Measure your success!!!

We talk A LOT about goal setting at CFRR.  Why?  Because it's the best way to measure your success!

Think about it....How many times have you said to yourself "I'm going to lose weight."??  While that's a great thing to say, just how do you plan on getting there?  Let's change that sentence to "I'm going to lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks."  BOOM...you just set a goal for yourself.  Now you have something measurable to track your success and keep you motivated for that next 5 pounds.

Setting goals and reaching them is an instant confidence booster.  Let me tell you a little story about a class member of mine..some of you know her as Sandizzle, I just call her Sandi LOL :)

Sandi had been attending CrossFit Round Rock classes for about 5 or 6 months, when she came to me and said she wanted to do the Fight Gone Bad competition in September.  I could see her getting stronger in class and knew this was definitely an attainable goal for her.  We talked about goals for her to reach during WODs, and goals for the nutrition aspect as well.  Those were all easy for her, it was the mental part that she would struggle with.  "Can I do it?", "Am I strong enough?", those same questions we all ask ourselves from time to time.  As time went by and the competition got closer, I could see her gaining more and more self confidence.  In her WODs, the way she dressed, even the way she broke out of her shell and began to do things outside of her regular group of friends.

Sandizzle during FGB6...FIERCE!

Sandi and I when her heat was over - she did it!!!

I can't tell you how proud I was of Sandi when the competition was over....we actually both sat on the floor, hugged and cried (above pic) haha!!  It was HER shining moment and I felt honored to have been a part of her reaching a goal she worked so hard for.  To put it bluntly...I live for that sh*t!!  haha!! 

Not only do the coaches at CrossFit Round Rock make your body stronger, we strive to make your mind stronger too.  By setting attainable goals for yourself, you'll build self confidence and push yourself even harder to get to the next goal on your list.  It might not be January 1st anymore, buy it's still a new year and it's NEVER too late to make a resolution.  Set some attainable goals for yourself and get that confidence boost you need to go to the next level!!!

 Much love!!
