Yesterday, someone told me they loved reading what I had to say on here. To say that made me feel great is an understatement and to make it even better it was minutes after I PRed 'Grace' at our Barbells for Boobs fundraiser.
Writing on here has always been a bit of a struggle for me; I only feel the motivation to write when things are really bad and when things are really good. What I didn't realize until now is that everything between those moments is what makes the good moments better and what helps you through the bad ones. Almost 2 months ago I did my first Crossfit Competition and I was scared/nervous/worried etc. that I would be last. Yes, that's how I think... BUT in reality, who really cares if I was last or first or somewhere in between. In the end, I was disappointed in some of the workouts, but it really exposed where my weaknesses are.
I may consider that one of my "bad" moments, but the training I did before and how I approached it afterwards is what defined that weekend for me. It would have been easy to go back to training for fun and not caring about Crossfit, but instead it I have been trying to make it my motivation to improve my Overhead lifts, gymnastics skills and endurance. The day to day matters, don't let the big good and bad moments be all that defines you. Learn every day, grow every day, train every day, and create who you are and what you want to be each and every day.
