Disclaimer: I was hooked up with an awesome custom-made JournalMENU Crossfit log book in exchange for a review. All opinions are completely my own. I have always been a fan of logging my workouts, from back when I started NROLFW using a combination of an excel spreadsheet and my blog, to Stronglifts using their app, […]

..than what? ..than who? If you are anything like me, you put a lot of time, effort, and emotion into your training program, whether it be Crossfit, running, a Beachbody program, or just training for aesthetics. You log you workouts. You put in the work. You make changes outside of the gym to complement the work that […]

Happy Friday! Last weekend, I got to spectate a Crossfit competition (gotta love when you get to watch the horrible WODs over doing them..!). I was just a bit bummed I wasn’t competing, but it was the same weekend as my scheduled Tough Mudder. When I made the decision not to do Mudder, it was […]

Eat healthily, be healthy. Eat unhealthily, be unhealthy. It seems simple enough, but what all does it mean to be healthy? What happens when healthy behaviors trigger unhealthy actions? A while back, I briefly talked about struggling with switching from paleo to Eat to Perform and had all sorts of mixed emotions going into it. […]

I had quite a different post scheduled for today, ironically another one to showcase some of my neurotic tendencies, such as becoming overwhelmed if my phone has more than 4 text messages waiting for me and I cannot answer everyone […]

While this sounds like part of a twelve-step program, the inability to run has been a bit of a blessing in disguise. Without drawing out the catastrophic event that caused the injury (to which there is […]

Crossfit is a gateway drug. When most people sign up for Crossfit, they are tricked into thinking that they are signing up for a workout; for the high-intensity interval training, the heavy lifting, the gymnastics. The perception is that you will walk in, crank up your beast mode, suffer (or endure) a hardcore workout, succeeded by lying on the floor in a […]

First off, I appreciate the overwhelming number of positive comments regarding my last post about the haters I recently experienced. You all were awesome at defending me and saying just the right things to outweigh the hurtful comments, and is makes me love my community, online and offline, that much more. I have no problem speaking my […]

A while back I wrote a post about Crossfit and dating. It was not meant to make me come off as shallow or pretentious or anything; rather it was me finally finding a happy place in being by myself. It was months after having my heart broken, and it was through Crossfit that I was able to […]

Is anyone else in the Midwest area? I am absolutely loving these early-fall type temperatures we have been having in Michigan! Yesterday was the first time I put on a pair of jeans since probably June; I have been living in sundresses and skirts for work and going out, and rocking the short shorts for staying […]
