Strong girls finish.. last?

by ~jenniferlynn on January 6, 2013

Is it unreasonable to want to be the best at everything? Like now? Okay, how about not the best, but how about at least not last? I’ve been doing this Crossfit thing for just over two weeks now, and still, I come in last. All the time. I do not consider myself an athlete, but […]

Rockin’ New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day

by ~jenniferlynn on January 2, 2013

You would think with one year ending a new year beginning, it would be nice to take it easy and enjoy the transition period.. but nope! This girl rocked Crossfit on both New Year’s Eve AND New Year’s Day! It’s funny how the mentality of Crossfit works. I struggle HARD in the classes. I see […]

Can you believe that it is just about 2013 already? While everyone else is recapping their 2012 progress and setting up 2013 goals, I wanted to do something a little different and give a little guidance for those who are trying to set goals for the new year. From a lot of the bloggers that I follow, many […]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

in CrossFit, Me

It has been over a week since I blogged and it has been honestly quite pleasant. I have checked up on Twitter and Facebook just to see the random musings over the past week, but between last-minute shopping, family functions, working out, eating poorly, and other priorities getting in the way, it felt nice to […]

I can’t say no.

If you personally know me, you will know that I have hard time saying no. I always get suckered into doing things I really don’t want to do or end up “volunteering” for projects or throwing money to one cause or another. It’s not that it’s a bad thing. It sometimes could be a blessing in disguise. I […]

I like to think that I can get big and strong by just using my sheer body and skills alone, but once in a while it is helpful to use various aids for assistance to see if there is hidden potential. When I was given an opportunity to try out the Harbinger Women’s Core Belt, I was unsure what to […]

Making a Comeback from a Health and Fitness Hiatus

by ~jenniferlynn on December 17, 2012

in Me, Working Out

I may be blogging this a little prematurely  but I write this in the hopes of bringing myself back to some health and fitness normalcy. I feel like I have been “off” since Thanksgiving. I ran my 10k, and even though I did Crossfit the two weeks following, I just haven’t fallen back into a good routine. […]

Thursday marked my last day of my Groupon deal for classes at Hines Park Crossfit. 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 […]

Days 4 and 5 of Crossfit and Nearing Decision Time

by ~jenniferlynn on December 5, 2012

in CrossFit

So I’ve now officially completed two more days of Crossfit and I’m quite sure my next class (tomorrow) is going to be my “test out”, where I graduate from being an on-ramp student to a real member (if I sign up!). I am so conflicted on what to do next!!! Maybe I’ll post a pros […]

Third day of Crossfit and gettin’ all fancy

by ~jenniferlynn on December 2, 2012

in CrossFit, Me

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 […]
