Let’s have a chat about fear. My life has gone through a major upheaval /change in the last year, which I will not bore you with. My biggest fear in all of this was that it would change me in a negative way. Make me afraid to do/experience new things. Fear can be a very…
Sit-ups are the devil, have a cookies and I’ll tell you all about it!
I was going to talk about why Ab Mat sit-ups are a pain in my ass… but instead we talk diet!
So you want to start crossfit, or maybe you have plans to run a Spartan race. No matter what sport, or fitness challenge you have planned for the New Year there are a few things to consider. Your number one consideration should be injury prevention and recovery. I know there are a 101 articles…
I workout in the greatest gym in the WORLD (or box as they call it in CrossFit). Seriously, if you’re ready to have your ass kicked and need a place to do it in, move to Ottawa, Canada and join up! I know, I know, everyone thinks that their gym (box) is the best, but…
I’m back! I know, I know it’s been like a million years since my last post! <insert excuse here :_____ and here:_____). I do have some really good excuses, but I won’t bore you with them right now, maybe later. Sooo, you like the changes to the blog?!? Comments? Suggestions? Keep ‘em to yourself… I…
I love my birthday! I even started a silly tradition back in high school where I would start counting down on September 1st. I’m sure over the years this has annoyed many people. Although there have been a few people who cheered me on and appreciated my child like approach to my special day… I…
I love to be scared! Like “heart pounding out of your chest, you feel like your going to puke, omg my legs won’t move” kind of scared. When I was younger.. or maybe even last week…. I would watch one of those heart ponding type thrillers, you know the ones…. they always leave you worried…
Holy September, Batman! Seriously, WTF happened to summer? I am usually a diehard autumn fan, but this year, it’s been all about the summa. From the food (oh the yummy summer fruits and veggies) to the fitness (currently drinking the crossfit kool-aid), to downing countless bottles of great wine, with good friends (or is it…
I made us cake! Not just any cake, THIS plum cake. If you haven’t heard of this cake, you are living under a rock… which is probably located beside my rock. I tend to be a little slow with the trends. I mean I just got into skinny jeans, and I’m sure they are out…
Social media owns my soul! Seriously people what other outlet in your life takes up what feels like YOUR WHOLE DAY. Have you ever left your cell phone at home while you ran to the grocery store… DON’T DO IT… pure torture. I felt so disconnected. I’m like that child who refuses to go pee…
So it’s happened, I am no longer kool (that k is supposed to be there, keep reading). It really started a few years ago on a camping trip, when my then 11 year old step daughter pointed to a group of people and refered to them as “The Adults”, and I was standing in that…
July; Monthly Things I am truly enjoying the summer! You can tell because I have been behind a couple of time with the blog, I even missed an entire week! I totally made it up to you by making you popsicles… which you actually had to make yourself… ya I’m a jerk! July was full…
Hey hey hey! I took a week long blog break. Not really sure if all 5 of my followers noticed (Hi Mom!), but I’m back! I guess I’ve been enjoying the summer. I was going to post this killer orzo pasta salad I served at a recent BBQ, but in light of the fact that it’s like…
There is a constant temperature battle in my house. I know we are not alone in this gender battle. I call it a gender battle because I truly believe men and women have different ( and by that I mean completely opposite) internal temperature gauges. In the winter I like to be able to sit…
