Ladies Elite Weight Time todays WOD

Ever wonder what the time for the WOD in the Women's only class elite weight would be?

We have several women that do the elite weight in the Women's Only class, but i always take a guess at what I may be able to do.

Today I wrote the WOD on the board and I just thought to myself that it would be fast. Under 20 min fast. So I decided to jump in Crystal's 10am WO class to take the test.

WOD

500m row
20 med ball clean (E20#)
30 push press DB (E25#)

X 3

13:50


Was not easy... I said fastest, 12:00, I could drop a min but not sure about 2.

Anyway, just in case some of you were wondering.

Oh and please shoot me your time.. I love to see who my competition is..

LYNDSEY?

CLean

Just at 48 hrs of clean eating. Wow I feel a huge difference.

I am anchoring my success at every workout.

I am enjoying my way of life.

On another note, We are having the clothing swap this Friday at 8pm. I am hosting a goal setting workshop at 7. I am excited about both but mostly the goal setting. I was always told to set goals. I would set goals and then forget to look at them. That's not really how it works. You have to look at them. You also have to remember to dream. I have heard people tell me that you have to set "realistic" goals. While this is true, you also have to remember to dream. Those things that seem unreal now can become real with some focus and slight edge step in the right direction.

You can create your life. You can have whatever you want if you put the blueprint together now.

C ya Friday!

Anchoring

I had a great weekend working with Crossfit Central as well as going to a couple of pool parties with my family. I had a great time with a couple of mohito's and pinacolada's. I enjoyed my kaloche as well as the one hour walk around town lake pushing two adorable toe heads and having good growing conversation with my husband. We decided to polish the weekend off by having "breakfast" for supper. What could that consist of...

White biscuits, bacon, eggs, jelly, and of course butter. Oh, don't forget about the two glasses of milk that I had to wash all this down. To top it off, my husband, the oatmeal raisin fan, could not resist the organic pre molded cookie dough he baked to perfection. Because I could care less about oatmeal raisin cookies, I found twenty chocolate morsels left in the freezer to mush into the dough... and yes, I had three while watching a movie with the kiddos.

Why do I share all this with you.. because I too get cravings for things I use to enjoy in my past. The difference is, I now wake up the next day and feel like a truck hit me!

Have you ever heard of anchoring something that you would like to remember or hold onto to benefit you in the future? For example, Two weeks before the games I had a "purple monster" from Baby A's. One Monster made me so sick that I vowed to never again drink one of those or a margarita, with the high fructose corn syrup and all that other crap they put in them, again. I anchored that feeling so well that I, to this day, have not taken part in any margaritas. I now have anchored white bread, cookies I could care less about and over consumption of milk to wash crap down with.. I have anchored the feeling I had as I completed my 125th burpee and 35 muscle ups(some scaled) in the .com class today. (When you remember what feeling at he top of your game feels like and then you let it slide because of some white bread(ie. bad food choices) it'll piss you off.)

I need another goal.

6 weeks till FIGHT GONE BAD! I will zone/paleo( this means I will weigh and measure quality food) for the next 6 weeks and I will commit to my fitness routine.

400 FGB here I come!

ANCHOR that baby!

one month gone ... anyone wonder what i have been doing?

I woke this Sunday morning and was called to blog. Many of you blog readers have been wondering where the heck I have been. I was called out. Not just a friendly "hey why haven't you been blogging?" More like a "hey, people go to you to learn Carey, and they follow you because they are looking to you as an expert in your Field, you should think about blogging again, it is not all about you."

Well, I hear you, and I am listening.

Blogging is intimidating for me. I am not the best person to get my thoughts put onto paper or computer. I am intimidated by uploading pictures, finding you tube videos, and trying to find you people something that will take you to the next level... and that is the problem. I am not here to focus on those things I just listed. I am here, on this blog, to speak my mind. And the truth is if that motivates, great, if it doesn't, some of you won't check out what I have going on.. and that is fine too.

I do know that I am suppose to do something that scares me everyday. And, well, I guess I will start blogging.

I know I have disappeared before and apologized, this time I will just say...talk to you all very soon.

have a great Sunday. I know I will, taking a day of rest with my family will be plenty work.
