Hit a fitness goal this week and that was to make five CrossFit classes in a row. Ideally I would like to do 5 on, 2 off consistently. Of course today (on the 5th day) I am really super sore but I love that feeling. It let's me know that my body is being challenged and that it is getting stronger. I also broke through some PRs (personal records) so that is another bonus. It's been an awesome week! Monday: Warmup was 10 minutes AMRAP 10 sec wobble bench hold, 20 overhead lunges (15 lbs), 5 … [Read more...]

Avocado Chocolate Pudding

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies or Nests – No Bake!

Well this weekend I found a darn near perfect solution and I am rather … [Read more...]

I also spend as much time as I can outdoors, preferrably with camera. Here are some scenes from the week... What do you love about Fall?? … [Read more...]
Fitness Friday – Injuries Galore!
This week and last seemed to be plagued with injuries that put me off my fitness game. Last Thursday I was doing ball slam, box jumps and I jumped off of my box backwards and landed on the medball. I twisted my ankle and fell to the ground but I finished the WOD. My ankle hurt throughout the day but Arnica gel had it feeling good as new by the next day, until I walked 3 miles on it and then it swelled like a tennis ball. Oh well, more Arnica throughout the weekend and it felt great by Monday, … [Read more...]
