PEEK FOR THIS WEEK: Coconut milk/with vanilla bean and fresh fruit popsicles. AND coconut flour pizza crust. ALSO- what do I do with all this basil eh?
Simple is going to be the spice of life for me for the next little while.
I read this today and WOWZER...it spoke to me. Please always remember that although most inspirational things I share seemed geared toward WODS and weights..its so easily transferred into LIFE!

Plan to fail.
Yes, you read that right, plan to fail.
In fact, while we're at it, set yourself up for failure.
... Choose weights that seem just a little bit past what you "think" you can do.
Pick the Rx'd box height, even though it means you have to focus on each and every rep, even if it means you have to push yourself past your fear.
Choose the wallball that is a few pounds heavier than your usual.
Make it hurt, make it burn, make it hard for yourself.
Make it so that at least once a month you push yourself so hard that you actually fail.
So hard that you have to strip the weights, or tap out halfway through the ladder, or break down into tears because the WOD just won't end.
Failure breeds growth, it builds strength, it forges your mental game.
Setting yourself up to fail means setting yourself up for jaw dropping earth shattering moments.
Like that moment when you hit your Clean 1RM in a WOD, and then crank through 9 more to finish the round.
The moment when you finish your first Hero WOD Rx'd.
The moment when you actually string together your DU's and cut your Annie time in half.
The moment when your hard work pays off in a trip to Regionals...or the Games.
That moment doesn't come in a shiny box with a big red bow on top.
It comes in a box that has been kicked around with trials and tribulations, in a box soaked with sweat and tears.
It comes in a box shredded by missed attempts, scarred by fruitless effort and plateaus.
It comes in an ugly misshapen box delivered to your doorstep through failure after failure.
But under the lid of that gnarly box resides your glorious moments.
