Resilient Lifts and Fits

This day was an okay day. I’m still positive about life and living, but whenever it’s a Wednesday. Wednesdays can be good/bad days for me. Or, just so-so. Today, is a so-so Wednesday. It started out amazing. I love being able to workout with friends at Feast Fitness. Snatches, Overhead Squats, Burpees, Bar Muscle-ups, and Power Cleans. A mix of things I need to work on. Felt good today, shoulder and knee were bothering me today. Still bothering me as I write this, this evening. But, in the moment I felt alive. I always feel alive when I workout. Just that drive to survive that drive to want to prove yourself wrong that you could go further and you conquered that workout. That’s what my dedication is about. Did some Josh Bridges workouts and Dan Bailey’s workouts for that day and felt good during them even scaled. Scaled is cool and I am grateful for the guidance between the these legends teaching me their ways. Practice makes perfect, and I will be the best that I can be. Been working on freestanding handstands but it’s hard to hold off the wall. Always something to work on with CrossFit. That’s what drives me to learn a new skill, new technique, new something, anything. I want to be better. Ever Better. Never forgetting where I came from this month on, allowed me to humble myself and be grateful for where I know I can be and what to aspire to.

The day ends with the typical pain and strain in my hands and my feet. Always pain and rigidity. Nothing seems to help but my doctor’s are helping with this, but I want answers. But, I have to wait and patience is a virtue. Invisible illness is hard to explain to people that you look great, but inside you feel like eh inside. Mentally feel amazing, physically not doing well. I hide pain well, but sometimes it gets hard and I’m grateful to have support. Social support is necessary for growth and for connection. I needed this but was afraid to ask. I am more self aware of myself and that’s what makes me stronger.
