If you remember not too long ago, I was boasting about using Eat To Perform for Crossfit, liberating myself from the paleo prison I was trapped in and opening my diet up to foods that not only make me feel better overall, but help to fuel my Crossfit performance. A plan that encouraged white rice and […]

I can guarantee that if you surveyed any Crossfitter and ask what his or her most-disliked Crossfit movements are, I can guarantee 99% of them will say burpees or thrusters, and probably nearly just as many will quote them both.

I have always been thin, so it was a bit of a surprise when I started gaining weight with Crossfit. I was born a preemie almost two months early, wore a size 4 in second grade, and didn’t start my period until just before I started high school. In high school I lived on macaroni, […]

What I love most about blogging is not only to have a way to share my success stories with the internet world, but also hope that someone can relate to what I have to say and maybe take it to heart. I had some great feedback on my last post about my pre-14.2 thoughts, which […]

I was just talking on one of my recent podcast episodes about a question that came up on OKCupid about if there is an obligation for women to shave their legs. I answered no, because honestly, I consider it a chore and oftentimes don’t even bother. And a guy should love me for me, untamed […]
