Wine to Weightlifting

The dramatic life of Jennifer

February 13, 2013

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 […]

I registered for the Crossfit Open and First No “Girly” Push-Ups Check-in!!

February 11, 2013

I was completely inspired by Claire of The Ascent Blog and her Spending Fast that I wanted to implement it myself, partially out of necessity, but also because it is easy for me to justify everything I buy. I’m a bargain shopper, and a coupon clipper, so if it’s not on sale, I probably won’t […]

Product Review: Vitacare Dental Products

February 7, 2013

Do you ever feel that without some strict structure in your life, things get all chaotic? For example, I did not do a meal plan this weekend but knew I had plenty of food at home to make sure I wouldn’t starve. However not knowing what I was going to eat each day just makes […]

Syphus Training claims to have the #hardestworkout.. is it?

Review: Crossfit Equipment – FringeSport Gymnastic Rings!

February 5, 2013

Sadly, when I had to give up my “slippers,” I also lost a big portion of my home gym. All that is left is a kettlebell, an empty barbell, and a PVC pipe. As much as I think body-weight exercises are awesome and can very effective, and even though I have a box to go […]

100 Push-ups? Join the “Goodbye Girly Push-ups Challenge”!

February 4, 2013

Can you do 100 push-ups? And not “girly push-ups?” I sure can’t. I remember the first time I was able to do ten real push-ups, yet since then, I have not really progressed further. I have been struggling in my Crossfit workouts anytime there are push-ups involved, and as an alternative to strict push-ups, I have […]

Review: Simply Snackin’ Jerky!

February 3, 2013

As much as I would love to say I eat real, whole foods 100% of the time, the reality is that life is rarely that perfect. Sometimes it is much easier to just have a grab-and-go type of snack for situations like if you are running late for work in the morning, if you need a quick […]

WODs, Lifting, and now Crossfit Endurance?

January 30, 2013

I have decided to commit to Crossfit a minimum 4x a week (Two Crossfit WOD classes, two Crossfit Endurance classes, with a likely 5th day reserved for strict Olympic lifting sessions). The tentative schedule, which has been working for the past couple weeks is: I was quite pleased to find out that my box offers not only typical […]
