I weighed 198lbs. 1 pound lost from yesterday. I ate very strict. I did break down and have a larger bedtime snack than normal. But I did stop myself before I wrecked the whole day. I'm still a work in progress. But blogging helps. Keeps me accountable and me speaking in faith, or "writing in faith" remaining positive and motivated.
Yesterday's workout was a real killer. I don't know how some people can get it done in around 14 minutes. My time was well over 20. It just shows that I have a long way to go with longer metcons with moderate weight. That shit kills me.
It's funny because every workout challenges the frik out of me with Regionals programming. It's all very very heavy! HAHA or the gymnastics are unreasonably LOOOONNG. Whatever happened to the normal every day Crossfit WOD's, huh? I mean where's the easy shit gone?
It will be fun, and I'm sure very enjoyable, to one day return to a Crossfit gym and put a whoopin on the class. Dominate.
But for now, I will sharpen my blade with a very rough grinding wheel.
Listen to what Dave Castro says about visualization starting at 2:20. Amazing. Paraphrasing part of it, Dave says he has limited actual practice reps, but unlimited amount of mental visualization to get ready for the real thing.
LOOK What just came in..............
I'm so excited.........
This just completed my home gym. I have been just running a ton and subbing out the rowing for wall balls, burpees, thrusters, and more running. It gets stale. Plus I wasn't getting out of the workout what it was designed. I can't replace 20 calorie rows. Just can't. So ya.........this is an investment that I am happy to pay for!!!
Matt Fraser talking about training, motivation, and mental strength.
Video of more stuff Mat thinks about. This is a sponsor video, but I still like knowing what is in this champion's mind. Why can't I push to the point I have sponsors? What is holding me back? Myself. Myself only. OBSESSION.....................OBSESSION...................OBSESSION..............it must be.

Mikko Salo said after winning the Crossfit Games back in 2009....... "I dreamed of it. Not wanted. I dreamed of it."
Faith Imaging.
If you want to be the champ, you have to train focusing on beating the champ. YOu have to envision how they train, how hard they push. The speed they go. The strength they pull.
Once you are the champ, there is a knowledge everyone else is looking to you to beat you.
Either way, there is a mindset of what you have to do to be the best.
Who am I focused on right now? Josh Wheeler. He's a friend and local competitor. He was 1% in the world last year. My eye is on him. Before each workout I envision what he will do. I pretend he is by my side. I work to beat him.
It was asked of Mikko's coach why he is such a great athlete. His coach said Mikko has a STONE HEAD........very tough mentally.
Mikko, at that time, rowed in the morning a 5k row, then tabata row. That was his morning routine.
