Cultivating those Relationships

I'm beginning to realize that I pretty much just write whatever I want on this blog while I'm not doing crossfit, but I think that it's relatable either way...hopefully you do too. Things making me happy at the moment: we had a great girls night this week with my girl friends from the restaurant I work at and secondly, I'm not sick anymore so I can get back to the gym (because I can't just keep eating whatever I want forever and hoping it doesnt catch up to me).

 

Ok back to those 2013 goals.

Goal #2: Visit friends that I've been saying I was going to for the past year and continue to cultivate and give energy to the positive relationships I am vowing to have.

 

The good thing about speaking about positive relationships is it doesnt just mean with other people. It means with yourself, your body, your mind, your job, intelligence, your desires, your goals, food, exercise, Crossfit, etc. Anything that you relate to any way should and will be positive (for me at least). What in your life does not serve you? Are you putting in the effort to the people and things that do? Since my main goal is to give energy to these positive relationships, here are my real live steps:

1. visiting my friend Brian from SAS this weekend

2. booked my trip to Ft. Lauderdale to see my friend Rainbow

3. Next weekend heading to NJ for the day to see my friend Ashley

4. Be more consistent with the gym and yoga-this contributes to EVERY relationship I have with myself

5. plan a trip out to Lewisburg to see my friends and their kids

6. Get back to a healthy relationship with healthy food-i.e more protein and less "crap"

 

...always more to come!

 

OH and some crossfit relatedness, I did 4x 500m row repeats, 3 min rest between

times: 1:58, 2:06, 2:08, 2:11

Not bad...one day they will all be sub 2

Starting Right

I've been thinking a lot about how to start my blog right in the New Year. First, I thought of resolutions, fitness goals etc. and then I decided to be a little more broad: my 2013 goals. I will dedicate one post to each goal and really explore where I want to go with it. But of course, first...things currently making me happy: I am going to Boston this weekend to see some of my friends compete at CFNE and I booked my trip to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale to visit another friend in February. Life is always just a little bit better when you have something to look forward to.

 

Goal #1: Only allow for positive relationships in my life, both friends, family and romantically.

[I may not love the Obamas but I LOVE this quote]

Who you surround yourself with has a huge (even if you don't realize it) influence on the way you act, the way you think, the way you perform in life, work, the gym etc. I have been known to always say "I don't want to hurt anyone," so whoever has been in my life, I kept them there. Constantly trying to force certain relationships or 'work things out.' YOU create your life and you decide what kind of influences you want to surround you. I want positivity, so this year, that's what I will give myself.
