I was overwhelmed by the initial interest that my #WODSwap post got with over 40 people interested in the US, and many more from outside! Because of this, I am going to try and offer this up to anyone in the world! HOWEVER.. if you are the only one in your country, there is a […]
Okay, so this is an idea I have been throwing around for a while and thought I may as well jump on it and see how it goes! Sparked by the idea of dropping in at boxes while traveling, and by the awesome connections I’ve made via social networking with Crossfitters, I wanted to find […]

I have been doing Crossfit for under two years and have competed in a handful of competitions, including a couple of individual competitions (here and here), two partner competitions (here and here), and one team competition.

Confession time. Despite me being on board with telling people to throw out the scale and that gaining weight when working out doesn’t matter, I still weigh myself quite regularly. As in, every Wednesday morning at 7:15 regularly. It’s all in a notebook aside my bed on the night stand. Date, body weight, body fat percentage […]

Happy, happy, Friday!! For those who don’t know, I do finance/accounting as my “real” job, and for those who are in the industry I am sure you can map my blogging schedule based on accounting periods; busy times of the month my social media life is about non-existent and slow times, all of a sudden […]
