2012 Training Goals

I don't really do the whole "New Year's resolution" thing because I don't need a new year to get back on track because I STAY on track ALL YEAR. 

However, as I've mentioned before, I do like to constantly challenge myself and stay motivated with my training by setting goals. I accomplished most of my goals for 2011, but it is neverending!

Here are my training goals for 2012:

-Gain muscle(I want to gain 5-7lbs)
-Strict muscle up on rings
-Muscle up on a straight bar
-Bench 150lbs
-Multiple 1 arm pushups
-210lb squat(I have been stuck at 205 for the last year!)
-250lb deadlift
-Handstand walk
-Bodyweight overhead squat(120lb)
-Splits(yes, still haven't gotten these yet-need to spend more time on my stretching!)

I just wanted to say that I am so thankful for discovering CrossFit. It really has changed the way I view my training, and fitness in general.

It has taught me to constantly challenge myself, and  I have learned so many new things to add to my training that I would have never discovered without CrossFit.

Through CrossFit, I have learned what my body is truly capable of.  I've discovered how good it feels to push yourself past what you thought you could do; to not give up when you think you have nothing left in you.

It has made me want to be better, stronger and faster, and I am no longer satisfied with just training for looks alone. I can't wait for what 2012 has in store for me!

What are your goals for 2012? If you have none, then now's the time to set some! And don't make it something like, "lose weight", or "get in shape".  Try something new and set some strength goals for yourself. 

Maybe make it a goal to do 10 perfect pushups or be able to squat your bodyweight or do a pullup. And don't you dare give up on that goal. Keep at it until you get there! You will feel AMAZING when you finally reach your goal!

Your training will be so different and much more exciting when you have strength goals that you're trying to achieve, rather than just going through the motions because you feel that's what you have to do to get "skinny".

Make 2012 different! Make it better than 2011! You can do anything you set your mind to!

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
