  • Get on the Happy Train

    I am feeling really good today. This morning’s workout was tough but good and the group of athletes at 6a are a bunch of really fun people. Here we are, people from all backgrounds and reasons why we are there — from a 17 year old adding CrossFit to improve his wrestling performance, to middle…

  • Work, Rest, Work, Rest

    Some days are definitely harder than others — day 3 of the challenge has come and gone and I was hungry yesterday and did indeed give in. I didn’t eat ‘bad’ food but it definitely had some additives. I do notice though that with no dairy or other crap, I feel good. NO heavy fog around me,…

  • Monday is another word for Workout

    I did pretty darn well yesterday during day 2 of the whole life challenge and really do feel better. No crap in = no crap out. I did the benchmark workout this morning for the challenge – man the worst part for me was the 800m run. The air is cold, my lungs hurt and…

  • Whole Life Challenge – Getting Focused!

    Starting today — I am participating in the The CFI Whole Life Challenge – an 8-week intensive health and fitness challenge created to calibrate your entire being towards a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners, no-excuses, gettin’-everything-out-of-it lifetime of physical and mental excellence.

  • Let’s talk about something — excuses!

    Let’s talk about something — excuses! Why do people have so many excuses about why they aren’t working on their fitness and health? I am creating a Whole Life Challenge at my CrossFit box and if athletes don’t want to do it –no big deal. No pressure –  you make changes when you are ready…

  • Wrists & Shoulders Fail me Now

    I thought all the ladies out there could use some yummy eye candy this morning –especially those in Northern VA who are ‘enjoying’ the rain. This cloudy day made it very tough for me to get up out of bed –  not going to lie. My old friend, the sleep monster, almost talked me right…

  • The CrossFit Lifestyle

    Have you read this yet? I don’t like the word Cult — I prefer the word lifestyle. Inside the Cult of CrossFit The world’s hottest new workout system is also the most controversial. Are you ready to join the WOD squad?  THE APPEAL OF CROSSFIT—A CONDITIONING program that mixes Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, calisthenics, gymnastics, sprints, plyometrics,…

  • Death by Intervals

    I went and got my mammogram yesterday. It wasn’t bad at all — it’s amazing how they get whatever boob you have and squish it in between these plate like things. A few minutes of being uncomfortable is no biggie. I am telling you, after seeing what my husband had to go through first hand…

  • Monday, Monday

    It’s back to my routine. My husband has returned from his work/fun trip to Vegas. It’s been a long week without him and of course one of my kids gets sick. I took her to the Dr early Saturday morning –and skipped my normal workout and sure enough she has strep. We spent the day…
