  • This is not a detour – It’s a change!

    Walking out of Gold’s gym today after a good workout I saw this: ‘When you are ready to change, you will…” I think this is so true because you really do have to think of it just like that — it’s a change, a shift in how you live — a change is not temporary.…

  • Get out of Bed and Live!

    I added this video because for women – I think it’s important to hear how training like I do — Crossfit, HIIT — helps other aspects of your life.  She says in the morning when she has to get up — its like let’s get up and Live! Which is exactly how I feel and…

  • Group Training with Box Jumps

    Friday is here! I can’t believe how fast time is flying — it’s December 10!! How can that be?? Remember when we were in grade school and time seemed to stand still — when will winter break get here? when will spring break get here? when will 3p get here while sitting in class? Had…

  • King James – Hot Mess Fitness

    How would you like a trainer like this???? (This has some profanity, so please use caution when viewing)

  • Baby, it’s cold outside for a 1/2m run

    Yes that says 20′ F outside and yes it was 530A — 2 combos that are just not that ideal when you enter the training building to find out you are indeed running 1/2m outside as part of the workout. I have yet to see someone leave once they find out but I am sure…

We parents just can’t win! What are we to do — think about encouraging or finding additional…

  • SweetGreen Hosts Free Yoga Sessions FTW!

    I love companies that really give back what they are ‘selling’ — SweetGreen in Reston Town Center is hosting free yoga weekend for their neighborhood at Down Dog Yoga — which happens to be super close to where I work.  What a great idea – host a free yoga session to promote healthy and fit…

  • Wakeup Workout

    This Monday is a cold chilly one! I was happy there was no outside component to the workout. I am back down the 2lbs I gained from Thanksgiving feasting – so that was welcome news this morning, knowing that I lost control with those Almond shortbread cookies that I devoured! I made sure yesterday that…

  • Paleo diet is more satiating per calorie than a Mediterranean-like diet in individuals with ischemic heart disease.

    A Paleolithic diet is more satiating per calorie than a Mediterranean-like diet in individuals with ischemic heart disease.. More good news and science behind eating ‘paleo’. BACKGROUND: We found marked improvement of glucose tolerance and lower dietary energy intake in ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients after advice to follow a Paleolithic diet, as compared to…

  • Power Snatch Practice Session

    One of my friends made one of my favorite cookies on Friday night and sent me home with some — big mistake! One bite and it’s like a drug — it turned into probably 6 and maybe even more cookies in the span of 5 minutes. I couldn’t help myself. That was basically my lunch…
