Live Fit and Sore

  • One Lift At A Time, One Squat At A Time

    I have to remember that when I am seeing pics of me working out, that I need to change the voices in my head. I have written about it before, probably way too much, but it creeps back when I see spontaneous pics where I am not posing. It’s an ongoing battle of those darn…

  • Memorial Day Murph at CrossFit

    Yesterday was a great day. Our CrossFit Impavidus community got together and did Murph so we could honor the fallen heroes. For his selfless leadership, courageous actions and extraordinary devotion to duty, LT. Michael P. Murphy received the Medal of Honor, the first service menber to receive the medal in Operation Enduring Freedom, and the…

  • Cloud Nine

    Last night I scored 3 of the 40 athletes in the Whole Life Nutrition/CrossFit Challenge I lead at CrossFit Impavidus — Each one has lost over 25# in 8 weeks and had marked improvement in their strength and conditioning. Those are beyond amazing results no doubt, but for me what was even more rewarding was seeing their…

  • Myth: Women Shouldn’t Focus on Strength Training

    A friend of mine posted something yesterday on Facebook that really struck me and made me go — yeah that is totally true! She said she was in the gym and noticed how there were 20 women furiously doing cardio & maybe 1 or 2 in the weight room. She said she wants to change that.…

  • CrossFit Impavidus: CrossFit For Hope

    You know what I realized this morning more than ever before – how much I love to help others discover how strong they are. I coached the 6A class this morning and the workout was Helen – she’s a hard one. 400m run, 21 KB swings, 12 Pull ups – 3 RFT. Yeah quite a…

  • Abs of Steel Takes Work not Gimmicks

    My abs are really sore from Saturday’s workout. We did groups of 3 – broad jump burpees, wall ball shots, and sit ups. And I have mentioned that my sit-ups are quite good. It’s a strong suit of mine but the last day or so, man oh man. Abs of steel here we come.  I…

  • Stop Being A Slave To The Scale

    Are you a slave to the scale? I will admit that I still fight this part of me. I don’t own a scale, haven’t owned one my entire adult life. Why would I want to spend money to own something and give space to something that has so much control over me that it can…

  • Boarding the CrossFit Crazy Train

    I’m feeling very inspired today. I mentioned yesterday about the Killing the Fat Man Series I have been watching. I will be honest – the editing of the series is a bit annoying in my opinion, but the message is clear. He made those changes in 2 months – and he didn’t use any tricks.…

  • Work and Commitment

    When I heard the alarm this AM, I hit snooze and decided “today, is a rest day”. I am entitled to it and I am tired. Don’t fool yourself into believing that it’s ‘easy’ for me to get up. I love to sleep, I love napping, I love the REM stage, I love the feeling…

  • Inversion: Method to the Madness

    I had the most wonderful day yesterday. My kids were so loving and Scotty made me breakfast and left the day open for me to be as free as I wanted.  Now that’s a great day.  I did some shopping, met a friend for some coffee, took a short nap, and ended it with a…
