Day 80: More(!) CrossFit Fitspo
June 14, 2012 · By · 2 Comments
Ok, before I even get started I need to tell you that all of these images are from THRUSTR, an amazing tumblr site that I found last night. The site is packed with CrossFit badass-ness... this is only a tiny sample. So, essentially, this entire post is a (totally unsolicited, real and genuine) recommendation that you go waste a few hours of your day perusing the rest of the photos. I know that after looking at some of these women I was left thinking, "I can't wait to be able to do a muscle-up!" "How Read more [...]
Day 79: Two for Two!
June 13, 2012 · By · 6 Comments
First of all, thank you all so much for the sweet comments and messages about my latest photos! It has obviously been a LOT of hard work but I really feel like I can finally see some real changes in my body and that is a great feeling. I try to not put too much value in the size or shape of my body as long as I am being healthy and active, but it still feels good to tighten up the belly just a bit :)
In other news: I have gone to CrossFit every day this week so far! Aka... Monday and Tuesday. Two Read more [...]
Day 76: Before & After Round 4
June 10, 2012 · By · 7 Comments
Only 2 weeks left before my 90 days is up! Time to post another round of Before & After (well, more like Before & During) Progess Photos! I didn't measure this time and since my last weigh-in I've actually gained about a pound, back up to 127.5ish. The more I do this (and I think this is a common theme with people who workout to get fit instead of working out only to lose weight), the more I recognize how little my weight dictates the size or shape of my body.
I am feeling preeeetty good Read more [...]
Day 74: More Fitspo!

It's been a while since I did a gratuitous fitspo post. First up is a video that I'm sure most of you have seen if you have been doing CrossFit for any length of time, but I just found it recently and am a little obsessed with it right now. So.
Pretty sweet, right? Anyway, onto some inspirational looking people! I tried to include some dudes this time, too. I mean, can you really have too many pictures of shirtless muscley guys in one place? I mean what?
And, last but not least, THIS Read more [...]
Day 73: Confession
June 6, 2012 · By · 16 Comments
Today something happened for the first time at CrossFit that I don't even want to admit, let alone write about. But I am going to anyway.
This morning's WOD was 12-minute AMRAP of 4 wall balls, 6 bar jumps, and 8 sit-ups. And let me tell you that I am really, really bad at wall balls. I am lucky if I can get it up to the 8-foot mark on the wall, which all things considered is really only 2 feet of vertical gain once it leaves my hands. They knock me over all the time, and sometimes I catch them Read more [...]
