Today is the last day of school for the kiddos. What a crazy year this has been for us – but that’s life. We had a bit of extra time this morning because our internet is out at the house, so I decided to walk the kids to school. Here is the pic I took…

Overweight America: Products adapt to accommodate
Overweight is the new normal Americans are living large. Extra large. As in XXXXL large. As in baby-powdered-thighs large. As in wheezing, heaving, bust-the-car-suspension large. Overweight has become the new normal, and society is straining to accommodate our ever-expanding waistlines. We plant plush bottoms on wider seats in theaters and toilet stalls, drape ourselves in…

Handstand Push Ups are Like being a kid again..
The end of the school year is stressful. Not only do you have to do remember all the school related stuff, for me – I have the added pressure of finding and scheduling camps and payments for camps. It also is a super busy time at work — we are an education company so the…

Hitting my stride
Today was one of those days when you just get the rhythm of a particular exercise and you kick ass doing it. Normally I’m not a super efficient runner nor a fast one — but I felt my stride when we did our 800m warm up this morning and it carried through the WOD as…

CrossFit Girl: Kelly
Those girls of CrossFit are Nasty. The last time I met Kelly was in February — and for some reason today’s meeting did not go as well as our last – by 40seconds. That’s not acceptable! But holy hotdog – this WOD was tough. 5 rounds – keep moving – don’t stop – go go…

Burpee Love WOD
I knew it was time to get organized when my garage would make a perfect scene for the next episode of Hoarders! So I spent the better part of 3 hours yesterday going through the crap – organizing, sweeping, cleaning, throwing things out — it looks really good. Do you ever notice after you clean…

Rainy Day Workout
Vacation can’t come too soon for me — I am running on empty. Work is busy, home life is busy — I am thankful that I have CrossFit though. It really helps me with stress management and it’s a super fun way to start my day. I highly recommend it. And it’s been raining the…

Monday is Funday!
Not sure what’s going on with me but I kept waking up last nite with achey joints — especially my wrists. Not sure what that is all about – when I woke up for good this AM, it didn’t seam to be an issue. Todays workout was in honor of — Narcotics Detective and Special…
