8 weeks. 1 goal. #reborn

2015 is here, a new start to a New Year!! Most of the people around you have declared their goals to live a happier-healthier-better life. You, yourself most likely have a few things you would like to improve on. And honestly, is there a better time to make those changes and improvements than at the beginning of a new year?!

I am most excited for the 35 athletes at CrossFit Round Rock who made the commitment to our yearly #REBORN challenge!! For those of you who do not know what the #REBORN challenge is, I will give you a few highlights....it is 8 weeks, each athlete is in a small group with one coach. Our #REBORNers commit to a clean, Paleo diet (I prefer lifestyle) and of course weekly workouts. Everyone is required to log their food daily and will receive feedback from their coach. Measurements, body comps, pictures, and a bench mark workout are done at the beginning and end of our 8 week challenge. 

The results for those who give 100% are remarkable!! This is my second year witnessing these athletes taking on a the challenge, and I cannot express how incredibly motivating, and inspiring it is to watch unfold! 

I'd like to offer a bit of advice for our #REBORN athletes...

First and foremost, and I cannot stress this enough....please be honest, and communicate with your coach. I mean, no-holds-barred, lay it out there, and tell us how you are REALLY feeling. If we don't know what is truly going on with your body, and emotions we cannot successfully help you. Think of it as like communicating with your doctor, would you not be completely honest and forthcoming about how your body is feeling with your doctor? Would you lie to her/him about what you are eating, or drinking if your life depended on it? I sure as hell hope not! We are here to help, and if we struggle with the right answer or solution for you, we will find it through someone else. We want you to succeed, we want you to feel better than you have ever felt before, we want this to change your life, for you, and for all those around you, and we want nothing more than to see HEALTHY, HAPPY, SHINING athletes all around us!! We love what we do, we love whom we do it for!

Remember just like any challenge we face, we need to take it one day at a time. So when you are feeling defeated, or stressed, and you are having a tough day (this will happen) keep in mind what a difference a day can make. Tell yourself you can do this, you are strong, you are determined. Keep your focus on your goal, and don’t let anything come in your way!

2015 is YOUR year!! YOU. CAN. DO. THIS!!
