Goals redefined

Know your limits, but never stop trying to exceed them.

My 265lbs back squat attempt.  I pulled it out of the bottom but couldn't get it over parallel.
I can't wait for the day we meet again.

     Wow, I cannot believe that it has been close to a month since I have posted.  Life has been happening nonstop here in Georgia.  The weather has been beautiful, the birds are singing, the azaleas are blooming, and I've accomplished some much needed soul searching.  I had a goal when I started at World Camp Crossfit.  It was to lose 60lbs.  I am by all the technical terms OBESE and being treated for hypertension and type 2 diabetes.  My weight still fluctuates from 245lbs to 250lbs.  I have always had a problem with overeating, and it has not changed.  That is something that is a constant battle.  Some days I win, some days I lose.
     If I've lost that battle, how can I win the war?  Today, I've redefined my goals on my journey to be FIT.  No matter how many times I tell myself that the scale is not my judge; I still step on it.  The only thing that has pulled me out of the obsession is my Personal Records (PRs).  I am stronger than I could have ever imagined at this point in my training.  I have a 305lbs dead lift under my belt, a 125lbs press, a 145lbs push press (which was easy), and a 235lbs back squat.  I am pleased with my progress in the weightlifting.
     I'm adding a newer dimension to my redefinition of the FIT me!  Double-unders, kipping pull ups, and dips.  This is going to be quite an undertaking since the last two are body weight movements.  I will practice these at least three times a week on my own apart from my WOD.  Next week is going to be quite difficult since I will be on "vacation" in Key West visiting the husband.  I will work on my jump roping skills and continue to do my strength everyday.
