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...]
Go Green Get Fit Week Seven
Booyah! I finally made it to four CrossFit classes in a week. Every week it seemed that something came up and kept me from the goal of doing at least four but this week I made it happen.

Go Green Get Fit Week Six – ECCO BIOM Lite 1.3 Shoes Review
Last week was mostly pretty sad on the fitness front. I only got to the gym one time. Yeah, pathetic. I went hoping to swim but the pool was closed.

I kept get getting the weirdest stares from ladies on the circuit machines, like they did not understand why on … [Read more...]
Go Green Get Fit – Week Five – My Fave Fitness Blogs
This week was a bit of a let down in that I did not get to workout as much as I wanted to. Much of this was because my CrossFit box had a wonky schedule due the CrossFit Games in LA this past week. Our box had a competitor, Marcus Hendren, in the games and several of the coaches went with him. He finished in 7th place, which makes him the 7th fittest person on earth, or so they say. His performance was way awesome! On Monday I was doing the WOD and looked over to see him doing lunges right next … [Read more...]
Go Green Get Fit – Week Four
I’m one of 30 bloggers participating in the 12-week Go Green, Get Fit Challenge as part of the EcoMom Alliance Sustain YourSelf™ Program presented by PlanetShoes.com. This is my week four update, you can read about week three here. The temperature outside reached scorching last week and that impacted my workouts. I also took time off for the 4th and don't regret a minute of it. In fact, I had so much fun I am repeating it this week. Also a factor is the fact that my local CrossFit box has fewer … [Read more...]
