deadlift

From all of the runner blogs I follow, and many marathon journeys I have followed, it seems like a right of passage for runners is losing a toenail. Sounds gross, I know, but you runner folk know what I am talking about. Just as runners take pride in losing their toenails, I think the true initiation into Crossfit […]

My Valentine’s Date with Crossfit

in CrossFit

I continue to say this both in my blog and in my real life world, but Crossfit changes a person more than just at the physical level. There are huge mental barriers to break through, and it could cause an emotional rollercoaster of exhilaration, frustration, nervousness, ambition, and confidence. There is so much more that […]

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Melissa S!

in Lady Lifter Spotlight

I love when women get excited about lifting, and this week’s lifting spotlight is no exception! Melissa seems to eat, breathe, and live strength training! Not only that, but the woman has participated in figure competitions  works 11 hour days, yet still manages to prep and plan a paleo diet, plus fit in all of […]

I was completely inspired by Claire of The Ascent Blog and her Spending Fast that I wanted to implement it myself, partially out of necessity, but also because it is easy for me to justify everything I buy. I’m a bargain shopper, and a coupon clipper, so if it’s not on sale, I probably won’t […]

It is almost for four-week-i-versary at Crossfit! Not counting my Groupon classes, it will be four weeks tomorrow that I have endured this madness! I cannot believe how fast it has gone, and how much more I still have to grow! So many more benchmark WODs to attempt and so many more “first-time” movements to […]

Pity Party: OVER!

After my pity party the other day, I wanted to say that I have decided that I do need to take a step back and focus on me, and what I’m doing in the box, and pay less attention to everyone else. I’ve had two great workouts in a row (Saturday and Monday) that despite […]

You would think with one year ending a new year beginning, it would be nice to take it easy and enjoy the transition period.. but nope! This girl rocked Crossfit on both New Year’s Eve AND New Year’s Day! It’s funny how the mentality of Crossfit works. I struggle HARD in the classes. I see […]

Can you believe that it is just about 2013 already? While everyone else is recapping their 2012 progress and setting up 2013 goals, I wanted to do something a little different and give a little guidance for those who are trying to set goals for the new year. From a lot of the bloggers that I follow, many […]

I like to think that I can get big and strong by just using my sheer body and skills alone, but once in a while it is helpful to use various aids for assistance to see if there is hidden potential. When I was given an opportunity to try out the Harbinger Women’s Core Belt, I was unsure what to […]

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” “I don’t much care where –” “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Today was the first time in a few weeks that I had […]
