  • Blustery Workout

    So it’s single digit temps with the wind chill factor added in and let me tell you the word to describe today is Blustery! I haven’t talked about paleo eating in a few days — I am sure you all missed it! I am still going strong with my new approach to eating — wheat…

  • I know it sounds insane but I get excited to get up on Mondays and head to Plumbline. Seeing all my pals and bonding over what we all did during the weekend is one of the best parts of Monday.  During our weekly weigh in – we get a chance to catch up and share…

  • HIIT and Women = Awesome

    I love this video because it shows all kinds of women doing Crossfit. It doesn’t matter how old you are you can do it — and how awesome are they? This is the stuff we do in boot camp which makes us strong and lean — combine that with diet changes — you can be…

  • 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…

  • Cold Blast of Air Workout

    There is something down right mean about making a group of women run outside when its below 30′ at 545A. Sometimes I think our trainer gets some joy out of making us suffer thru the workouts– but probably not – he has to get up at that time too. warmup checkpoints lunge jumps frankensteins corex2…

  • 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…

  • Post Evening Out workout

    Yesterday I was in all day meetings and then headed out for a work dinner – got home around 1030p. Long but very productive day.  Working in this online world is great however it’s rare that I get to meet outside vendors. It’s really nice to be able to meet with them and then have…
