My Colonoscopy Results & Why I Love My Doctor
Good morning! Happy Hump Day! I hope your day is off to a great start! Murphy literally RAN back to bed after he ate his breakfast this morning. Apparently, he’s not a fan of Wednesdays. Breakfast This morning’s breakfast was an oldie, but goodie: Van’s waffles with Teddie peanut butter and banana slices.
Yesterday afternoon, Murphy and I had a very special visit to make at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As you probably know, the MIT community has been through quite a lot lately, so when I received a request from Dog B.O.N.E.S. about visiting the campus, Murphy and I immediately jumped at the chance.
Two of my favorite “activities” in life are CrossFit and drinking. Haha! Hey, I work hard and play hard! I especially love doing these things together as seen here, here, and here. So when Smirnoff reached out to me about hosting a “Ladies’ Night (Work) Out,” which would include a workout followed by a sampling.
Recap of 13.5 and Some Thoughts About the Open
Phew. I’m glad the 2013 CrossFit Open is officially over. It was a ton of fun, and I really enjoyed myself, but I’m ready to get back to my regular workouts. I feel like I haven’t been to a CrossFit class in ages! Last Friday afternoon, Kerrie and I made plans to do 13.5 together.
How My Body Changed Since Starting CrossFit

Secret Ingredient Heath Bar Cookies
I made these cookies last night and, holy yum, I can’t stop thinking about them.

It definitely adds a little something-something to the recipe.
“Safe” Goals Versus “Reach” Goals {Recap of 13.4}
Woohoo! I met my goal and survived Open WOD 13.4! As I mentioned in my previous post, 95 pounds (the prescribed weight for this workout) for clean and jerk was pretty close to my 1RM, so my goal for 13.4 was to make it through the set of 12 clean and jerks and toes-to-bar.
Run for Charlotte and CrossFit Doggie Date
On Sunday morning, I participated in the Run for Charlotte, a 5K and 10K road race in honor of 5-year-old Charlotte Rose Kelly, who lost her battle with neuroblastoma in December 2011. From the Prayers from Charlotte website: Neuroblastoma is an aggressive form of cancer associated with the nerve cells and adrenal glands.
A Piece Of Clothing I Just Can’t Part With

Gluten-Free Almond Joy Cookies
It took me three tries to get this recipe right, but third time’s a charm, right? These cookies turned out wonderfully!
