Pity Party: OVER!

by ~jenniferlynn on January 9, 2013

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 […]

Strong girls finish.. last?

Is it unreasonable to want to be the best at everything? Like now? Okay, how about not the best, but how about at least not last? I’ve been doing this Crossfit thing for just over two weeks now, and still, I come in last. All the time. I do not consider myself an athlete, but […]

On the first day of Crossfit, my new coach gave to me.. 500 meters of rowing, 40 air squats, 30 butterfly sit-ups, 20 incline push-ups 10 banded pull-ups and some DOMs that will last for three days.. Let me tell you that my first real experience at a Crossfit box was a quite humbling one. […]

Don’t worry, I’m still a lifter – not a runner

I feel like the entire tone of this whole blog lately has gotten a bit too runner-like, but I want to reassure you that my passion and love in life is still weightlifting. As much as I am excited to be able to check off a 10k from my goal list, when I’m doing my […]

Fruity goodness

in CrossFit, Food

When I returned from my vacation, I considered some sort of detox diet or cleanse to rid myself of all of the junk that I indulged in during my vacation. I looked into the 21-day Sugar Detox (recommended by the super fun Stephanie), but I don’t think my problem is a sugar addiction. I can easily pass on […]

Bucking Furpees..

I was wasting time on Pinterest and looking up random fitness pages and ran across this t-shirt: While I do not cuss, I really felt that this appropriately expressed how I felt after tonight’s short little workout. The official crossfit WOD for today was an untitled workout, consisting of 21 each of 95# front-squats, burpees, […]

NROLFW: Stage 3 Recap

by ~jenniferlynn on May 23, 2012

in NROLFW, Running

Stage 3 was the same length as stage 2: 8 total workouts, 4 “A” and 4 “B”.  There were more new exercises introduced here which was pretty exciting since I was getting tired of step-ups and lunges! However, it brought some new horrors, including a bodyweight maxtrix, and increased time for planks (up to 90 […]

NROLFW: Stage 2 Recap

by ~jenniferlynn on April 26, 2012

in NROLFW, Running

Stage two of NROLFW definitely kicked my butt in a way that the first stage didn’t.  I did really like that the exercises contained 10 reps of each exercise compared to the grueling 15 reps that some of Stage 1 included! Unfortunately, step-ups made a comeback and my less-than-favorite lunges reappeared with even more difficulty. […]
