Wine to Weightlifting

The Ups and Downs of a PR

May 14, 2013

There is always a bit of friendly competition that goes on within my Crossfit box. First and foremost, you are always competing with yourself. With each workout, you can notice progress from how you performed the time before or how you feel afterwards. If you repeat a WOD, you strive to go heavier, or faster, […]

Health and Wellness Review: Natural ReCharge

May 12, 2013

Since I started working out more seriously and eating healthier, I have never been so in tune with my body, nor have I started to pay more attention to any ailments or discomfort. Since eating cleaner, I’m more cognizant of what I am putting into my body, which makes it difficult to buy into the […]

Crossfit and Dating: Can the two co-exist?

May 3, 2013

“How many of the speed dating guys emailed you so far?” my mother asked me last weekend. If you remember I briefly mentioned on the blog that I went speed dating a couple of weeks ago. Half of the time I was there, I was bummed about missing out on Deadlift Day, and as much as I tried not […]

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Camilla!

May 2, 2013

Do you ever passively stalk websites but you never feel right commenting or posting? I’ve stalked tgipaleo.com for awhile but never really piped in. I had her in my Google Reader under “Paleo Food” sites so when I was in need of a recipe, I’d skim that list, but often her content was overlooked. But […]

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Dawn!

When I started blogging I never really understood Twitter. I’d get overwhelmed and confused by all of the RT and #hashtag and #FF and other crazy terms. But I read a lot about it being a great networking tool, so stuck with it. Thankfully I have because otherwise I would have not ever met this […]

Pre-Crossfit Competition Jitters and Workout Struggles

April 24, 2013

Why is it so hard to take a rest day? Every week, I have been taking Wednesdays off. It’s nothing new, nothing special. It just fits in nicely with working out Monday, Tuesday (double WOD), Thursday (double WOD), Friday. But today, I’m especially struggling with taking the day off. I’m blaming it on pre-competition jitters.. Since […]

Endorphin Warrior Training Bracelets: Product Review and Giveaway! (contest closed)

April 24, 2013

Do you have a personal mantra? One of my favorite words I like to think about when I am struggling in either workouts or just when life is stressing me out is BREATHE. I mentioned this in my recent post on Fashletics Crossfit Jewelry, but it is such a great word that is just relevant in any situation. I […]
