  • Jump and a Net will Appear

    Recently someone told me jump and a net will appear — and I have really taken that to heart. In many decisions I have made to help improve things in my life. I decided to get serious about things that just weren’t working out for me and instead of doing what I always do -put…

  • Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight

    What makes me so crazy in the head that a day off sounds unreasonable at times?  And the crazier thing is I am not alone – something about the CrossFit formula gets inside the heads of the many athletes and we become programmed this way. Although I do have to say that as a general…

  • Running, Runnin’

    I’ve been reading some really touching, heartbreaking stories the last few days about fighters and their battle with horrible cancer. Jill Brzezinski-Conley, Breast Cancer Patient, Stars In Stunning Paris Photo Shoot By Sue Bryce (PHOTOS, VIDEO) Angels and Warriors and Cancer, Oh My Life, Interrupted: Crazy, Unsexy Cancer Tips The Live Sincerely Project  The Battle…

  • Getting Into The Modern

    Yesterday, I was interviewed for a local magazine about being a Modern Mom. I was nominated by one of my dear friends Tina, who I met at the very beginning of my fitness journey.  What’s funny is that magazine is called I am Modern Magazine and it’s geared towards Modern Moms (whatever that means).  I…

  • Coach Carl Paoli: Learn to Move so you can Move to Learn

    Yesterday, I went to a workshop about movement. “Learning to move so I can move to learn” was the theme of the day, coached by Carl Paoli of Naka Athletics out of San Francisco (one of my favorite cities). Coach Carl’s Freestyle Connection I had no real assumptions about what this workshop would be about other than knowing…

  • Own It

    Yesterday’s workout wiped me out –so today’s workout and the fact that I got a PR (personal record) was a welcome surprise! Even if it was just by 5#, I will gladly take it.  And in the end, it’s about personal progress. I am fine at this stage with small gains – it means I…

  • Find the Best Possible Diet For You

    So I was considering doing that three day cleanse that I posted late last week but the more I talked with people and thought about it — all I need to do is get my head in the game and start eating clean again. Coach Chef from CrossFit Rubicon gave me some good stuff to…

  • Make Every Day Count

    Another rest day is here! Hurray. I am sore from all the work this week which was made harder by all the crap food I ate. Birthday weeks are hard!!! Here are some interesting things I have come across this week around the web: ‘I Drank the CrossFit Kool-Aid’ The Bob Harper talks about how…

  • It’s not about the Reps you have Left

    I came across this article in the New York Times about how important it really is to develop relationships when looking for a new job or opportunity. It’s a lot like how social media marketing works — it’s about the authentic relationships you build upon; not gimmicky tactics. Many traditional marketers are having a difficult…

  • On the Go

    I’m Always On The Go Crazy weekend filled with lots of fun! Friday, I hosted the first Ladies Night workout at CF Impavidus. Holy crap it was fun — 80s theme, good people, laughs and food and wine.  Power Supply Paleo meals even helped out and sent over some sample size meals for the athletes…
