  • Strength is the Focus

    It was a busy weekend full of CrossFit WODs!  Saturday morning- I worked on my pull ups and ended with a WOD that one could call brutal, and then Sunday – HighBar CrossFit was scheduled to have a photographer come to take some shots for their website and unfortunately they had an emergency and couldn’t…

  • The Scale Is Not a Definition Of Your Worth

    My friend Will from CFI came to do a workout with me this morning. It meant so much to me that he took the time to come to hang out with me. I have met the most amazing people through CrossFit. It’s one of the best things about it all — I feel great and…

  • Quieting The Mind

    Today’s workout was tough — I knew I was going to have a hard time as soon as I walked in. I realized my energy wasn’t where it needed to be this morning. I have finished Day Three of my refocus/detox and my body is mad at me. I also had a ton of stuff…

  • Open Your Mind about The Ideal

    Sunday morning, as I was doing my regular grocery shopping I saw Camille Leblanc-Bazinet on the cover of Oxygen Magazine in the check out line. I was so proud to see her mainstream.

  • Focus on the Work

    I come across quite a few posts dealing with body image the past week or so – all trying to combat the myth around the number of the scale dictating how fit you are and how this idea of the perfect body is a myth. The Dirty Little Secret of the Female Athlete: Cellulite Stop…

  • Progress means Changing

    Yesterday morning, I tried some Hot Yoga for Beginners at Flow Yoga in Ashburn. It was challenging for sure, but not as hard as I thought it would be. All that mobility that I do – day in and out – seems to work. I definitely need to work on flexibility and mobility though so…

  • Perspective and Perception

    This is such an important quote to take to heart. I have been around some people that inspire me to be better, to want to work harder and I have been around people that suck the wind out of you – and drag you down. Sometimes this can be one and same the person at…
