  • Getting Back to Nature

    I had a great day yesterday. The weather was perfect, I am off from work and I spent a large part of the day with my kids, outdoors being active. We went to Great Country Farms and just ran around, climbed on things — got back to nature! It was such a great day and…

  • Sugar: It’s Not Good For You

    Warmup Double Under Practice Skill Mobility WOD “Annie”  50-40-30-20 and 10 rep rounds of: Double-unders, Sit-ups. I struggled big time with Double Unders today — 13:46 was my time, which is over 1m more than last time. Some days you have it, some days you don’t. It happens – time to move on! Make sure…

  • Weekend of Busy

    I have been beyond busy this weekend — it started Friday evening with Scott and I heading over to a Happy Hour to say goodbye to one of his co-workers. It was a good time and I got to hang with people that I don’t see very often and dinner was paid for — Bonus!…

    This past weekend I kind of went a little crazy and had frozen yogurt Thurs and Friday night! We were hanging with the kids and it just felt like the right thing to do — but here’s where I learned a lesson. Before I went gluten/dairy free and mostly Paleo, I had eczema on my…

  • A Daily Struggle

    I took a rest day today not only because I need to — but I am still nursing this chest/cold thingy. Now that the CrossFit Open is done, I can go back to my normally scheduled workout life and not have to work around Saturday Open WODs. I do have to say that they definitely…

  • Yes, We are Winning!

    Yesterday was such a fun and inspiring day for me. The support and love around me while we ran the Scope it Out 5K to honor Scotty’s battle and victory was just what was needed and add to it, that Scotty ran the race made it PERFECT. Our team managed to raise $5500 for the…

    I’m off to do CrossFit 12.5 today — Chest to Bar and Thrusters! I have had a bit of a chest cold the past few days but I am not going to let it impact this workout. I am all about strength and I am focused! Let’s do this…            …

  • Make it Work!

    Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn.-C.S. Lewis Last night I headed to CrossFit for an evening workout with the kids in tow. Scott is away at a conference and I have to get my workout in. I armed the kids with distractions and off we went for 1…
