WODs & Well-Being

October 26, 2012 Why is it that women find the need to treat Halloween as an excuse to slutify EVERYTHING. For crying out loud. I went looking for a costume and Hubs and I couldnt believe what we were seeing. First off... they have everything from skanky police officer (get original at least) to Finding Nem-ohhhhh (I kid you not, I actually saw a slutty finding Nemo costume). I mean I get it, people like to show off... and Halloween is a night you can "show" but holy bageezuz, if you are looking for something that covers your ass you cant even be Harry Potter, because somehow He is a prostitute too... What The Crap! I did find pieces of a costume... and I am pretty happy because I get to wear my gym clothes with it! Hubs also got one. Not his favorite holiday by a long shot... but we have two parties to get to and he is required to dress up! We will have a good time!! Mark this down... I swear to god... if I ever have a teenage girl, I will have some major issues come H...

February 22, 2012 I heard K say yesterday as she was talking to someone "oh, its going to be warm on Wednesday, I'm thinking an outside WOD." Right away I knew we would be running. Yes, I "ran" track in high school... and yes, I have done WOD's with running before, and yes, I did the Turkey Trot... but none of these things has changed my mind about running. I still do not enjoy it. I think the only thing that I "liked" is that it changes things up a bit, its nice to get outside, and its nice to do something other than rowing... but uggg, running. What I have to remember is how far I have come. The first few weeks of CF when I had to run a 400 it was horrible! Now I just do it without thinking about it. Like I said, I dont "like" it, but I dont dread it and I dont question it, it will make me better. I know in the long run, (hehehe, no pun intended) its "me against myself." Crossfit has made me learn to be patient (ok, so ...

January 27, 2012 Oh no is right!! This is exactly what I was thinking when I looked at todays WOD. Last weekend one of my skills that I wanted to work on were double unders... but... I didnt. I started to, but instead I decided to work on some things I "suck less" at! Yes, more enjoyable... but no... I didnt get "better" at anything. K warned me and I realize that I need to work more at those things that I dont enjoy so much so that maybe I will begin to enjoy them! I cant participate in the opens if I cant perform the skills I am lacking. No surprisingly today was really really hard. Not hard because it was heavy weight, not hard because there was lots of cardio... hard because there were 3 rounds including 75 double unders AND 12 pullups! Yikes...Unfortunately/fortunately T and I have the same issues with the dreaded double unders, but we both pushed through and did our best... I did attempt all 3 rounds of 75 double unders (it was a sad sad sight) and I also ...

August 29, 2011 Ahhh, good old Monday morning. Seems to always creep up on me the same time every week! Before bed last night Hubs and I were talking and I said "you know, it feels really go to be getting rid of all this suff that we dont need or want want anymore... less clutter, less stuff to bog us down... kinda seems like we are on a mission to do the same thing with our lives."  I am  feeling good, motivated and determined (hehe, kinda like the title to my blog, see how that works) to get my life where I want it. I am surrounded by a wonderful family, very supportive parents, and the best friends I could ask for. I have always been a "reach for the stars" kinda girl, something instilled in me as a child, whatever you want you can do it... typically, I follow everything through to the end. Never give up. My problem, fitness. I love working out, I love feeling strong. For some reason I have never actually pushed myself hard enough. The more I think a...
