OK. So, as usual, I let a lot of this slip. I left the crossfit gym I used to go to. It was too expensive The times were too inconvenient. Many of the people, to be honest, were too cliquey, and maybe (dare I say it) too cultish.
So I started doing a little lifting in my gym at work.I started doing some triathlon training. But here is the thing. I was just not consistent enough. It was too easy to miss workouts. It was too easy to go easy, lift light, and really not push myself at all.
So I am back in the box.There has been a change in ownership, so there is a slightly different culture. There is less off the "us and them" mentality, less off the "elite vs old fatties" feeling, which is nice. The programming is supposedly going to be less long metcon madness and more strength based. I am yet to see that really, most of the workouts are still 20 min plus beat downs and still very skill specific, which really does not suit me, and I do not think is ideal for me.
So why have I put my money down, and why am I happy about it?
Well, quite simply, I need to accountability, from multiple people, that training by yourself, or with just one or two others can not give me. People are checking on me.Not just the coaches. I can not "phone one in". I know when I am there I will be pushed. It has made me work on the days I skip a little bit better and smarter (and yes I do skip now, I am not willing to just keep beating myself up and get injured like last time).
So I will keep more updated on here, for any of you that care! Have a great day
