So Christmas is over with, and we had a blast celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. We made Him a birthday cake, and we got the chance to finish the Advent story. Evie loved every bit of it. Of course, she is now dealing with the post-Christmas blues of not giving and getting gifts, but she was reminded that we still have that Ultimate Gift given at Christmas time.
What a great time for an end-of-year progress report! It's been nearly a year now that I have started CrossFit, and it's time to check on the gains I have made in physical strength. During my first month of CrossFit, I did CrossFit Total, which is one measure of strength gained using the Back Squat, the Shoulder Press, and the Deadlift. Way back in April I set the goal of obtaining a CFT score of 615 by Thanksgiving. Well, I slacked a month before CFT came up again, so figured I ought to tackle it this time. I didn't meet my goal, but I am getting closer. The body still amazes me, and now it's time to set another future goal.
Goal: CrossFit Total score of 650 by Grad School Graduation Day (June)
CrossFit Total:
Back Squat-205#
Shoulder Press-115#
Deadlift-255#
TOTAL: 575#

Mr. Mirek - Keep up the work. I love that you set a goal - in print. I need to do the same. Keep inspiring others.

Thank you all for the encouragements!
It's the only way I remember my goals Kim! Thanks, and it helps people like you keep me accountable to my goals.
Gio, I miss you guys, but I don't miss the numb fingers. I'll see you next Saturday for an early birthday present to myself.
Brad, you're THERE! Congratulations making it through the 12-week intro program. I can't wait to see you catch me and pass me.
Kim D., welcome to my blog. Thanks for the encouragement!
