If you have been following my blog for any amount of time, you may know that I have had a history of crying during Crossfit. As much as I hate to admit it, there were plenty more times than just those I confessed on the blog like here, here, here, oh, and here’s another. And one […]

You are only as strong as you think you are. Well, I am only as strong as I think I am. I have been whining about my lack of progress on the back squat for about a year. Last summer, I PRed the lift at 150# (body-weight around 135#) and since then, it has stalled. […]

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 […]

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?

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. […]

My name is Jennifer, and it has been 5 months three hours since my last post-WOD cry. 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 […]

Friday marked seven weeks since I last ran or jumped, other than some minor activity during a recent partner competition. 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 […]
