  • Playing on the Rings

    I was thinking last night how sometimes I feel like an old lady  — I go to bed super early and sleep like a rock most nights. A bunch of us were laughing yesterday at how well we sleep — finish a hard workout, put in a full day at your 9-5, parent — you…

  • Happy Columbus Day, now get to it!

    Good Morning People! It is indeed Columbus Day and I am not off from my job. My husband and kids are still snug in their beds so it was quite the bummer to come home after my workout and not have hot coffee waiting for me. Life is about adjustments people! After Saturday’s brutal workout,…

  • Is Parenting the Reason you are Fat?

    Does Parenthood Make you Fat?   they didn’t seem to mention the fact that many parents lose themselves as they become parents. They lose their identity and become known as “mom” or “dad”. Sometimes a research study comes along with results that are just plain depressing, and today, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, is…

  • Get it Done!

    Last night I had my cheat meal — Indian Food! YUM!! I asked if the tikka masala was Gluten Free and she said yes yes of course –let’s hope she was right. It was delish! Warmup 50 DUs 10 Cobras 10 Push ups 10 Good Mornings 10 Ring Rows WOD partner Pet Rock Hold a…

  • Gluten Free – A Fad Diet?

    What is a fad Diet? What is a fad diet? I only asked because a few commentators have suggested that gluten-free is the latest in a long line of fad diets – similar to the low carb Atkins Diet craze of a few years back, or the hunter-gatherer diet – an eating regime supposedly enjoyed…

  • Don’t Waste Time…

    Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. — Steve Jobs

  • Overhead Squats for your Core Workout

    The news of Steve Jobs hit hard. Not only are we a tech family – the hubby loves his MAC – we are also one of the many families who have dealt with cancer. Last night I thought about Steve Job’s family. How hard it must be for them. They didn’t lose an icon. They…

  • Goodbye to an amazing innovator: Steve Jobs

    Very sad to hear about Steve Jobs – no other way to say it — Cancer Sucks. Cancer doesn’t discriminate — you can be super rich, poor, male, female, short, tall, fat, thin, happy, sad, black, white, old, young — http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/ ‎”I’ve looked at myself in the mirror and asked, ‘If today were the last…

  • CrossFit Girl: Cindy

    I woke up this morning and that little guy I call the sleep monster was trying to talk me out of going — I tried to bargain out of going this AM –oh I will go on Friday instead of today but then the alarm went off and instinctively I got up and started to…

  • Embrace the Suck

    Fall is really here — there is no denying it. It’s chilly and dark when I wake up. And I have to start learning to breathe in chilly weather. When the cold air hits my lungs, they seize up causing my asthma to kick in, in full gear. It was tough because OF COURSE there…
