Just Jump
Personal Development:
Today was a day I can be proud of. For the first time since starting crossfit over 2 years ago, I did a box jump.
Now I know what some of you are thinking: “what’s the big deal?” Fear is a funny thing. One time, long ago, Derick challenged me to doing a box jump on to the arm of the couch (welcome to my crazy marriage lol.) Not only did I skim the arm however, I actually fell! I landed right on my back and it knocked the wind out of me. Of course we laughed, but right in that moment I told myself a story: “box jumps are not for me.”
Today, I held my coach’s hands and jumped on to an 18 inch box. After three times of that, I felt confident to jump ALONE. Then, I jumped in our entire workout of the day (WOD). I did 8 box jumps each round for 4 rounds.
We all have something that holds us back from being better. For me, it was jumping on a stupid box that was quite stable, but seemed impossible. What are you avoiding jumping? What scares you?
Today, I encourage you to JUMP! Go all in and get ready for your breakthrough.
In this week’s news:
I’m LOVING The new collagen booster. I now see a difference in cellulite (finally) and I just love the taste. I do this with beverage mix, tea, and aloe and it’s my favorite thing to drink 2-3x a day.

I have THREE spots left for the 7 day shred! I’ve pre-ordered the programs, so if you know anyone who would like to try, please send them my way. Referrals are GREATLY appreciated as I build my brand/business.

I believe in you!
