No Excuses!
Another rough night of sleep makes for a tough wake up at 515A. But my inner voice no longer tries to talk me out of it. Instead it tells me how upset I will be if I don’t go. Motivation is a muscle that gets stronger over time as well… Warmupx3 20 Double Unders 10…

CrossFit: Helen
I’m very sleepy this morning — I did not sleep well and woke up a bit worse for wear. For a brief moment I considered going back to sleep but nope, not gonna happen. I got up and got my butt in gear — I had such a nice weekend – hard to go back…

A Doozy of a Workout
The weather in DC area is so beautiful..60s-70s. I feel guilty enjoying it so much. It’s hard to believe that Spring will be here before you know and that means Spring Forward – more sunlight, more time for outdoors and more Vitamin D! The 3rd workout in the games was announced yesterday — and of…

Does She Look Bulky To You?
I think these pictures are the way most women fear looking like if they lift weights. I am not saying that these women look good or bad — it’s just not the ideal picture of what most women out there think they want to look like and for so many, they attribute lifting heavy weights/strength…
