Have you ever felt that the universe just needs to create balance? You know, for every action there is an opposite, but equal reaction? This week so far has been a nice balance or the world trying to keep me in check. So Sunday night, this happened: Horrible! And what makes it worse is that […]

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 […]

Do you ever feel that without some strict structure in your life, things get all chaotic? For example, I did not do a meal plan this weekend but knew I had plenty of food at home to make sure I wouldn’t starve. However not knowing what I was going to eat each day just makes […]

If you have been keeping up with my blog lately, you would know that I have become a Crossfit fanatic and all of my workouts have been focused on Crossfit. This was a change from my workout-out-at-home-programs I did before, but a huge step in the right direction knocking me out of my comfort zone. […]

I have been struggling in my Crossfit workouts anytime there are push-ups involved, and as an alternative to strict push-ups, I have […]

As much as I would love to say I eat real, whole foods 100% of the time, the reality is that life is rarely that perfect. Sometimes it is much easier to just have a grab-and-go type of snack for situations like if you are running late for work in the morning, if you need a quick […]

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 […]

I apologize for no lifting spotlight last week.. my personal life took over for a short bit there, but happy to say that the spotlights are now back! This week is on Kathleen, a fellow Sweat Pink Ambassador and in her words, a “runner, yogi, cyclist, strength trainer, and healthy chef.” In addition to being involved in all things […]

I have decided to commit to Crossfit a minimum 4x a week (Two Crossfit WOD classes, two Crossfit Endurance classes, with a likely 5th day reserved for strict Olympic lifting sessions). The tentative schedule, which has been working for the past couple weeks is: I was quite pleased to find out that my box offers not only typical […]
