Writing these recap posts makes me so sleepy if I wait until Sunday night to put them together! Probably would make the most sense to do them as each day goes on, but really by the time I get home from the gym most days the last thing I want to do is get in […]

Many times women (and men) choose to use the scale as a measure of progress. And for those who may have a lot of weight to lose, this may be the easiest and most logical thing to do. But the rest of us, as I talked a bit more about in a recent post, we […]
I am working on being open-minded and not being so judgmental in how people choose to live their fitness lifestyles. While of course, I think Crossfit is the only way to workout (kinda, sorta, okay, I really do), I do respect those that do things like the Beachbody programs, or Zumba. Heck, I even have […]

If all of my weeks keep going like they have been, I’m going to be a Crossfit queen pretty soon. I hit a couple more PRs this week and despite having one crummy workout, I managed to put in three WODs, two Endurance classes, and an Oly Lifting class! Sadly, not much running this week, […]
It’s finally April! And sadly, winter has not officially left us here in Michigan. A couple of days lately we made it to the 50s, but it always seems to go back to frosty mornings. This week’s supposed to be a bit nicer, but of course with warmer temperatures has to come rain. Can’t have […]

If you didn’t hear me mention it in just about every Crossfit Games Open recap post thus far (13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4), participating in a worldwide competition against the fittest athletes in the world has been absolutely one of my favorite experiences thus far in Crossfit. This Wednesday, as I have done for the past four Wednesdays […]

I know I started to do a weekly recap of my workouts, but there are some things that I just want to brag talk more about, so figured I can do what I want and will dedicate whole posts to one workout if I wanted. 😉 First off.. Cindy. In Crossfit, there are many workouts […]

I think I have had an epiphany in my relationship with running. When I first started running (March, 2011), I used the Couch to 5k program and even though I had to repeat multiple days of the program, I followed the plan and knew exactly what was expected of me each day. I was able to record […]
And it’s another Sweaty Sunday workout recap! This week I beat myself up. Physically and mentally, just drained! Since I started doing the Crossfit Open Workouts (Check out 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4), my desire and drive to become a better athlete has seriously increased ten fold. I don’t just want to go to Crossfit. […]

One of the main points I am taking out of participating in the Crossfit Games Open is that my body has been able to do things I have never thought it could do, and it is making me want to push for things even more than ever. I all of a sudden have this severe […]
