stronglifts

One year ago today, I wrote my very first blog post, not knowing a thing in the world about blogging, networking, or self-promotion. I created the blog to document my progress with New Rules of Lifting for Women, and to hope to gain followers on my journey and to encourage other women to do the […]

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 […]

And.. it’s the end of another era. I have completed my second ever lifting program! Back in July, I finished up New Rules of Lifting for Women and wanted to do something more “big lifts” focused. Under the recommendation of Jared, I started to do Stronglifts 5×5, which involves three workouts a week, alternating a set […]

I like the format that I have been using to set up my goals in the past so will continue to use it going forward, with the exception of changing “Blog” to “Blog/Branding”. Here we go! Blog/Branding: Since I became self-hosted, there have been a lot of things that I wanted to do with my […]

Whole30 Day 7 and StrongLifts Update

by ~jenniferlynn on September 7, 2012

in StrongLifts, Whole30, Working Out

One week down, three (plus two days) to go! Is it bad that I’m already counting down the days until the end, rather than embracing the challenge as it’s happening? Honestly, I think the Whole30 is really one of the most logical things that a person can do if he or she is experiencing ANY […]

Whole 30: Day 3

by ~jenniferlynn on September 4, 2012

in Whole30

So it’s Day 3 of the Whole30, and according to the Whole30 Timeline, days 2-3 are the “Hangover” days as your body is accepting not having the bad foods in your diet, so it struggles to retake control. Having the first few days on a long weekend had its benefits, while we tried to work […]

September Goals!

I wrote about my pretty successful August goals here, so what’s in store for September? Blog: Become either a Fitfluential Ambassador or Sweat Pink Ambassador; been working on these two, so crossing my fingers that I get accepted! Food: This is probably the most difficult goal because successfully completing the Whole30 program is going to take a lot […]

I’ve been a blogging bum lately, though I have been trying to be a bit more active on Twitter, so check me out there if you haven’t followed me yet (and please “like” me on Facebook!)! This last week went by pretty quickly, and the August Blogger Challenge is almost over! I feel like the last […]

Fitness Cheerleader’s August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge: Day 21: Why did you start a blog? I have only been blogging since February, so the original intent of this blog is pretty much the same as how it is today: to blog about my journey to be healthy and strong. I wanted to track my […]
