    I received an email asking me to help bring about an awareness that the average person gets more than 20% of their total caloric intake each day from beverages.

  • Sick and Inspired

    Yeah, I am sick with Strep. Both HB and I have it so this is definitely a rest day for me in bed, under the covers with lots of hydration.  I haven’t felt this run down in a very long time. I am blaming it on the hot, sweaty guys I had to wrestle this…

  • Mobility WOD

    Mobility WOD go check out Kelly and all of his great advice about mobiity over at Mobility WOD.

    This someecard cracks me up but yet is so true. I’m sure that many of the Moms out there can totally relate — there are so many times that I feel like I am not doing my job as a Mom, not living up to the expectations I have for what my role should be.…

  • Movie theater junk food: Is it a menace to society? – latimes.com

    This editorial has some good points  — the food at the theater sucks. Water is probably the only healthy thing you can buy but the cost of it at the theater is crazy!   If you’re a parent concerned about your kids eating healthful food, where is the last place you’d want them to go?…

  • Girl Scouts vs. Health and Fitness

    Today is a much needed rest day for me — I’m sore! Not over crazy sore but definitely a good day to rest. What’s crazy is that I miss the gang though — that’s part of the draw about CrossFit. You want to go workout because you miss your pals if you don’t! So last…

  • Exercise: The Poor Man’s Plastic Surgery

    Rainy day here in Northern VA this morning. It certainly makes it tough to get up and get going at o’dark thirty in the AM for sure. The workout today was a good one — lots of keep going/met con sort of stuff for 15 mins.  Something I wanted to mention is that my abs…
