So here is the struggle: I adopted full-paleo at the beginning of the year by doing a Whole 30. It worked really well, I lost weight and I was feeling like a shooting star—full of life and energy. Then after it I slowly saw myself going back to sugar {of course, you tricky vixen} and … Continue reading
With summer and vacations fast approaching, I thought I would share how I survive travel and still getting a workout in. I am especially conscious of this since I will be going to Mexico in October and there won’t be any CrossFit there and a ton of amazing food. Classes: look for activity classes where … Continue reading
Last week was empowering {and ultimately painful}. This week is the exact opposite. I am injured, and yes I have been cleared to workout if I don’t run or jump, but when I tried to do an overhead squat today at 45# I fell forward and tweaked my heel again. And really hurting myself for … Continue reading
Tonight I attempt to do my first CrossFit Games Open workout. The workout was announced last night, so I have had a bit of time to prepare {ha ha} and come to terms with it. Here is the workout: 30 double-unders 15 sntaches at 55 pounds Last night, when the WOD was announced I was … Continue reading
Nothing tests conditioning like taking time off from working out, even if it’s against our will {and it was}. I can’t believe how much I have gotten sick in the past 6 weeks. But I did, it’s happened and there is nothing I can do about it. The thing that was eating at me during … Continue reading

I have been thinking about this for a good 6 weeks and consulting with my trainers and everything. I have been thinking about my food and have experimented over the past 10 … Continue reading

I have been doing some thinking for 2014 and how I plan to go after the year is summed up by the following video {and I think I might play it every moment … Continue reading
I had another 2-day work week thanks to it being Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving also means that my Box wasn’t having regular hours this week, but I was able to figure it out so that I could workout 4 times. I have to admit that lately I haven’t been getting there 4 times a week, due to … Continue reading
Last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of volunteering for my box’s first crossfit competition, and it was a blast. I have never been to a competition so I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was I was part of the put up and take down WOD team. This meant meeting the … Continue reading
This post is going to be a little fractured, as there have been things going on in my life that have kept me busy and prevented me from writing here. Like a CrossFit competition at my box and me making 100 mini banana breads for a friend. I might have napped at 11am on Sunday. I … Continue reading
