Friday & Saturday - 30 - 31 December

The break is ALMOST over and it's about time to get back at it in the '62 Room!  I've missed working out with the morning crew!

In preparation for the New Year, we are going to set some New Year's Resolutions...but  not in the typical "I'm going to go to the gym more" or "I'm going to lose some weight" - those generic resolutions NEVER work!  So, in order to have some chance at success, we are going to use a little PL100-action to get things moving in the right direction, and we are going to set SMART goals.

SMART goals are: Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Time-based.

As an example:
I will attempt 25 double-unders every morning for a month as part of my warm-up routine.  

This hits all the points in that the goal is very specific (25 DUs daily), it is measurable (did you do 25 DUs or not), action-oriented (doing something), realistic (attempting 25 DUs should be realistic, it didn't say "100 unbroken DUs" or anything like that - that might be a bridge too far for most folks, especially daily!), and time-based (daily for a month).

So think about what you want to improve on and set a SMART goal to get there!!!!!

Post SMART goal(s) for 2012 to comments.  Remember - keep it REALISTIC and focus on 1 - 3 goals at most!!

Mon - Wed, 26 - 28 DEC

Keep up the fire with interesting WODs in interesting places!  Erin M is rocking it with OHS with bikes, Leigh had the 12 days of Christmas, Sodak and Tex are rocking it at Military Athlete...keep it up!

I still have only received ONE photo...so take a CrossFit inspired photo and send it to blackandgoldcrossfit@gmail.com - I'm hoping to get several awesome pix of folks on vacation!

Take it easy and continue to post your activities!!!

Saturday - Sunday, 24 - 25 December

Wow - everyone has been doing a great job staying active and posting their stuff - thanks!  Sorry for not keeping things current and updated, but traveling like a crazy person, shopping, etc. has gotten me off my game!

Glad to see some legends of B&G checking in - Tex & Sodak - for those who don't know, they are probably the most fit LT's out there - look out platoons, the pain trains are coming when they arrive!!!

I've had one person send in a great Christmas inspired CrossFit picture - it is awesome, but needs some competition - so please don't forget to snap a pic and email it in to blackandgoldcrossfit@gmail.com - the best one gets an old school B&G t-shirt!

Post to comments two things you'd love for Santa to bring you for Christmas - the first should be a skill (like Double Unders, etc.) and the second should be a piece of equipment.  I'm not saying that Santa will grant any wishes, but it will be fun to see what's on everyone's wish list!

As for today and tomorrow - find a creative way to work out and have a very Merry Christmas!

Tuesday - Thursday, 20 - 22 DEC

I'm on the road, sorry I didn't update previously!  I will be in and out and not sure if I will have internet access, but make sure you do something active and post to the blog!  We all will be checking in on each other to make sure we are doing something!!

Post activities to comments!
