How was 2016 awesome for me? I joined Crossfit and got to know a lot of amazing and inspirational people!! ๐
And I’m so glad you did!!๐
I am glad you joined to!! oh and Matt too! ๐
How was 2016 an awesome year? It was awesome because I didn’t let the drawbacks ruin an entire year for me. I was not without struggles and some were pretty major. I took a lot of time this year to really enjoy the little things, for example, I was driving in my truck yesterday and could feel the heat from sun shining through the window on my face and thought, damn that’s nice! That’s a small moment of pure joy that I’m not willing to let any situation take away from. So I’m most proud of being able to recognize and give power to the simple pleasures of 2016.
I love thisโค

Joined Crossfit in March and stuck to it. Now I’m pretty close to the best shape I have ever been in and it feels pretty good. I have new goals for 2017 set. Just need a few plans to achieve them. A big thanks to the CFM family as my success is mostly because of your encouragement, great coaching and comradery!!

I need to work on breathing! On the last set, I got lightheaded after the first push press. I’m pretty sure this has to do with not breathing properly.
Tara, it was nice to see you and proud of pushing yourself! Thanks also for reminding me to sign up for Rowuary!!! ๐
Blake, thanks for the TLC. Nice music this morning ๐

QOD: I’d say I’m pretty proud of the fact that I have made a commitment to myself to go to the gym as often as I can because it builds me up physically and emotionally. I don’t know how sane I would be if I hadn’t figured this out earlier.

Didn’t think I was going to make it through that last round. QOD: 2016 was amazing, I got to have a whole year off to spend and be a mom to Jett and I’ve loved every minute of it. My family moved back from BC and its so nice having my sister so much closer and of course Crossfit has been fantastic. Mike tried hard for a while to get me there but I’m so glad I finally went. I am enjoying it so much more then I thought I would and can’t wait to see how much I improve in 2017.

Today Robert and I joined the nooner class..
My numbers 45-50-55-60-65
The last round sucked and I almost didn’t do it..
Robert’s numbers 50-55-65-65-70
He did his math wrong when he did the 65 but was super proud of himself when Blake pointed it out ! I encouraged him to try the 70 and he was all smiles after that!!
Thanks for the great class Blake, loved the quirky tunes and the fun, supportive class atmosphere!
How has 2016 been an awesome year?? Although at first I beat myself up for the amount of classes I didn’t go to, how lazy I felt and how badly I ate … Then i seriously thought about it.. I reaffirmed how glad I am that I joined CFM! I did 2 partner competitions (with some amazing people) I did the Hopper, and I stepped way out of my comfort zone and went to Portland for something completely new, a Goruck challenge!! I also have a new sense of self confidence, (although I am still battling some old demons) …
I have met so many amazing interesing people at CFM and some of them I call my friends ! I see people of all different walks of life just trying to be healthier versions of themselves, and I am glad to have met them!!.
So 2016 was pretty amazing! Thanks to all for being a part of it..

Missed the Bear Complex earlier this week, so decided to give it a go during open gym. I haven’t done this since 2013 and it was way harder than I remember:
The Bear Complex
7 sets unbroken @ 35-50-60-65-70
1 power clean
1 front squat
1 push press
1 back squat
1 push press
In 2013, I did this at 35-50-65-75-85, so well below my PR. I’ll blame it on the Christmas & New Years diet.
