  • CrossFit and Community

    We met Kelly again today at CrossFit. She is one of those mean ladies that are considered benchmarks. I woke up with a sore throat and tired and should have listened to my body more but I love the challenge of doing these benchmarks — so I went. It was tougher than I expected. I…

  • Summer Workout and the livin is easy

    I had such a good day yesterday starting with that great WOD where I kicked butt! My abs are sore and I have a lower back sore from all those sit ups but those I can live with! Yesterday was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the first day of Summer. Hard…

  • Agility Workout at CrossFit

    I feel good today. I am finally recovered from the hard workouts last week and the falling off the wagon weekend — and last week I went to see my doctor and he took some blood. He called and said that my bloodwork was great and my cholesterol was ‘excellent’. That is Paleo and CrossFit at work…

  • Squat Cleans

    Since we had family in town this weekend, we officially moved Father’s Day to next Sunday in our house.  Sometimes you have to do what you have to do — It was so fun to have my big brother here for the weekend. I love seeing my kids around their family since we don’t live…

  • A challenging workout of Jerks

    Holy cow am I sore. I know I said I love being fit and SORE but this may be a bit over the top.  Note to self – doing 50m lunges for 3 rounds and then doing 200 squats over 2 days is just not the smartest approach to fitness for me. Most people skip…

  • Go Heavy, or go Home

    I feel better – finally and just have small remnants of my cold. It’s hard to believe summer is here already. Time goes by so fast. Seeing my niece this weekend really brought that home. Scotty’s illness really brought home to me how important family is. There are no other people in the world who…

  • Meeting Isabel

    I was pretty wiped out after my long drive back from NJ yesterday. 4 hours non-stop but no traffic so that was good. There are times when I really miss the east. It’s like I just fit in there — it’s my home. I had pizza and Italian food too.   It was so nice…

  • Go get a colonoscopy

    Why you need a colonoscopy. As a family who is just recovering from all the things that go along with colon cancer — I never forget to take the time to remind people to get a colonoscopy. If you are over 50, make sure you do but if you have any family history — then…
