  • A Well-Balanced Meal? I Don’t Think So…

    I was driving home this morning and listening to the radio. A McDonald’s commercial came on talking about updates to the Happy Meal. The Happy Meal will now include fries AND apple slices for a ‘well balanced meal’. Isn’t that fabulous!!  Now come on — if you are going to sell it, don’t add in the…

  • A Mini-Pain-Miracle Ball – The Lacrosse Ball

    Today has been busy so I am just getting to my blog now — at almost 7p at night. Not my normal routine that’s for sure — I want to make sure to talk about rolling out your sore muscles and the main tool I use. I am sore, often. Crossfit is known for that…

  • Worth Fighting For

    I feel somewhat better although I am still working things through and it is showing up in all sorts of ways. I am beyond exhausted and at times – feel weepy. A good side to having to deal with this stress, I have gotten some great support and advice. My community of friends, in real…

  • Go Heavy!

    I will make this a good week for me — let go of fear, act like an adult with the best of intentions. No more losing sleep, being weepy, trying to rationalize situations in my head. I started it off with a great workout — it was a heavy lifting day. Some people don’t understand…

  • Filthy Fifty

    Today was Oktoberfest at CrossFit Impavidus and we did a workout that had something for the kids and the adults.  We did the Filthy Fifty and the kids got to do it too –but scaled for them. That’s one of the things I love about CrossFit — kids, teens, adults, seniors: it can be scaled…

  • Sometimes you need a good kick in the …

    I seriously had a really bad day yesterday. I am finding more and more people that I thought I knew – really are only in it for themselves. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I have to learn to not be so open and trusting to everyone. The people in my…

    I needed something happy today — And here it is –arrived today! A tank from Strong is the new Skinny.

  • CrossFit was the Funnest Part of my Day

    It’s been a super crazy day — very stressful at work and I haven’t had a minute to take a breath. I’m glad I got my workout in, because I needed it and will need a serious stress reliever tomorrow too. Warmup 25 DUs 10 Pass Thrus 5 Kick to Handstands 10 Push Ups Skill…

  • Who wouldn’t get up for this kind of fun?

    Yesterday, I went to the dentist and had to get a crown. Yuck — it’s painful and sensitive. Not my idea of fun but it had to be done! So I’m a bit cranky as I deal with how freakin uncomfortable it is. Lately I have had a very negative attitude about a lot of…

  • Koyaanisqatsi- Life out of Balance

    For some reason, Sunday nights I can’t sleep. My mind won’t shut off and i toss and turn. As you can imagine that makes for a rough wake up. But as you also can imagine, I get up anyway.  I’m tired! I spent the better part of yesterday going through everything, and i mean, EVERYTHING,…
