Tonight Was All About The Snatch

 
The mental game continues - Having an 8:30pm class gives me far too much time to let my inner voice tell me all the reasons why I shouldn't go to class. Really bad sleep last night due to a terrible ear ache from the wind paddle boarding yesterday and another busy day at work today. Need to prep for the weekend -so much to do and feels like not enough energy to get it done in my free time. Excuses, Excuses.
 
The great thing is I told that voice where to stick it and headed to Crossfit.
 
That annoying voice is getting old real quick. It used to have so much power over me but now it drives me to prove it wrong over and over until hopefully one day that negative lazy voice is gone. 

Tonight we learned about "the snatch" a power move that makes you feel pretty damn strong and powerful while doing it. Funny how I look at these moves while the instructor demonstrates and I think I'm going to kill it and then reality sets in and I have to give the ego a reality check over and over.
 
I'm a competitive person but I realize more and more each class that for now my only competition is myself. I will reap the rewards of what "I" put into each class and I don't look at what weight or how fast other people are doing things. If I give it my all - I will improve and in time I will do amazing things.
 
Time to hit the showers and off to bed. Hoping I'm going to be able to lift my arms tomorrow. :)
