It’s odd that I would have a title like this, but I need to express how fucking hot it has been here in Texas this summer. We went an entire month {after the flooding} without rain. The temperature climbed to over 100 degrees plus the humidex, meaning each day felt like it was 115 degrees. It … Continue reading
On the heels of admitting that things have been going wrong for a while and that weight has come back, I had a week at crossfit that gave me faith again. I was able to modify the WOD’s to a point where I was still getting my ass handed to me but I wasn’t aggravating … Continue reading
As you know, last week I decided to take the bull by the horns and start going to 6:15am WOD’s. And it was rough. Thankfully my body decided to acclimate and this week I have not as tired/cranky/crazy as I was last week. Heck I even woke up just before the alarm went off this morning! … Continue reading
Ola gentle readers! I have to say that things have calmed down since my last post. I haven’t had major temptation, which has been a a godsend. The weekend is always hard, the temptation to eat out is at its highest. Before I moved to Houston I hardly ever ate out on the weekend, but … Continue reading
Yesterday I did something I have never done before–I went into my box*, looked at the WOD** and went home. It was a moment of instant frustration and anger plus intimidation–to the point that I didn’t think clearly, got in my car and went on my way. So what happened? What could this WOD have … Continue reading
“Daniel“. Wow. As I write this, my calf muscles are pissed and expressing themselves by being tighter than a virgin on prom night. I did something outside my box–I did a Hero WOD. What is this?? Oh let’s just say it’s a workout that is designed to bring you lots of pain and make you … Continue reading
Today’s workout was intense!! Partly because it was 8 rounds of 5 exercises, it was painful and turned mental fast. Then another reason–it was 85 degrees and my skin started to feel like it was on fire halfway through the workout. Double mental!!! Now we need to also acknowledge that I have incredibly thick blood, … 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
After being part of Pearland Crossfit for over a month, I am noticing some differences, not only in class structure but in my endurance and capabilities. The class stuff is obvious–instead of working out for an hour, we warm up, practice some new skill (headstands anyone??) and then do a workout that last between ten and … Continue reading
Ladies and gentlemen, I am sore. Super, super sore. Pearland Crossfit is making my core the sorest part of my body. So I went into my first Saturday workout a little (ok a lot) nervous about the workout. I knew I was going to be working out with people who are crazy in shape and … Continue reading
