Hey hey! I finally stopped being scared and got my ass to CrossFit this morning! Considering I spent the fall sitting and editing pictures and not working out, my body was not used to being tested and my conditioning was hard to find. But I was there, I kept up with the others and I didn’t … Continue reading
It’s only Tuesday and my body is already like WTF. Last night’s workout was madness. Madnessssss!!! There was a 35 minute timecap, and I am proud to report that I got that shit done in just over 33 minutes. I did scale and I walked some of the running bc my heel was starting to talk, … Continue reading
Last week was both good and challenging. I am settling into a nice pattern with my workouts that look like this: Crossfit Monday and Wednesday; Kickboxing Thursday; running or walking everyday but Tuesday, and on the weekends I aim for 2 miles each day. My calves are getting tighter, so I need to stretch them … Continue reading
2014 was an interesting year for me, it taught me about my limits, tested my resolve, I learned a bunch of new recipes and I tried to transform my eating. I have to say I wasn’t prepared for the push-back I got from my body with all its injuries and that was tough for me. … Continue reading

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
I have had an interesting few days. Survived the first winter storm warning by watching Breaking Bad with the husband 🙂 I haven’t been to CrossFit as much as I feel I should be, but I have been running more. This weekend was kind of strange in the sense that I started to see more … Continue reading
Buckle up beotches! I have been doing a lot of thinking about my physical abilities and where I want to go for 2014. 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
Something hit me last week during a WOD where there was a “cool down” of a mile run–I was starting to like running. When did this happen? And why? Don’t get me wrong, I am still the slowest runner you have met. I am not trying to be modest. When I was running, I realized … Continue reading
Yesterday I did my first 5k with obstacles, it was called the Gritty Goddess. This was the perfect one to do to break me in. There was no expectation for the participants to run the entire time, in fact there was a wait at some of the obstacles. It wasn’t timed. The obstacles included water … Continue reading
