May 7, 2012 First off, I have had strict instructions that I need to keep up with my blogging! So for those who read daily I am sorry for the massive bulk publishing yesterday! I hope you enjoy catching up with the new posts (grab a cup of coffee and catch up!). I know (judging by my FB page) that there quite a few readers out there, and lots of new ones, so I just want to say thank you for your support! I started this blog to be a place where I can literally dump my thoughts about my new adventure with CrossFit. Soon after, it turned into something that really means a lot to me, where I try to be as open and honest as I can, so if I can be even a small amount of inspiration to anyone out there just by doing what I love... well thats just perfect! Please feel free to comment either here or on FB and if you have any inspirational material I would love to hear from you! I have also been contacted by a few different places for product reviews and give a ways... so stay tuned!! I have ...
October 18, 2011 I am going to take a page out of my "new" book and talk about the positives before the negatives. This mornings skill/strength was front squats. We havent done many actual front squats, in fact I looked in the book and saw the last time we did it it was 8/31/11 and my max weight was 125lbs. That was one of the first weeks. However, we have been doing lots of thrusters, wall balls, cleans and snatches... all are compound moves that involve the front squat. I usually get pretty pumped when we do strength and this morning was no different despite the fact that I barely slept a wink last night. After the warmup (which I successfully linked my double unders again just not all 25 today) I got the bar ready to do my warmup front squats. I started with a set of 5 with just the bar, than did a second set of warmups at 95lbs. I was feeling good, so after talking with K, we decided I should start at 115lbs. The next set I decided to go up to 125lbs, which was my max...
March 14, 2012 Sometimes you just have to "let it go." Let go of all the crap that bothers you. Let go of all the dead weight in your life. When something bothers you... figure out why and if its not worth it, let it go. Relationships that are strenuous and constant battles... let them go or learn to live with them the way they are without having any crazy expectations. Money issues, family issues, work issues whatever it may be... its all about learning how to deal with the issue and not letting it get to you. When something happens that it out of your control sometimes you just have to grin and bear it and sometimes you have to just.. say it with me now... LET IT GO... Yes, this is me... the mother of all "hold it all in and use it as fuel for later." I am trying to teach myself to follow the above advice. I have to... there is no time in life for unhappiness. There is no sense in "settling." There is to much good and to much life left to be...
