That’s the only attitude to have. This is our year. In CrossFit, and in life.
Throw that attitude into every aspect of your life and see what happens. Don’t be selfish, just be determined. Decide what you’re going to do and do it. Stop sitting around, planning for that perfect day or that perfect opportunity. Take today and make it as perfect as you can.
Somebody a lot smarter than me once said, “Don’t hope, friend. Decide.”
This is our year. Hammers are banging and electricians are stringing wires in our new, expanded location across the street. This is going to be the best year ever for CrossFit Watertown. Will it be the best year ever in your life?
Don’t hope, friend. Decide.

EVERY new year is the best year ever in my life. As far as I’m concerned, you should do everything in your power to make each day in your life better than the last. Learn something new every day, be it a fun fact or a life lesson. I personally don’t understand people who dwell on the past and regret the decisions they’ve made. What’s done is done. The only thing you can control are the decisions you’re making right now. I don’t believe in destiny or luck. You make your own luck.

Rock On Chris! Rock On Lis!

Lis-
That post couldn’t have come on a better day for me. It was well said!
Should be there in the am, depending on if our flight is on time tonite. And of course if my car isn’t frozen!!
January 14th, 2009 at 10:55 am
K — it’s overhead squat night. You know what that means.
Dan — are you listening? It’s OHS night!
(And, I put comments about this in yesterday’s comments but here we go again — get me a threesome and I’ll stick around to watch.)
Wait, that sounded reaaalllly bad . . . (I was talking about the Wed 7pm crew!)
January 14th, 2009 at 11:17 am
I know!!! and my new shoes arrive today too!!!!!!
I totally missed your post yesterday – I was going to ask about a W@7 and would definately be able to make it if it were to happen *ahem Sue & K lets make it happen – also Alex was there last time but i’m not sure if he reads the blog
and the deads for powercleans was because my traps were killing me from the front squats and clean & jerks that i did the day before so i flipped a coin to see if it was ok and the coin toss gave me the go ahead…and i was really overdue on deadlifts
January 14th, 2009 at 11:31 am
oohhh… I have not done overhead squats before… Can’t wait… see you at 5pm…
January 14th, 2009 at 11:50 am
I’d like to meet those “banging electricians” next time I am in watertown.
January 14th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Hey Donna – I like the new squatting kiwi logo, very cool!!! Can’t wait to see it on a t-shirt
January 14th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
It’s going to be a great year!
January 14th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Speaking of deadlifts, I can’t wait to do that deadlift-burpee WOD of awesomeness again sometime!
January 14th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Dan I’m in for 7… even though my upper body is shredded from yesterdays WOD lol..if we can’t get enough I’ll hit up the 6pm….
Tracey- come to the 7pm!! It’s better ^-^
SUEEEEE.. you better come too!
January 14th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
We HAVE to set a date for a weekend moving/cleaning/organizing/fixing/eating/
drinking party in the new CFW Facility. We gotta make this place special. We should probably save the drinking for last, in order to avoid dropping 45 lb. plates on our feet or have wall balls accidentally heaved out a window. If there is anything we can do to help, we’ll be there! My cold is still draining me, and as much as I need this OHS workout, I might be out. We’ll see.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Special announcement: Sorry, the Wed 7pm slot is NOT a class — it’s a “Bring It” showdown. I will provide little coaching and instruction and will instead be one of the attendees. Prior approval is needed to be a 7pm attendee — so far, only K, Dan, and Sue are cleared in hot, as it’s OHS night and that is not something to mess around with.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
@Kirk: Spot on. We’ll figure that out once we get closer to the date. Take care of that cold.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Oh — and special announcement #2: It appears that a Brazilian Jujitsu place (CT Combat) is going to be moving into the 3rd floor above us in our new spot — and below us is a some kind of machine shop that makes gun parts (?)! Life could get exciting for us all very quickly!
January 14th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
4 posts in a row. Try to beat that.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Let me get this straight. I can CrossFit, learn how to kick someone’s a$$, and assemble a gun in the same building? This WILL be the greatest year ever!!
January 14th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Omg.. Pair all that with kayaks, steel forging and remote control cars!!!! Holy shit- plus the liquor store is RIGHT THERE.. our landlord is the coolest guy in the world!
January 14th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Who’s doing you’re electrical cuz it’s not DADDONA ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC.
January 14th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
OH Squats @5? Should really finish off my neck
January 14th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
So are we on for the W@7?
January 14th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I see CrossFit/Jujitsu challenges in our days ahead
January 14th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Ask Iron Mary about the gun parts manufacturing
January 14th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
@Lis, is it OK if I hang and watch the showdown?
January 14th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Looks like I type too slow
January 14th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Wait, and there’s more in the Pin Shop: We also have a BAND and a girls softball league. Maurice (our landlord) has so got it going on. (We are officially now the Island of MisFit Toys.)
If we can just get somebody to make food, we never have to leave again.
@Jackie — lol. I don’t know who Maurice has for electrical.
January 14th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
@Rich: Sure. In all honesty, it will be a lot of smacktalk intermixed with a little smackdown. Heavy on the talk.
@Dan: 7pm. Bring it, baby.
@K: I’ll try to remember to write the letter of recommendation for your carry permit today.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Ha.. just getting to the site for the first time today. How the hell did the comments start out like an inspirational poster to guns/Jujitsu/RC Cars/Kayaks/Band/Softball?
That’s awesome!!!! Just the sort of read I needed today.
I’m going to try to make it tonight for the 5. I need to lift something heavy and go to my special place tonight… special place as in take the ‘Pain Train’ (nice one Dan) to the ‘Abusement Park’.
January 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Holy Posts Batman! this new location is sounding better by the minute!!!
January 14th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Will be there at 7….OHS showdown!!!!!!

January 14th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

CrossFit Persevere, You are your own yardstick.
January 14th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
I’m confused…. Do they have their own yardsticks @ CF Persevere??? I assume the boys measure…… YOu all know where I’m going with this…. Sue, Jenny, Lets go ladies- WOD @ CFPersevere it is!!!!
