Checking to see if your Alive!

If you just got up and started dancing you probably are... If you didn't you probably aren't!

Simple test

This group is one of my new favorites!

Oh, and by the way... We will be at the Jay Z concert in November on the 32nd Row.

Oh, and ACL is next weekend!

Feel the music!

Become More!

Where you are at Today does not represent where you will be Tomorrow. Anybody that says you can't do something different or become anybody better is literally not worth your time. Strive for exactly what you want and do not stop prior to achieving it.

Once upon a time!

You sucked at everything.

I remember very specifically being 12 years old and trying to do a pushup in front of my 2 older brothers. I had a nice and round belly I developed by eating a whole lot of sugar. Little Debbie Snacks, and Sodas were a couple of specific food groups I consumed at least half a dozen of each a day. I couldn’t get my heavy butt off the ground.
I also remember my sophomore year in High School having 1 pullup as my best attempt for a max reps set! Before these things, I was the only kid in 2nd grade to fail 4 Times trying to run a mile in under 15 minutes. My mom had to come to school during that PE time of my day and run and encourage me to finish it.

I hated to work out! I sucked at it!
How the Hell did I make it a lifestyle? I figure to really be driven in anything you must at some point really have been bad at it.

9 Months ago I went to my first Crossfit Level 2 Cert under the new grading system. I was overly confident and didn’t pay any attention to the Details of what the Cert Criteria was about. I did not do one thing right and let that cert failing the damn thing.
I was so disappointed in myself. I had to come back to Austin to a team of excellent trainers whom I am supposed to be the leader of and I wasn’t even a Crossfit recognized Level 2 trainer.

Since that time 3 of our trainers took the same Cert and Passed. I knew that I was going have to retake the thing and crush it.
This weekend I did. I came to San Diego (Home of my Great Mom) for the retest. This time I took it much more personal and I was engaged on what I had to do to make the grade my CFHQ’s standards!
This time I am happy to say I came out on top and did very well!

I also did a workout that addressed more of my weaknesses. I am constantly improving and I will not settle for mediocrity.

Try this workout out. I would not have been able to finish it 12 months ago.

My Favorite Drink

I am overly spoiling myself with this new addiction I have discovered. Coconut water has defiantly become a beverage I frequently grab a hold of and lately find myself driving a few miles to get one if I need to.

In Austin, hydration is key. Especially as a Crossfit Trainer moving around and working out will cause my body and mouth to dry up quickly.

This stuff is loaded with electrolytes naturally(especially potassium) and I notice an immediate difference in how I feel every time I use it. This is definitely the best tasting and most beneficial hydration beverage I have found so far.

So now all I have to figure out how to purchase this stuff without paying the full price tag. Obviously buying in bulk has be be the way to go but so far I am not noticing anything online that would show me a sufficient discount.

If you know of a better source let me know! If not I may be making a trip to Brazil to pic some up.
