I wrote half this blog 2 months ago and then life happened and I just didn’t get here. So now I have even more to report! My last post discussed how all these changes were coming and now I have implemented them and things are getting better. Nutrition–this is going to be a lot to … Continue reading
I have had an interesting month. Right before I went on vacation I had a, as the south like to call it, a come-to-Jesus talk with my chiropractor regarding all my injuries this year. It was a great chat and some truths needed to be communicated. I won’t go into too much detail, but I … Continue reading
This week has been interesting. I have struggled with chocolate cravings, been to a birthday party filled with temptation and been crazy hungry, even after I have eaten. Going into week three is difficult. It’s not just that you get tired of the food, it’s also that you start to emotionally miss the foods you … Continue reading
Ola gentle readers! Yesterday I did the CrossFit Open 14.3—which was all deadlifts and box jumps {or for me and my wounded feet box step-ups}. When this workout was announced I was pretty excited as I am very strong in my deadlifting abilities, and I was hoping I could get through the box step-ups without … Continue reading

This means new PR’s! PR’s are so gratifying. Seriously. I could drink them up every. single. day. This week was the week where my thighs were under assault. Every workout worked them, and worked them hard. I was so sore I brought my foam roller to work to help work the kinks in my thighs. … Continue reading
I might have glossed over it in my last post, but this week I found out my PR for my deadlift. Hayley and I decided to come to open gym on Tuesday night and we ambitiously wanted to see if we could find 3 PR’s (ha ha ha) but instead only found one. The reason … Continue reading
I have had a strong two weeks for working out = woo hoo! I only missed Monday and that was because I have gotten a second cold. Second in three weeks! Stupid body! I am not even living in Canada, so I find it frustrating that I am getting sick so often. Although this time … Continue reading
