I might as well practice what I preach:-)
1- Pushups (goal is 100 in a row; I found a cool program, if anyone wants to know.) Currently I’m at 61.
2- Flexibility: dedicate 4x a week a minimum of 15 min
3- Strength and Oly Lift: lift 4x a week; to improve on CF Total

I will say that the program Chris has does work! Strongly recommend the program to people! I’ve seen significant improvements with my arm strength and ability to do more pushups. Not quite to being off “woman” pushups but feeling like I’m alot closer and I’m able to do alot more! This was within 1 week of doing the program!

1. Use a weaker band with pull-ups.
2. No more knees with push-ups.
3. Don’t give Cody the evil eye anymore.
October 30, 2009 at 5:17 pm
1. Pullups: continue working towards pull-ups with no bands..down 2 bands for Oct already!
2. Strength: continue working on arm strength with push presses, pushups, pullups, etc..
3. Pushups: be able to do 50 regular pushups in a row
October 31, 2009 at 10:35 pm
To add more detail to my goals:
#1 – I didn’t quite make no bands by the end of Oct so my goal is to at least be able to do pullups with no bands during warmups if nothing else. After yesterday’s WOD, I think I’m very close in bumping bands down once more. Didn’t realize that I unintentionally bumped myself down during the WOD yesterday but it made me figure out kipping even more!
#2 – Be able to do prescribed weight on thrusters
#3 – Start incoporating at least 1/2 regular pushups into WOD

Ok – I NEED to set some goals because October was just a BAD month! The only goal I set for Oct was to re-do my baseline and I lost track of that due to the H1N1 flu that visited for a week. I’m back on track and back in the gym now and need some new goals. We’ll start with what I have below… If anyone can think of others for me – let me know. I know, these are supposed to be my goals but the truth is we all see how each of us is doing – crossfit is competative and if you say you don’t watch what others do you aren’t telling the truth!! So, hold me accountable, tell me where you see I need to work!
Goals for November
1. Redo baseline – perscribed. Last time I attempted it and got through the entire thing except pullups (had 6 to go and my arms died).
2. Pushups – no knees. Getting better at this is going to help with the previous goal
3. Box Jumps – I used to love them and have begun to cringe when they are in the WODS – they have become a struggle for me. I want to be able to pound through them like I used to
4. Eat better!!!!! Get back to no pop and work toward paleo again.
Again – hold me accountable!!!
November 1, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Jeri, you and I could keep each other accountable with the no pop goal. I do so well and then crack!!! I am back to 2 sunkists a day and need to find a way to just quit drinking it!!! What have you tried that has worked for you?
November 2, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I’m not much of a water person so I try to do iced tea (sweetened) and crystal light packets. Both aren’t paleo – not sure if you are trying to stick to that – but when I was doing paleo I allowed that to be my one daily cheat and it really helped me to get my water (even though it was sweetened). I still felt it was better than pop.
Keep up the great work!
October 30, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Main goal- work HARD! EVERY time!
1. Lose 8 lbs
2. Green band only for an entire workout
3. All pushups off knees
4. Quit taking breaks during the workouts
October 30, 2009 at 9:34 pm

October 30, 2009 at 8:22 pm

3. Try this pushup program I’m hearing about
No excuses!

Hey guys, great posts! Sorry I’m a little late to get in on this, but I found a great blog on Dutch Lowy’s site I wanted to share. It’s based on having “cheat” meals in your diet, but I think the point he makes can help with any type of goal you want to accomplish; it’s a great mindset to have!…
29 Oct 2009 So i feel like alot of people are up in arms after hearing my comment about cheat meals. I will come back to this point in just a second but i want to lay some ground work so you know what i am thinking.
First of all lets talk about why I do the things i do.
I drink Coffee black for the caffeine.
I drink Tequila on the rocks for the alcohol.
I eat beef, barely cooked and with little seasoning for the nourishment.
I lift heavy weights so i can be strong.
To me this all seems pretty simple. I think it is important for people to shift their perspective to why they do something. Bottom line, we eat for nourishment so why muddy the waters with food that won’t nourish you? I don’t want you to think that i am perfect with regards to nutrition so here is my reasoning for not allowing/ liking cheating.
Would you cheat on your taxes? (those that would probably aren’t checking my blog so i’ll assume everyone tries to be legit)
The word cheat, to me, is a big negative and makes people feel guilty. Have you ever been accused of cheating in a sport or even a family game of monopoly? It doesn’t feel good. I hate the word, especially when it is used in regards to diet. It gives what you did a negative feel and only sets you up to feel like a failure. I would never encourage someone to cheat on their taxes, so why would i tell them its ok to be unhealthy. If you can’t stick to a healthy diet (when i say diet i mean what you eat on a daily basis over a long period of time, not what you find in “diet” books) you need to shift your perspective and quit using food as a crutch.
I don’t want anyone to feel like i never have a vanilla shake, or go party my ass off occasionally, because i do. I just don’t set out to cheat, nor do i see this as cheating. I have curbed the craving for these things by being disciplined. I no longer crave that sort of stuff. I now dream about steak and bacon…
Shift your perspective, don’t cheat, its never ok.
If you do something, do it for a reason. If you enjoy training and don’t care about seeing results then do the same with your eating. If you train for a reason, and you should have a defined goal, grab a little focus and get down to business.
Drink your coffee for a reason, train for a reason and if you are gonna eat something, eat it for a reason

…Live life for a reason, Amen to that! Keep it up guys!

I’ll admit–I’m scared to post goals for November, but what better form of accountability, huh?
1. Eat better and drink more water
2. CrossFit 5x/week and start supplementing with more running, getting back up to 15miles/week by the end of the month.
3. Get the guts to try an unassisted pull-up–eek!
November 5, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I’m a little late at replying but here goes:
1. SHOW UP! I’ve been letting that snooze button win. No more! I can’t get mad at no results if I’m not showing up and doing the work.
2.Less breaks during the workout.
3. Get better at box jumps- get over my fear of them.
4. Work towards push ups off the knees.
