  • Keep Moving Forward

    I am focused on moving forward. That will be my new mantra. If it doesn’t help me grow, progress and move forward –then it’s a waste of brain space. My mind has been racing and I have been having trouble sleeping. So – moving forward is what I need to concentrate on.   It was…

  • Back to School 2013

    Today is the big day — Back to School 2013. Hard to believe it’s September and that my kids are growing up this fast. Hannah is heading to middle school and Nate is a proud fourth grader this year! I am so proud of both of them and hope this year strengthens their love of…

  • Everywhere There are Signs

    You know how you see signs to make changes all around you, and you acknowledge the signs, but you try to ignore them, or find excuses or reasons why it’s not the right time? Yeah, well that has been happening to me for the past year or so, and I have been purposely ignoring it.…

  • Eat Right & Stay Fit – It will pay off

    Been a very busy weekend –but today, I had a PR. I did 11 strict pull ups in a WOD round! STRICT PULL UPs! I was so happy.  To me pull-ups are a sign of real strength – when I started over 5+ years ago, I couldn’t do ONE! That made my day and it’s…

  • Packing Light

    I knew it was going to rain today — a sinus headache started last night when the pressure dropped. I figured a good workout this morning would help clear it up and it did temporarily – while I was suffering but it’s back now. Which brings me to this article I read — not that…

  • Breaking Bad is Back!

    This weekend was good — got in some great workouts, got some crap done around the house, my Hannah Bea came home, saw a movie with my Silver Fox and… Breaking Bad was on! If you aren’t watching this show, go stream it from the beginning and stick with it. I almost gave up on…

  • Can We all Be Kind: Practicing Kindness

    It’s Friday – Friday – Friday! Can you tell how happy I am this week is over? It’s busy season at my job, so people’s stress levels are high, tempers are short and we all have too much to do. I am lucky that I genuinely like what I do because it really does make…

  • CrossFit: Seeing Progress

    I was so busy yesterday I forgot to post! It was my rest day so nothing fitness related happened except — I rested like it was my job!  I am going on vacation the middle of next week and I really need it! I need some sun, relaxation and rest. I thought this article was…

  • Re-Focus and Remind

    Have you ever done Plate Drills? OMG they are brutal and were part of today’s WOD. Highbar adds in some Isometric work in addition to the traditional and I love it. Well, I don’t love it when I am in the middle of doing them but the results show. I recently found out two women…

  • 31 Heroes Over the Weekend

    31 Heroes workout is in the books – it was a tough workout even with a partner. Noble CrossFit paired me up with a nice young girl named Rebecca and we did our best with 75# thrusters, rope climbs, 25+/- sand bag runs and 24′ box jumps. This was the first time I ever climbed…
