Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

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 […]

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 […]

Liebster Award: Part II

by ~jenniferlynn on December 9, 2012

in Me

While I did complete a Liebster post months ago, I was recently nominated again by Miss Connie of Livin’ Lean (and I know I still have a survey to complete from Jenn at FitAppetit, but her questions are much more thought-provoking, so I haven’t had a chance to work on it yet)! For those of you […]

November Goals Recap and December Goals

by ~jenniferlynn on December 3, 2012

in Believe I Am, Goals

On top of my ever-changing goal page on my blog, I like to set a focus each month in various categories to help push and motivate me rather than aimlessly blogging and working out! When I set up my goals for November, I focused on five main categories: blog, food, lifting, cardio, and other. Let’s […]

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 […]

Detroit Turkey Trot Recap!

by ~jenniferlynn on November 23, 2012

in Goals, Running

After a long month of training, I finally am able to check another goal off my list – Complete a 10k! Before my last 5k, I have always had issues after my runs. I would feel exhausted, sick, miserable. I would need to take at least two days of rest to recover from the three […]

Twas the night before the Turkey Trot..

by ~jenniferlynn on November 21, 2012

in Me, Running

Reality has hit. Tomorrow is my very first 10k! It’s kind of funny; I have freaked out about every single 5k that I have done in the past, and even though I am less than excited about this run tomorrow and I will admit that I am scared, I am not freaking out. At least […]

Obligatory Halloween Post

by ~jenniferlynn on October 31, 2012

in Me

I am not a big celebrator of Halloween; I don’t usually have anywhere to go to get all dressed up and we get about five kids trick or treating, so I don’t even pass out candy. Call me a Halloween-Scrooge or whatever. 😛 But our company had an office-decorating contest at work, and while our finance/accounting […]
