The Drive to Be Better

Mondays arrive way too soon in my opinion. The weather is absolutely fantastic in NoVA and it makes the weekends that much harder to leave. We went to a carnival yesterday for a few hours. I am not really into rides, especially of the spinny sort but i am fine watching the kiddos have the…

One of the major things I have learned since moving to Highbar CrossFit is how to breathe properly during a lift — here’s a great video from California Strength about breathing.

Napping: It’s a Good Thing

Yesterday was a tough day I am sure for everyone. I was taken a bit by how emotional I was throughout the day. I’m going through some shit personally and it seemed to be compounded yesterday – which made for a day of sadness and feeling sorry for myself. I’m mad at myself about it…

Never Forget – September 11

Today is a day to remember — not to lament about what’s wrong in our lives. It’s a day to honor those who lost so much. It’s a day to appreciate and recognize those who fight to protect our freedoms and our country. When you stop and think about what happened that day, twelve years…

Fear and Moving Forward

I have talked about Fear before — how it holds us back, how we get stuck in a Fear Loop and can’t seem to get out. This weekend I read something by Richard Branson – you know the guy who founded Virgin and all the sub-companies underneath brand. He writes a lot of good stuff…
