Absolutely. Based on the full conversation, Video 17 is really a goals/check-in episode with a lot of relatable pieces: staying consistent while traveling, learning to measure progress differently, CrossFit vs. “RX,” nutrition and family boundaries, upcoming competitions, HYROX, and why accountability and community matter. Video 17: Stack Your Goals — Progress, Accountability & Doing Hard Things We’re back with another Savagely Scaled check-in—and this one is all about goals, progress, and what happens when life gets in the way. Joyce is back from a week of family time in California, where she had to figure out how to stay consistent with her goals while traveling, running, and being surrounded by people who were much more interested in vacation mode than workout mode. Meanwhile, Blake is balancing weightlifting, nutrition, an upcoming meet, and a brand-new endurance goal. We talk about why progress isn't always about hitting RX, why choosing a number you can consistently achieve can be more valuable than forcing a workout, and why you have to remember your wins instead of obsessing over the days when things don't go your way. Joyce shares her progress with toes-to-bar, shoulder strength, running, and preparing for HYROX Pro. Blake talks about making weight for her next weightlifting competition, preparing for a Huntington Beach meet, and her August focus on Zone 2 and building endurance for HYROX. But the biggest conversation might be about accountability and community. As adults, nobody is standing over us telling us to have goals, work hard, or keep going. Sometimes we have to create that accountability ourselves—or find people who will do it with us. And yes… we also talk about the emotional roller coaster of trying to get those HYROX tickets. 😂 This episode is your reminder that goals don't have to be perfect. They just have to matter enough for you to keep showing up. You don't have to accomplish everything at once. Sometimes progress looks like adding one more rep. Sometimes it means running when you hate running. Sometimes it means choosing the scaled option so you can actually complete the workout the way it was intended. And sometimes the biggest win is simply having people around you who remind you why you started. Blake and Joyce are stacking their goals, adjusting when life happens, and figuring out what works for them—not trying to be perfect. Now it's your turn: What goal are you working toward right now? Are you stacking goals, or are you still working on your first one? Pick one goal for the next month. Not ten. Not everything you want to accomplish this year. Just one. Write it down. Tell somebody about it. Give yourself a way to be accountable—and then come back and tell Savagely Scaled how it's going. Because we're not trying to be perfect. We're trying to get better, do hard things, and have a damn good time doing it.
