20140822 Friday Finds

August 22, 2014

Happy Friday! Last weekend, I got to spectate a Crossfit competition (gotta love when you get to watch the horrible WODs over doing them..!). I was just a bit bummed I wasn’t competing, but it was the same weekend as my scheduled Tough Mudder. When I made the decision not to do Mudder, it was […]

Shop CrossFit Reebok Summer Sale for 30 off!

August 20, 2014

This post is sponsored by Shop CrossFit Reebok, but all thoughts are my own. Did you guys know there is a separate Reebok site, specifically for Crossfit gear? There is a lot of gear on this site that cannot be found in the normal Reebok store, and a lot of it is exclusive to boxes and […]

Basic Guide to Eat to Perform

August 20, 2014

A lot of people have asked me questions on Eat to Perform and how to get started. I strongly encourage if you are interested that you buy the book, as you also get access to their online forum (I am not affiliated nor sponsored by them so not making any sort of commission on referring […]

Crossfit, paleo, and orthorexia: When “healthy” goes unhealthy

August 18, 2014

Eat healthily, be healthy. Eat unhealthily, be unhealthy. It seems simple enough, but what all does it mean to be healthy? What happens when healthy behaviors trigger unhealthy actions? A while back, I briefly talked about struggling with switching from paleo to Eat to Perform and had all sorts of mixed emotions going into it. […]

20140815 Friday Finds

August 15, 2014

I cannot tell you how many times I have claimed to be a horrible homeowner. My advice to anyone under the age 30: Wait until you are ready to buy a house. Seriously, I envy those in a one-bedroom apartment and my main reason for staying where I am at is so my pup has […]

Reebok Nano 4.0 and an At-Home Crossfit WOD

August 14, 2014

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok. Since my minor little melt-down the other day at Crossfit, my coach had suggested that I take a bit of time away from the barbell (what?!), step back from Olympic lifting for a moment (noooo….), and focus on having fun. Well, I use […]

When nothing goes right, stop and refocus

August 12, 2014

My name is Jennifer, and it has been 5 months three hours since my last post-WOD cry. I had quite a different post scheduled for today, ironically another one to showcase some of my neurotic tendencies, such as becoming overwhelmed if my phone has more than 4 text messages waiting for me and I cannot answer everyone […]

When nothing goes right, go lift

August 11, 2014

Friday marked seven weeks since I last ran or jumped, other than some minor activity during a recent partner competition. While this sounds like part of a twelve-step program, the inability to run has been a bit of a blessing in disguise. Without drawing out the catastrophic event that caused the injury (to which there is […]

20140808 Friday Finds

August 8, 2014

Does anyone else get really excited when it is “Back to School” season? I went into Target the other day looking for a blank journal and was more giddy seeing the displays of crisp notebooks and perfectly-sharpened crayons and virgin markers.  I have not taken a class in (dang!) over four years, but it was […]

Crossfit is a gateway drug

August 6, 2014

Crossfit is a gateway drug. When most people sign up for Crossfit, they are tricked into thinking that they are signing up for a workout; for the high-intensity interval training, the heavy lifting, the gymnastics. The perception is that you will walk in, crank up your beast mode, suffer (or endure) a hardcore workout, succeeded by lying on the floor in a […]
