You are working out for fitness. Yet you seem scared to death that you won't be able to keep up with the crowd around you or perform up to others standards. You have completely missed the point of fitness. Fitness is yours. You are your only competition. If you can't get it done for you, then YOU have a problem, and Crossfit is only going to compound it. Think about it. A lot of really insecure and lonely people do Crossfit. I'm glad you work out but please consider NOT buying into the whole lifestyle of it. It will lead you astray.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-58689199255471051442011-09-13T05:02:27.161-07:002011-09-13T05:02:27.161-07:00May I put a cat amongst the pigeons here and sugge...May I put a cat amongst the pigeons here and suggest that sometimes it is by freeing the mind and just listening to the body that we really get to know ourselves best. Don't ever let mind control you. Be a passenger in the vehicle. Striving constantly to be something you simply are not is enough to kill you in the end. You are a perfect person afterall. Strive to do what gives you boundless energy and makes you feel on top of the world and if it's crossfit give it your all but if it isn't reconsider what will. I read your post on your heart. There was a lot in that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-82535382461530648782011-08-20T09:48:06.062-07:002011-08-20T09:48:06.062-07:00I loved reading this post.

Give it a shot.<br /><br />More importantly, don't forget that it's just exercise, and there is no winning. It's not a competition, and no serious athlete is able to max out and PR every single workout. Just not going to happen. Consistency wins, and by consistency, I mean, putting in the effort consistently. Bad workouts, like bad games, are just part of being an athlete. Chalk them up to having an off day, and move on.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427406980035562085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-56839771823201301212011-07-06T19:35:33.406-07:002011-07-06T19:35:33.406-07:00One of my faves from Al-anon ...

Way to put your thoughts out into the world -- with sass to boot! <br /><br />And I have to give credit where credit is due -- that mantra is a direct descendant of one of the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: Always do your best, Never take anything personally, Don't make assumptions, and Be impeccable with your word.
