Okay, so this is an idea I have been throwing around for a while and thought I may as well jump on it and see how it goes! Sparked by the idea of dropping in at boxes while traveling, and by the awesome connections I’ve made via social networking with Crossfitters, I wanted to find […]

I have been doing Crossfit for under two years and have competed in a handful of competitions, including a couple of individual competitions (here and here), two partner competitions (here and here), and one team competition.

Confession time. Despite me being on board with telling people to throw out the scale and that gaining weight when working out doesn’t matter, I still weigh myself quite regularly. As in, every Wednesday morning at 7:15 regularly. It’s all in a notebook aside my bed on the night stand. Date, body weight, body fat percentage […]

That time I didn’t cry during Crossfit “Karen”

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time, you may know that I have had a history of crying during Crossfit. As much as I hate to admit it, there were plenty more times than just those I confessed on the blog like here, here, here, oh, and here’s another. And one […]

You are only as strong as you think you are. Well, I am only as strong as I think I am. I have been whining about my lack of progress on the back squat for about a year. Last summer, I PRed the lift at 150# (body-weight around 135#) and since then, it has stalled. […]

Happy, happy, Friday!!
