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.

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 […]

Once upon a time, February, 2012 to be exact, I began life in the globo gym. Months later, I later moved on to my own garage gym. I had followed New Rules of Lifting for Women and advanced to Stronglifts 5×5, falling deeper in love with the barbell. My support system was great, but was made up of just one […]

For the second year in a row, I had an opportunity to spend my weekend at the Crossfit Games Central East Regionals. We were fortunate to have a team from our sister-box, Plymouth Crossfit, compete, including one of my coaches, Lynn, but I would have attended even if we didn’t have a team to support!

While there are probably hundreds of lessons that I could pull from my Crossfit experiences thus far, I think one main lesson that Crossfit can teach us is that, “Patience is a virtue,” one of the many wise quotes that my dad used to always say, but one that I often to have to remind myself. […]

If you remember not too long ago, I was boasting about using Eat To Perform for Crossfit, liberating myself from the paleo prison I was trapped in and opening my diet up to foods that not only make me feel better overall, but help to fuel my Crossfit performance. A plan that encouraged white rice and […]
