Time to Set a Goal!

12/31/2011

It is time to set some goals for the new year. Please comment on this post with a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound (S.M.A.R.T.) goal for 2012. This post will be tagged so we can easily look back to see who made their achievement!

It can be anything. Good examples: get a 4 minute Fran by July, or run a half marathon in March. Feel free to include as many as you can think of. It does not have to be a CrossFit goal, but it does need to fit the SMART criteria.

We are looking forward to helping you get there!

There will be a burpee penalty if you do not set a goal and comment on this post

I will attain a dead lift at twice my body weight 360 lb., 100 consecutive double under's, maintain my 100% Paleo lifestyle (with a cheat meal in there every so often ;o), it's been 3 months strong so far) and make a success of my two new business ventures!

Ha, love the burpee penalty edit.

I've never been good at recording my time for a WOD or recording what the WOD was (I know, unheard of, right?), and that's is something I want to change, starting today.

Lisa Gelpi

1/2/2012 10:17:34 am

1) BALANCE: To remember where I have come from in 2011 with injury/surgery (injury was MVA related, not crossfit) and not be so zealous that I hurt myself and go backwards, but push myself enough to safely benefit forward without injury.
2) I am happy to have completed my Fundamentals in December 2011. Next goal: To stick with Crossfit for the whole year with 3 WODS weekly.
3) I know to say, "Get everyday normal person strong in my daily living (as if you never knew I was ever injured) first, then next goal to be crossfit strong is not a S.M.A.R.T. goal, but it is so meaningful to me with my rehabilitation that i must mention it.
4) To pass the NCLEX-RN state boards exam on JAN 19th.
5) To get a job as an RN.
6) For Crossfit to give me stamina to last 12 hour shifts turning and lifting patients!
7) To do an unassisted pullup. I have no idea how long that takes, so I do not know what timeline to put on this. (Hopefully this year!)
8) To learn double unders or whatever that jump rope term is called without tripping and falling on my face!
9) To learn Crossfit terminology. Fundamentals was a good start to them, but overwhelming. lol
10) To lose ten pounds, feel strong & fit before my 41st birthday on May 9! To always strive to be the best I can be at any age!

** Since I am new to crossfit, it was hard to figure out measurable goals, so I need help scaling and figuring out my timelines!

1. Strength lifts:
- 400+ lbs. deadlift (currently at 350 lbs.)
- 300+ lbs. back squat (currently at 270 lbs.)
- 235+ lbs. bench press (currently at 215 lbs.)
- 150+ lbs. press (don't know current max)
2. Oly Lifts - I need MAJOR improvement here (especially OHS, squat snatch, and snatch balance).
3. I need to tackle and stop avoiding proper HSPUs every time they come up. This has gone on too long. (I usually do wall climbs and do HSPUs from that orientation).
4. Rx every WOD (especially those with strings of muscle ups, heavier OHS or snatches / snatch squats).
5. Be nice to all of the coaches, even Liz.
