FUN

April 24, 2012 

It may not look like it while I am working my butt off sweating from every spot possible to sweat from on my body... but I love every minute of every WOD...

It may not look like it when I am laying on the ground trying to catch my breath after however many minutes of work I just performed... but I cant wait to do it again when it is over...

It may not look like it when I drop a bar filled with 5 lbs over my 1RM because I havent been able to complete the rep yet... but I have FUN every single workout...


The only way to continue to do what I do daily and get out of bed and push through every workout is because I enjoy what I am doing. I am having fun while I am doing it and I love the people that I do it with. No only do I we have FUN while we WOD, but we have great relationships within the gym. We laugh together, we chat, we hang out and we really enjoy each others company.

Its really fantastic to have such a great support system and that fact that it is growing week to week is just adding to the excitement. Its nice to be able to show people the fun we have and invite them to join in our family. We have all brought people into the gym so bringing some of our "outside" world into the community is fun and once they see with their own eyes what we talk about they are not left disappointed!

It dosent have to be CrossFit, but having fun while exercising is so important. Do the things that make you smile and do it with the people that  make you happy. It will motivate you to continue on in whatever it is that you choose and give you the push to succeed!

HAVE FUN!!

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
