Competition

It’s in our culture to win..”America” will not be defeated, you will not be defeated, you’ll do anything to win, winning feels good, no one ever remembers who got second…right?

In our day to day battles what defines us is a win? But who is our competition and who we trying to beat?

Our Goals are what we are fighting for - that’s where we want to be. What are you doing every day to get there?  Does every choice you make get you closer?

The “win” is making the journey, committing to the goal, doing the work to achieve the goal…so in the end You are the competition you have to “win” against.  Win the battle of CHOICE…put in the extra effort to achieve your dreams, rid yourself of the obstacles that stand between you and your goals so you can focus on becoming the best you.  Can you say you’re on track?

On a side note we’d like to take a moment to thank the members of the 2 teams we have going to the North Central Regional Crossfit games this weekend.

Your competitive spirit to become the best “you” has inspired a whole community.  You lead us by motivating and being there, selflessly, for us.  Guiding us to reach our goals and by being strong examples.  Now go out there and complete your goal, compete hard and push yourself to achieve those goals you’ve been working so hard to accomplish.

Derek

“I’m asking you to un-learn everything you think you know, everything you’ve been taught about the ‘right’ way to eat, everything most doctors have told you your whole life.”

And for so many of us, this so hard to do it’s nearly impossible. But I asked you to trust us, to do the research yourself, and just TRY. I mean, people pop pills for every ache and pain, every symptom of ill health, but try asking them to cut out grains for the same symptoms and you’d think you kicked their puppy or punched their grandma.

But what I want you to do is be armed. When your mother/grandmother/spouse/friend/co-worker asks you why you’re turning down the morning doughnut for four eggs and bacon, YOU KNOW why. That when you pull beef jerky or almonds out of your purse at a coffee shop, you don’t feel weird. You feel strong and in control of your health. As cliche as it is, knowledge is power. So I’m going to give you some resources that I’ve found helpful along this journey for you to read, research, and sack away in your ammo bag to fire back at people who stick their nose up at your heavy cream in your coffee.
