I recently entered a giveaway on one my favorite blogs, The Ascent Blog, for a Crossfit WOD tank by LatitudeGearRX. Around the same time that I found the giveaway, I was contacted by Lindsay, who founded the company, asking if I would be interested in reviewing on of their tanks. Of course, I said yes!

So remember on Monday when I posted about finally being back from my short hiatus from Crossfit due to my injury? On Tuesday, I could not get out of bed. It was the most horrible, miserable feeling to have felt so optimistic and positive, and then to be right back to where I started. I cried. I whined. […]

Inspired by my last post in rambling off my Crossfit workouts without realizing that half of the readers may not even know what is a WOD, I opted to put together a very basic list of what some Crossfit abbreviations and terms are so you can reference anytime you read my posts. 😉 What is […]

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 […]

I successfully completed six classes and was able to test out of the intro group and can now officially join the real classes! Well, provided that I pay my dues and sign some sort of contract.. For Thursday’s class, I […]

This week marked the official third day of my Crossfit introductory sessions (read about days one and two here), and I will admit that the whole concept still scares me. I went to the 6:30 class which was scheduled for the “new” people, and waited for the rest of the class to show up. Nope, it was […]
Although we have a great setup in our garage, fully equipped with an Olympic weight set, pull-up bar, rower, and adjustable dumbbell weights, the Michigan record temps have been just way too much for me to handle. I love the idea of working out at home, but Friday night’s workout sent me back to the […]
Since I did a bunch of fun bodyweight squats on my birthday, and threw in some back-squats as part of NROLFW Stage 7 on Tuesday , I figured why not have some more fun with squats today and do some Overhead Squats, where were the Workout of the Day (WOD) on Crossfit.com for today. They didn’t […]
So I wanted to create this post to sum up my vacation as a “How to Eat Healthy/Stay Fit While on Vacation,” but I didn’t make it past two days myself, so thought it would be a bit hypocritical to tell others how to live their lives while I have a big glass of wine […]
