Right before Christmas my crossfit box changed hands... same location, new coaches, more equipment, more class times, bigger community. Some of these changes are fantastic but I'm a little resistant to change. The programming seems harder... not necessarily harder work but more sporadic... less focused; like their entire intent is to cram as much ass kicking stuff into the hour as possible. I'm a little concerned that while I am getting a killer workout my lifts are going to suffer and I love lifting.
It's kind of amazing how directly linked my exercising is to my mental well being. Lately I have been struggling a bit with anxiety... I always kind of have but I've never given it much credit. I take a few deep breaths, tell myself to chill the fuck out and before I know it it has passed. I'm not surprised that I've been noticing these blips of anxiety more often lately... I've been having a harder time talking myself into going to the box.
Because I know I deserve to get through the day without those blips of panic and because I know how to control it this week I am setting some goals for myself.
*Drink a gallon of water everyday.
*Be active at least 5 days this week with a minimum of 3 of those being Crossfit.
I am looking forward to how these things affect my mood and will post a recap and new goals next Sunday.
