Today was the Open House for our MV Crossfit Box. It was really inspiring to see all the crossfitters from other places come. I met a lot of new people and learned a lot from them. The WOD was a team work out so they paired up in 2's by putting their names on cards and then drawing a teamate. The workout looked really hard: TEAM WOD (I think this is right)
20 walking lunges 35#
20 burpees
20 walking lunges 35#
20 burpees
60 pull-ups
60 squats
Rowing 300 calories
*one person at a time
I was a little too intimidated and let my mind get in the way and did not participate in the team WOD! All those little voices in my head telling me I couldn't do it, or that my teamate would really be sorry they picked me because they would have to compensate for my weaknesses.
I have been beating myself up over it all day. Very disappointed in myself for not just doing it. I did promise Kari that I would do the next team workout and I know she's not going to let me forget it! I'm hoping I will have a little more time to build up my self confidence a little more before then.
After the WOD, Eric barbecued up some beef and turkey burgers and we had some great food. Most of what was there was Paleo/Zone so I was really happy. I had a turkey burger (no bun) wrapped in lettuce leaves, yummy guacamole and salsa, paleo hummas, veggies and fruit. They also had beer but I don't drink and it's not Paleo anyway. A lot of Crossfitters live the 80/20 rule or 90/10 rule so then you can have little treats here and there. That's sort of a new concept for me when it comes to dieting. I usually think I have to do it perfect and if I mess up or cheat then I've blown it and end up quitting. Well, that hasn't worked for me at all and I got to where I just quit trying because I knew I would fail. For some reason this time is different for me. I'm really getting this and for today, I am thankful!
