  • Baked Eggs

    Last night I tried a new recipe – Baked Eggs In a ramekin, add veggies and whatever else you are adding & a pat of butter. (I added green onions, cilantro and ham.) Then I cracked open 2 eggs on top. Salt & Pepper to taste. Bake at 350 for 12-15m or until the egg…

  • Work, Rest, Work, Rest

    Some days are definitely harder than others — day 3 of the challenge has come and gone and I was hungry yesterday and did indeed give in. I didn’t eat ‘bad’ food but it definitely had some additives. I do notice though that with no dairy or other crap, I feel good. NO heavy fog around me,…

  • Monday is another word for Workout

    I did pretty darn well yesterday during day 2 of the whole life challenge and really do feel better. No crap in = no crap out. I did the benchmark workout this morning for the challenge – man the worst part for me was the 800m run. The air is cold, my lungs hurt and…

  • A Day in the City!

    We had the most amazing time in DC. We went on a special White House tour which blew my mind and walked around the city at night. I love being in a city. That is something I realized walking around — I really love being in a city. i wish I had lived in a…

  • Spreading the word about Cancer

    Hannah was asked to speak at a local American Cancer Society event this evening. She wrote her speech herself, with no help from us and while she was reading it — many of the people in the room were brought to tears. I was so proud of her and how poised she was and the…

  • Let’s talk about something — excuses!

    Let’s talk about something — excuses! Why do people have so many excuses about why they aren’t working on their fitness and health? I am creating a Whole Life Challenge at my CrossFit box and if athletes don’t want to do it –no big deal. No pressure –  you make changes when you are ready…

  • Healthy Eating

    Five myths about healthy eating We don’t need advertisers to tell us that candy is delicious. Humans were big fans of fat and sugar long before the idiot box was invented. We’re programmed to go for the good (bad) stuff. Sure, Kellogg’s and General Mills have big advertising budgets, but they’re nowhere near as powerful…

  • Wrists & Shoulders Fail me Now

    I thought all the ladies out there could use some yummy eye candy this morning –especially those in Northern VA who are ‘enjoying’ the rain. This cloudy day made it very tough for me to get up out of bed –  not going to lie. My old friend, the sleep monster, almost talked me right…
