So it seems as though the Q & A has been given the green light. I will start setting things up and finding a date. Maybe sometime in the middle of November.

There are some of you that maybe aren't seeing the results you would like to see in the short time that you have been with us. On top of diet being one of the major reasons for this, the other reason is consistency with your training. I notice that those that excel the most within our group have consistently made it to the gym more than 4 times a week. Being in the gym and taking the intensity up a notch more than a couple of times a week is usually the quickest remedy to increasing your abilities.
Fitness is not an every now and then thing, it is an all the time thing. If you are struggling with your progress, ask yourself if you are doing every thing in your power to improve. Do you know how to push the limits of what you can handle? Are you taking too many breaks? Can you push yourself beyond your breaking point/comfort level, near the point of passing out?
If you want to improve, you have to put in the effort. Get your butt in here more often. Forget the clock and just push yourself so hard that you just might cry. Take control of what you can and can't do. Accept only that you will be able to do un-assisted pull-ups, pushups, etc. Always remember that you either get better or you get worse, you never stay the same. But don't take my word for it.

Congratulations to Katy Beezy for getting her first pull-up, then two in a row, and finally three in a row. Keep up the effort Katy.
Definitely thought this said 'punch myself' the first time I read it... Never read at 4:45 in the morning. Bad idea. Funny, but not reliable.
See you later, nooners... I'd like to make up the shoulder press, if I can... Just nothing using the ass cheeks, please. Had to sit on a pillow last night... Sad news!
And congrats b christ on being a badass. don't be humble, brother, you've earned it!
Bchrist...you're an Xfit bad ass...you teach me stuff! Like better technique to double unders and wall balls!
I'm in horrible shape and I always finish last, but I do push myself when I'm there. Some days I don't know how I'm going to make the drive home. I definitely wouldn't push myself this hard without the support I get, so thanks to everybody in the gym for that.
My new goal is to get into the gym 4 to 5 times a week.
This is what I ask myself before, during after every Metcon WOD. During the workout my mind is like "STOP! I can't breathe, I need to rest a minute" and 10 minutes after the workout it's always, "I should have pushed harder..."
I have this mental barrier that I am having a hard time penetrating. I have never been to the point where I have to puke or feel like passing out and that means I haven't broken that barrier yet. It's going to be hard, but my next goal to is break through that barrier, no matter how long it takes.
i took a week off. at first i felt guilty, but im glad i did. i wasnt excited about coming in anymore. however, my body is rested (ie: out of shape) and ready to be back in to full swing! i cant wait to be back to fittin' 5 days a week and zonin.
see the real crossfitters tomorrow morning!
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them, "Hold on!"
