I have been on a self-induced rest period for the past six days. I know that taking time off is not a bad thing, especially if you have something limited you from working out, such as me hurting my back. However, can I just tell you the past six days have felt like an eternity […]

One year ago today, I wrote my very first blog post, not knowing a thing in the world about blogging, networking, or self-promotion. I created the blog to document my progress with New Rules of Lifting for Women, and to hope to gain followers on my journey and to encourage other women to do the […]

I continue to say this both in my blog and in my real life world, but Crossfit changes a person more than just at the physical level. There are huge mental barriers to break through, and it could cause an emotional rollercoaster of exhilaration, frustration, nervousness, ambition, and confidence. There is so much more that […]

Have you ever felt that the universe just needs to create balance? You know, for every action there is an opposite, but equal reaction? This week so far has been a nice balance or the world trying to keep me in check. So Sunday night, this happened: Horrible! And what makes it worse is that […]

After my pity party the other day, I wanted to say that I have decided that I do need to take a step back and focus on me, and what I’m doing in the box, and pay less attention to everyone else. I’ve had two great workouts in a row (Saturday and Monday) that despite […]

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 […]
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 […]
