  • Don’t Let the Alarm Win!

    This morning was tough. I was prepared to not go – I’m going to switch up my workouts a bit and add in some yoga and running. My body is sore and hasn’t had time to really recover properly. So, im am considering dropping to 3-4 workouts a week and add in more stretching. I…

  • Listening to your Body

    I should have listened to my body this morning and stayed in bed. I just didn’t have it in me to push this morning — but I am glad I went. If you don’t follow the CrossFit Games open, the 2nd workout was announced last night. It’s the Snatch! It’s a hard lift for sure–…

  • I love the Feeling of Tabatas in the Morning

    I love going to workout in the AM. It’s like hanging out with your friends for an hour every day — we laugh, support and egg each other on. Today was no exception — and I liked the workout! It was one of those basically using your body weight and going at it hard –a…

  • Are You Mentally Tough?

    Mental Toughness One of the big points in the book is the “will to power”, which basically means that when you conquer yourself and get rid of everything that has once held you back, you can “will” yourself to do anything. This is really difficult to achieve, but think about how much it could help…

  • If you aren’t in it to win it, you won’t

    As great as the competition was on Saturday, it left me wiped out. My shoulders and traps are tight and sore. Who would think that burpees could cause so much uncomfort? They seem so innocent but doing 10 a minute for 7 mins is just carazy!!  On the CrossFit Games scoreboard – there are athletes…

  • CrossFit Games 12.1 Workout – Complete!

    I’m pretty much wiped out from my workout today. I did the CrossFit Games Workout 12.1 – 7minutes of Burpees. Total reps is your score. I do not like burpees — I was all excited/nervous gearing up for this workout. Not sure why — it’s a competition and I guess that’s normal. I also in…

  • Ah Yeah! Burpees!

    I struggled a bit with today’s workout. The feeling of having to struggle through a workout is not something I enjoy obviously and think I should have dropped the weight at the onset so I could get through it without it feeling like torture. There is next time… So I am sure most of you…

  • Get ready for the Reebok CrossFit Games!

    It’s amazing how much better I feel when I eat properly. It’s like night and day. Yesterday, no non-paleo food was eaten and I woke up feeling great. The past week or so I have woken up feeling groggy and sluggish and it carried throughout the day. My stomach was not right either. Today —…

  • Your Mind: your best friend or your worst enemy

    It’s a Monday Like day for most of us after the holiday — my kids were sluggish and slow to get up and out of the house on time this morning and it was chilly on my way to workout – which means I have to dig deeper to head out the door. Today’s workout…
