Fundamentals for Changing the World
I am so happy to hear the news today about the SCOTUS decision on Prop 8. I have always thought –who the heck cares what people do who want to be together and is based on love? How can that be bad? Who am I to judge? People are people and are allowed to have…

Dealing With Change
It was a very hot and muggy morning and I slept in since I have the week off and went to a later morning class at Highbar CrossFit. I am feeling so great about the progress I have been making and the stuff I am learning with new coaches. I have never really done any…

Keep Cool and Hydrated
It’s getting hot and humid so the first thing I want to do is remind everyone to HYDRATE! One of the guys this AM blacked out a bit while doing his back squat because of dehydration. It’s no joke. I have been using Nuun in my water to make sure I have enough electrolytes. Saturday during…

Keep Moving
Had a great weekend — Scott’s dad and his g/f Patty came for a visit and we got to celebrate Father’s day with three generations of Hoaglunds. I love having my kids around their family and wished it happened more often! Time is so short so being able to appreciate and learn about where you came from…

Front Rack Thrusters
The programming over at Highbar CrossFit seems to be a lot more challenging for me even scaled to my own ability. I love it because it’s really pushing me to stretch my abilities but i hate it because it’s really pushing me! I am starting to get to know some of the regular athletes too…

Body Image Battles
Last night I was reading It’s Hard Out There For a Fit Chick — about the struggle so many women (fit or not) go through with regards to weight and body image. A few weeks ago, I mentioned how when I look back at pictures from a few years ago, I distinctly remembering how fat I…
