Do as I say, not as I do. I thought about that last night as our substitute coach pushed us through a 1000m row and tortured us with a 21-15-9 WOD of wall-balls and sit-ups with DUs between each round; and a 400m run on either side of the WOD. All while eating a freshly […]

I know I probably say this about every lifting lady I spotlight that is older than me, but I think is even more inspiring to people push outside their comfort zone as they get older, and makes me realize how much more awesome I can be in 10+ years! 😉 This week’s spotlight is on […]

Michigan Warrior Dash 2013: I survived!

by ~jenniferlynn on July 30, 2013

in Running

While Crossfit is so much of a physical sport, it is so much mental as well. As I continue to get stronger physically, I am also growing so much stronger mentally. From almost the beginning, I have pushed myself into the uncomfortable: participating in the Crossfit Open, competing in my first Crossfit competition, running an entire […]

I will be the first person to tell you that the number on the scale does not mean a thing. When developing a health and fitness regimen, it is more important to note progress with what you are lifting than what is displayed on the scale. And as someone who has gained 15lbs since starting […]

Short, but sweet.

I hit a different kind of PR yesterday that had nothing to do with a barbell, a WOD, or a benchmark. I took a rest day from Crossfit, but it was the most gorgeous day out so was feeling like I needed to do something. I laced up my shoes and decided to go for […]

Paleo Ice Cream with Avocado

in Recipes

It is not too often that I post a recipe, but after concocting such a simple paleo ice cream in the kitchen, I felt obligated to share it with the world! While I am not a big fan of people using the term “paleo dessert”, since I think absolute paleo does not really involve snacking […]
