My least favorite exercises today.....front squats and pullups. I beat my personal record and maxed out at 85 lbs for the front squats. The next task was 100 pullups!!!! So I thought..well I will try to do 60 pullups with a band and then move to body rows. The class was a little tight today so I asked the gal beside me (Karen) if I would be in her way if I switched to body rows. She said..."Just do pullups Kelly"...and I did...I did 100 pullups with the band in 12 minutes and 38 seconds.
Now that got me thinking of not setting yourself up for less than you. If I can do 100 pullups with the blue band, I might be able to do 100 pullups with the green band. So it takes me a little longer, I know that I can do it. So I officially declare today as "No more blue band" day!!! Just like when I started paleo it was no more dairy or wheat day....I just need to choose and not look back. Not let anything that I have done in the past influence what I can do now. I get to choose.......

What an awesome post Kelly! Kipping pullups is still a major goat of mine & I think always will be, so I know where you're coming from! So much of CrossFit is mental & overcoming those barriers is harder than overcoming the physical ones sometimes.
