  • Look your Best, Embrace the Experiences

    I was thinking about the Oscars and the mundane questions that celebs get asked at events like that.  I read that there was a push to ask more insightful, less looks focused questions called Ask Her More.  It was funny to hear Kevin Spacey get asked questions usually reserved for the lady celebs. He was…

  • Aging and the Distortion of Beauty

    I have had a rough morning and it’s not even 8A! We did some new super sets yesterday morning and my shoulders and deltoids are not appreciating it very much this morning. Then when I got into the gym, I noticed a strong odor of polyurethane which for any asthmatic, is not really welcome and…

  • The Big Fight: Rousey vs McMann

    This weekend we went to a charity Martini’s mixer for a great cause: Backpack Buddies. Each week during the school year, Backpack Buddies provides weekend meals for students at local elementary schools. Each backpack contains two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, plus snacks. Backpack Buddies also provides food to our school children during the summer…

  • Go Get It in the Third Quarter

    Scott had to be at work super early this AM, so I decided to switch things up and go to a later morning class at Highbar CrossFit.  It was me and three others and a ton of fun.  I was raring to go after it was over! I watched the first show of the new Tonight…

  • February is the Dark and Dreary Month

    I am worn out — today’s workout was brutal. The kind of workout I didn’t want to do, and while I was doing it, I wanted to stop and when it was over — I didn’t feel better. I am so sore that I was having issues doing some maintenance lifting today. I definitely should…

  • Rest in Peace Ms. Shirley Temple

    If the predictions are right, the DC area is due for some big snow starting tomorrow night. Personally, I like having some snow on the ground. I find it forces people to slow down life a bit. However, the extra work attached to getting a big dump of snow is not welcome. My kids get…

  • Be Awesome

    I had the loveliest day yesterday – didn’t do anything crazy but heard from a ton of people, got treated special by my family – and got a few gifts from people that let me know that they get who I am. Of course, I indulged a bit as a birthday treat and all day…

  • Super Bowl Hangover

    I went a bit overboard yesterday during the big game – -ate some wings, had more chips and guacamole than I care to remember. I slept horribly and woke up feeling swollen from all the salt and groggy. It’s not a great feeling… Super Bowl Commercials My two favorite commercials from the Super Bowl were…

  • Know the Symptoms of a Magnesium Deficiency

    Know the Symptoms of a Magnesium Deficiency

    After working on a specific strength program for 12 weeks at Highbar CrossFit, the time has come to test and see the progress. Yesterday, I got a 5# PR on my Squat clean. Today – my back squat! PR’d by 10# to end at 220# although I think I could have done more – ran…

  • Moving On & Simplifying Your Life

    This has been a really long week – lots of great things, lots of life happening. I can honestly say I am finally starting to feel better about everything – my spirits are re-igniting. It’s about friggin’ time too. I don’t like to be in the dumps and the people around me don’t appreciate it…
