  • Filthy Fifty

    Today was Oktoberfest at CrossFit Impavidus and we did a workout that had something for the kids and the adults.  We did the Filthy Fifty and the kids got to do it too –but scaled for them. That’s one of the things I love about CrossFit — kids, teens, adults, seniors: it can be scaled…

  • Good Intentions

    I have been on the verge of tears all day –and I am not sure if they are tears of sadness or tears of anger, or both. I have worked so hard to improve myself the past few years. I have been through some heavy shit starting with — My husband had cancer! Fucking Cancer…

  • Be the change you wish to see in the world

    Did I have a better day yesterday? Yes and No. I am processing some things that have happened this week and have come to the conclusion that I can’t continue to deal with it the way I have been. I need to respond and react differently this time – If I don’t, it will definitely…

  • Sometimes you need a good kick in the …

    I seriously had a really bad day yesterday. I am finding more and more people that I thought I knew – really are only in it for themselves. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I have to learn to not be so open and trusting to everyone. The people in my…

  • Strong is the new Skinny.

    I needed something happy today — And here it is –arrived today! A tank from Strong is the new Skinny.

  • CrossFit was the Funnest Part of my Day

    It’s been a super crazy day — very stressful at work and I haven’t had a minute to take a breath. I’m glad I got my workout in, because I needed it and will need a serious stress reliever tomorrow too. Warmup 25 DUs 10 Pass Thrus 5 Kick to Handstands 10 Push Ups Skill…

  • There is such a thing as too many choices…

    Do You Suffer From Decision Fatigue? This makes so much sense to me. There are way too many choices out there for people and “Ducking a decision often creates bigger problems in the long run, but for the moment, it eases the mental strain.” Ain’t that the truth… Decision fatigue helps explain why ordinarily sensible…

  • Who wouldn’t get up for this kind of fun?

    Yesterday, I went to the dentist and had to get a crown. Yuck — it’s painful and sensitive. Not my idea of fun but it had to be done! So I’m a bit cranky as I deal with how freakin uncomfortable it is. Lately I have had a very negative attitude about a lot of…

  • Koyaanisqatsi- Life out of Balance

    For some reason, Sunday nights I can’t sleep. My mind won’t shut off and i toss and turn. As you can imagine that makes for a rough wake up. But as you also can imagine, I get up anyway.  I’m tired! I spent the better part of yesterday going through everything, and i mean, EVERYTHING,…

  • Should you do it Rx’d?

    Intensity in CrossFit: Should You Do It RX’d CrossFit work outs have certain recommended weights for exercises — but as I have said before, you can scale depending on your own fitness level. Many CF athletes don’t feel right unless they do it as prescribed on the board. The reality is you have to make your…
