I am still on cloud nine thinking about my newest niece, Simone Leigh, who arrived in the world on Thursday January 2 -weighing in at 8lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. There is something about a new baby to renew your spirit.

 

I woke up this morning feeling great – I remembered to take my magnesium supplement Natural Calm which really helps. I can completely tell the difference when I remember to take it. And yesterday, I started listening to a meditation series that my coach, Dan, suggested.  Kelly Howell – Healing Mediation. I’m not sure if that is helping yet –it’s been only one day, but I did feel overall better yesterday too. So – time will tell.

My friend David stopped by Highbar CrossFit this morning to workout. He has been in Kabal for a bit now and has been spending his time reconnecting. It was so great to see him – and his beard rocks!

I also had a great lifting day — was able to squat clean 105# with no issue. I wanted to continue to lift after time was up because I was feeling the groove of the lift. But the WOD was calling my name so I shifted gears.
