Stop and See!
I have been buying flowers the past few weeks –to brighten up the house and also to help brighten up the family. I think even if you aren’t depressed or feeling low, staying connected to beauty, nature and wonder is key in staying centered and at peace. It’s all a part of self care –continuing to…

Your Weight Doesn’t Tell Half the Story
I updated a post that I had previously written for the 30 day reset and shared it out today about ditching the scales and focusing on the task at hand –which is health and wellness. We are not defined by a number on the scale and we should not be controlled by it. The real questions…

Listen to the signals!
So another crazy busy weekend for my household that included coaching some great athletes Saturday morning at CrossFit Impavidus, then getting ready to host my daughter’s laser tag birthday party with 13+ tween girls, then a night out with some fellow nutrition challengers to let off some steam. That was just Saturday! Sunday morning off…

Another Day, Another …
So, day three of my nutrition reset and I am not sure I am feeling any different – yet. We have over 70 athletes doing the reset and what is amazing is how many are trying to find loopholes. Can I have Paleo Cookies? What about using Stevia? You mean Gum is not allowed? Something about…

Getting Back On The Horse
I’m back and I wish I could say I felt refreshed and raring to go this Monday –but I don’t. The last few weeks I have felt seriously run down and all I have wanted to do is stay under the covers in my bed and sleep. I honestly don’t think I have felt this…

Another Day – Another Opportunity
Yesterday, I went to the CFI Endurance class and let me tell you — i slept like a baby last night. Not only was it physically challenging, the mental game you have to play wears on you as well. I am going to continue to share my thoughts and experiences taking this class so that others can…

Helping Educate and Leading the Way
There’s still plenty of time to donate to Team Hoagie’s Heroes as we run to celebrate Scott Hoaglund’s fifth year colon cancer free!! The race is this Sunday! It was an awesome weekend – I love, love, loved the Mobility workshop with Kelly Starrett on Saturday. It’s so true that when you are around people…

When the Mental Game Kicks In
The CrossFit Games 2013 Sometimes we long time CrossFitters forget that many people have no clue what the CrossFit Games are and why we are all talking about it. I didn’t register because I think I am going to move on — I did it for the challenge and i love the fact that athletes all around…

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…

Is it Ever Enough?
Are You Ever Good Enough? I am definitely taking a day off tomorrow. I did 13.1 CrossFit Open workout on Friday, then did a killer WOD on Saturday that included 4x100m walking lunges and then did the amazing Carl Paoli workshop on Sunday, Monday did Mary and then today – heavy dead lifts. I rarely workout…
