  • Being Less Judgmental Day to Day

    I came across a blog post by one of my CrossFit friends who runs Craic in MA – and it enhanced a previous blog post I wrote last week – how not judging others is one of the hardest behaviors for so many of us to do. Think about all the ways you judge things in the course of a…

  • Four Tips To Live A Happier Life

    I came across this list from the book The Four Agreements. I think we would all agree that these 4 tips are a good road map for anyone but like most everything, not always the easiest to always act upon. But we should all at least try to live by them… The Four Agreements Quotes 1. Be impeccable with…

  • Tips To Help Gain Perspective

    I was overcome with how many people “liked” my FB post about Scott’s cancerversary.  Reminds me how lucky we are to have so many people in our lives supporting and loving us. It was a great day all around including me getting my hair done – doing my hair and buying shoes are sure fire ways of making…

  • Splenda: Not A Good Addition To The Morning Coffee

    My brother sent me some info this week on Splenda. You know the made from sugar, tastes like sugar sweetener. My dirty little secret is I use one packet in my coffee daily. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine and I look forward to my cup of joe each morning. After reading these research findings-…

  • USA Soccer: Bringing Out Our National Spirit

    Yesterday’s soccer game was so thrilling and even though the USA team lost to Belgium, I am still in awe of how awesome our players are. I had no idea how awesome soccer players are in general –great athletes and amazing to look at too. That’s a great combination for sure. I love when world sports’…

  • Could You Have Adrenal Fatigue?

    Today’s yoga class theme was all about listening to your body which was quite timely as I have been following an interesting discussion in a Master’s CrossFit Group (+40 years old) all about feeling like you need a break and adrenal fatigue. Here is the post that started the very active discussion: It’s the first…

  • Life Does Not Equal A Zero Sum Balance

    During yoga class yesterday, Tori, our instructor, talked about coveting someone else’s place in the world – or more specifically coveting what someone else has can somehow degrade or cancel out what you have. A Zero Sum Balance.  In Yoga practice, looking at others in the room and wishing you could be as flexible as…

  • The Goal Is To Get Fit And Have Fun

    What I have discovered over the course of the past month or so and mixing up my fitness routine is I was/am burned out from strength and conditioning training. I think the one year mark tends to be the time when I start craving something different. With that in mind, I have decided to stop going…

  • Exercise Induced Asthma and Being Athletic

    Happy Monday folks! It seems like everyone in my house has been battling a bug the past few days – coughing, achy and cranky. And today’s Highbar workout had running in it — and yes, it did cause a coughing fit.  It frustrates me to no end that my lung capacity is limited when I work out…

  • Change: A Constant In Every Life

    So instead of my usual Highbar CrossFit class this morning, I slept in and went to a hot yoga class instead. I have mentioned recently that my shoulders have really felt tight and I am just generally feeling a bit out of balance. I was thinking last night that it’s been almost six months without…
