  • Get it Done!

    Last night I had my cheat meal — Indian Food! YUM!! I asked if the tikka masala was Gluten Free and she said yes yes of course –let’s hope she was right. It was delish! Warmup 50 DUs 10 Cobras 10 Push ups 10 Good Mornings 10 Ring Rows WOD partner Pet Rock Hold a…

  • Overhead Squats for your Core Workout

    The news of Steve Jobs hit hard. Not only are we a tech family – the hubby loves his MAC – we are also one of the many families who have dealt with cancer. Last night I thought about Steve Job’s family. How hard it must be for them. They didn’t lose an icon. They…

  • CrossFit Girl: Cindy

    I woke up this morning and that little guy I call the sleep monster was trying to talk me out of going — I tried to bargain out of going this AM –oh I will go on Friday instead of today but then the alarm went off and instinctively I got up and started to…

  • Embrace the Suck

    Fall is really here — there is no denying it. It’s chilly and dark when I wake up. And I have to start learning to breathe in chilly weather. When the cold air hits my lungs, they seize up causing my asthma to kick in, in full gear. It was tough because OF COURSE there…

  • A Chilly Fall Morning

    I am going to tell you that when it starts getting chilly — it really does make it harder to get up. Being in bed, all warm and cozy and then add in that it’s Monday.  Yeah not a great combo but I went anyway. I was very very happy to see that we were…

  • A Well-Balanced Meal? I Don’t Think So…

    I was driving home this morning and listening to the radio. A McDonald’s commercial came on talking about updates to the Happy Meal. The Happy Meal will now include fries AND apple slices for a ‘well balanced meal’. Isn’t that fabulous!!  Now come on — if you are going to sell it, don’t add in the…

  • A Mini-Pain-Miracle Ball – The Lacrosse Ball

    Today has been busy so I am just getting to my blog now — at almost 7p at night. Not my normal routine that’s for sure — I want to make sure to talk about rolling out your sore muscles and the main tool I use. I am sore, often. Crossfit is known for that…

  • Worth Fighting For

    I feel somewhat better although I am still working things through and it is showing up in all sorts of ways. I am beyond exhausted and at times – feel weepy. A good side to having to deal with this stress, I have gotten some great support and advice. My community of friends, in real…

  • Go Heavy!

    I will make this a good week for me — let go of fear, act like an adult with the best of intentions. No more losing sleep, being weepy, trying to rationalize situations in my head. I started it off with a great workout — it was a heavy lifting day. Some people don’t understand…

  • Filthy Fifty

    Today was Oktoberfest at CrossFit Impavidus and we did a workout that had something for the kids and the adults.  We did the Filthy Fifty and the kids got to do it too –but scaled for them. That’s one of the things I love about CrossFit — kids, teens, adults, seniors: it can be scaled…
