These days I am pretty much all about CrossFit but I have not forgotten my other "love". Hiking. I got an email reminder over the weekend that my city's annual Fall hiking series kicks off in late August and I am psyched. You basically take a guided or unguided hike through 10 of our 16 Metro parks. It is a great way to spend every Saturday for ten weeks...with your community, enjoying the changing of the leaves. I look forward to it each year. You get free refreshments after each hike and if … [Read more...]
I Resolve to Make 2013 Another Great Year
I thought today would be a fitting day to not only get off my duff and come back to work/blogging after a ten day vacation but also to write up a post with my New Year's goals for 2013.

Here is a picture of me thoroughly enjoying 2012... Okay so that isn't actually me that picture kinda sums it up though. I took … [Read more...]
I am Thankful

Fitness Friday – Exercising in Nature
This week has been completely amazing. So very invigorating and enjoyable. In addition to making it to five CrossFit classes this week I also managed to drop some pounds. You see I put on a pair of my favorite pants a little over a week ago and they fit just a bit to snug for my taste. I hopped on the scale and saw that I had gained 12 pounds over 2.5 months. I traveled quite a bit in the tail end of summer with lots of parties and social stuff going on. I was in New York yo! I had to eat bagels … [Read more...]
Fitness Friday – Good To Be Back
It has been weeks since I posted an update about the Go Green Get Fit Challenge I started in early summer. All throughout August it seems my fitness goals just fell to the bottom of my priority list. I did some traveling, spent lots of time with extended family, and allowed way too many sleepover parties because I knew that once school started, it would just not be possible. Now that school is in session I am back to making fitness a top priority again and it feels really, really good. Well, … [Read more...]
