So you know that thing about 2012 right?
The Mayan calendar says there's supposed to be some sort of Galactic Alignment where all the planets line up with the Milky Way and crazy crap is supposed to happen. Stuff like Atlantis rises up out of the ocean, UFO's show up over major US cities and the women of the View turn into demons from the Ninth circle of Hell.
Anyway, I hope none of that happens because I finally got some of that stuff that comes in handy at RFM.
It's called "motivation."
Last time I felt this way I had a big Vegas trip coming up. This time it's just because I know I can. I did this the first time I did the Whole 30 and was on a strict Paleo diet. Then Vegas came up and I went Paleo again and added extra cardio with Kehau and Bump.
Now the holidays are over and so are some of my bills. (Thank God) We've got the Warrior Dash coming up and some sort of fitness contest at Lahaina Crossfit. All this equals good fodder for getting serious.
It's kinda cool because I know exactly what I have to do to get results. I'm not even worried about it. It's going to happen, no doubt. Plus I'm bragging about it on my blog so now I have to be accountable.
Seriously though, I don't know how to explain it, I just know. It's time.
And this has nothing to do with the New Year. I don't believe in the whole resolution thing anyway. Why wait? What does the 1st of the year have to do with anything? Besides, RFM was closed on New Year's day anyway.
Which is why I headed in today. Me and the rest of the crew kicked off 2012 with three rounds of a furious WOD. One of those 30 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest things.
We started out with KB swings, then push-ups, then sit-ups then double-unders. After three rounds it was rough.
The worst part was, I forgot to count.
Actually I counted my first round but forgot that I should have just added it all together. I know the first round I did 23 KB swings, 29 push-ups, 19 sit-ups and 24 double-unders, but I should have just kept counting as I went along and I would have ended up with 95.
But since I didn't do that at the end of the first round I had 15 seconds to add all that up and was like, "Damn it" and just kept going.
I guesstimated that after the first round of 95 I dropped down to 75 and then 65 respectively for the second and third rounds, for a total of 235.
Hey, I'm trying to be honest here and give it my best guess. I know I did at least 20 double unders each round so that's 60 right there, sit-ups were between 13 and 15, KB swings were . . . between 17 and 20 . . . anyway you get the point, it was confusing.
But at least my guesstimate was close and I went lower than I thought I did. At first I said 191 then realized I didn't count the double-unders.
Yeah yeah, mental lapse. But I didn't eat any crappy food today. I drank lots of water and ate a turkey wrap from Mana Foods for dinner.
I'm even cutting down on my drinking and scheduling what nights I'll be going out. Fourth Friday in Paia on the 27th and a big Superbowl Party on Feb. 5th. After that I'm going to be cool until March when we do the Warrior Dash on Oahu.
So hopefully the Mayan's were wrong, I've got too much to do in 2012.
Peace,
Rod
