OFF DAYS- Random babble-Im bored!

So I was amping myself up before going to workout today and felt like I was going to have a solid night.  I jogged to the gym and started my warmup feeling really good.  Handstand walks, no problem.  L-Sits, again no problem.  Too many people were in the gym to do the presribed rope climbs so instead I worked on my ring muscle-ups.  I felt heavy and slow with my transitioning.  As I moved into the next part of my workout I loaded the bar to do some warmup clean and jerks.  Again I felt slow and sluggish.  I added wait and attempted to sike myself up before the lift.  Again slow and sluggish.  I stood there glaring at the bar pissed off and finished off my last 4 sets forcing myself to keep going as much as I really felt like I just wanted to skip it and move on.  I felt very frustrated and defeated in my head.  What is usually ligtweight for me felt like I was 1rep maxing.  As I finished and moved onto the next portion I thought to myself, ok, this is where I will pick it back up and feel good about my time spent in the gym tonight.  As I got into my metcon I felt awesome throughout my double unders until I grabbed the kettlebell and what was a 53lb'er felt like a 200lb'er.  I had to break up the repetitions and once again I fought that struggle battle in my head to keep going.  All in all I finished my workout but not anywhere close to what I was planning for.  Where did I go wrong?  I should have destroyed that workout.  I should have done what I tell other people to do and to just keep moving and don't let it get in your head.  Definatley got into my head tonight and all I want to do is go to bed.  I really wish I could be going to bed laying next to my monkey because it seems like everything is better when she is around.  I guess I just need to sleep on it.  Take it as an off night but at least I did go and do it unlike others that are doing who knows what instead.  I know I still got something out of the workout.  I know I am going to be sore tomorrow.  I know I am going to try harder every.  I know I will get better.  I know I always in the end love the feeling of kicking my ass wheather it be a bad day or good day.  Results will happen.  My job is to keep going. 

MY GOALS

I believe it is always good to have goals and to write them down for certain things you set out to accomplish.  I have chosen my first blog to be on goals I have for myself and what I want to achieve in life.  Without an end result, what are you working for?  Unless you are fully satisfied where you are currently, then will you only have to maintain.  Who wants that?  These goals are just a few that I have at the moment and thought I'd put them down here to look back on.

1.  I will qualify for the Crossfit Regionals in 2013.

2.  I will clean and jerk 215lbs by January 1, 2013.

3.  I will snatch 175lbs by January 1, 2013.

4.  I will find a house/apartment for me and Bre by February 2013.

5.  I will write a song and play it

6.  I will eat 100% paleo for the next 30 days starting October 29, 2012.

These goals are not in any particular order but 5 out of the 6 have a date that I can realistically see myself achieving.  The reason I do not have a date for goal #5.  Well I've never really written a song before but have put down some words on notebooks at times.  I think this goal is something I am going to spend some time on once or twice a week.  I find goals #1-3 coinciding with one another.  I feel by achieving goals #2 and #3 I will have a strong chance to make goal #l.  Goal #4 means a lot to me not only because it has to do with the one person I love most in this world but because it is where we will be living for the next couple years.  Goal #6!  I am jumping back in the deep end and do not plan on looking back.  It is time I stopped being lazy and start getting my nutrition back on point.  This one comes with a lot of motivation and I got the idea again from someone I know :p

I have come to find out goals can be anything in life you want to achieve.  Wheather is be a short term goal or a long term goal.  If it is something you truely want and desire then nothing should hold you back.  Take what you want.  Leave no regrets.
