  • I DID A CARTWHEEL —-

    Today was a big day — I DID A CARTWHEEL!!  You have no idea how big that is for me — it has been something that has bothered me since I was a kid. I could never do a friggin cartwheel — very very discouraging but not anymore. It’s a milestone for me. The little…

  • Hooked on a feeling…

    Starting the morning with a workout is a great feeling — seriously. It may be hard to get up out of bed but I rarely meet anyone who doesn’t feel better after wards. It’s even great when you have to do a Tabata! workout — I am sore and wiped out, but I feel good.…

  • Hand, Hand, Foot, Foot …

    Great morning workout at CrossFit Impavidus. I think this was the most crowded it has been at the 6A class too. The box is getting in the swing of things so all is good – The lesson of the day is nothing is as simple as it appears! The WOD today doesn’t seem so bad…

  • Meeting the Pistol Squat

    Before I post my normal workout stuff- I want to take a minute to cheer on my beloved Arizona Wildcats as they head to the Sweet 16. Yesterday’s game was a nail biter and they pulled it off! Bear Down Arizona! Notice the A hat in the pic to the left! It’s a rainy morning…

  • Obesity is a huge threat

    Panel: Obesity is century’s greatest public health threat While I agree with some of these guidelines — but most of the actual food ones, I call foul! As you know – I am a believer in the Paleo view on eating: lean meats, nuts, berries, fruits, veggies. Clean eating at its purest — no wheat…

  • Hi Ho, Hi Ho – it’s off to nature we go…

    I had a really fun Friday night – I went over my friend Sara’s house – who invited me and our friend Anu for dinner. It was so nice to chat and laugh with them. Both of these women really inspire me in so many ways – that I am so thankful for being in…

  • Get Ready for the Weekend Workout!

    Good Morning Folks! Spring is so close I can feel it. Today it’s supposed to be in the 70s here in Northern VA – I love this time of year around here. The signs of spring are all around and the cherry blossoms will soon be in bloom. It really is one of the best…

  • Attempting to Conquer the Cartwheel

    Happy St. Patty’s Day to all my Irish Friends! I gotta say – I have been feeling so great about life. I feel empowered and in charge & I don’t know what is so different in me that it’s causing me to feel this way, but I feel great energy around me. Good things are…

  • Gymnastics Fun at CrossFit Impavidus

    When people ask me why I get up so early to workout — it’s because of days like today at CrossFit. We did a bunch of gymnastics. There is something about learning how to do some of the things I struggled with as a kid that makes me giddy.  Where else can you go as…
