Another reason why I love CrossFit: You never know what to expect! Last night’s workout involved sandbags. That’s right, 35-pound bags filled with sand. And what did we do with them, you ask? Ran with them on our shoulders. Obviously. It’s never a dull day at CrossFit! WOD: “G.I. JOE” 400 meter Sandbag Run 35# [...]

The title of this morning’s post probably doesn’t mean much to you, but it means a lot to me. At CrossFit last night, I did my first all Level 2 (L2) workout!! Woohoo! Completing a Level 2 workout is huge deal for me because when I first started CrossFit, I could barely do a Level [...]

In the past several weeks, I’ve received a ton of questions from you guys asking for cheaper and at-home ideas for CrossFit. It seems that quite a few of you want to try it, but don’t live near a CrossFit location and/or don’t have the funds to afford a membership. With that said, here are [...]

Oh, how I love this weather. It’s 50 degrees and sunny in late-January! Remember this time last year? Blech. I’m not sure wintry weather gets any better than this! Snack I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, so I packed an apple in my purse just in case I got hungry on the drive home. [...]

Hello! Happy Tuesday! Workout Have you ever had one those days when you just NEED a good workout? Like, the only thing that could possibly make you feel better is getting your sweat on? Well, yesterday was one of those days for me. I needed a workout that was going to kick my butt (in [...]

Brrrrrr! Check out the wintery scene that I woke up to in our backyard this morning: Ick. Snow. I’m just not a fan. And I like snow even less when it comes to motivating myself to leave the house to exercise. The last thing I wanted to do this morning was venture out into the [...]

Good morning! Happy Thursday! Last night’s WOD was “easier” than most. I’d normally be annoyed by an easy workout, but I totally embraced this one because I was so exhausted. I probably should have skipped CrossFit all together, but “Annie” didn’t look too tough. I made it through the WOD no problem, but today is [...]

(Our coaches didn’t post the WOD because they thought people wouldn’t come if they saw it ahead of time! Ha!) Workout When I arrived at CrossFit last night, [...]

Mal had the day off from school today, so we used it as an opportunity to take care of some business around the house. After breakfast, Mal cleaned up the house while I painted 3 out of the 4 walls in my office. I’m planning to paint the fourth wall a darker shade of blue [...]
