I had some amazing love and response to my recent post about pressing pause on this journey. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets overwhelmed with everything and just needs to breathe. It was really nice to not care for a little bit. To be honest, I’m pretty sure this horrid winter had a huge effect on my mentality. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing people! Especially for this Florida girl. The snow and frigid temperatures really messed with my mental health! Anyway, here I am back on track. I’ve started my new meal plan with Precision Fitness STL. Ever since I started working with Jamie I…

Somedays I feel like I’m on top of the world. I’ve worked so hard and come so far and I know that. I celebrate my victories and progress. I’m a completely different person than I was 4 years ago. Hell, I’m a different person than I was 8 months ago. Focusing on these victories make it easy to keep on keeping on. I’ve lost roughly 60 lbs and 4 sizes. I’ve conquered fears and found confidence. and I feel unstoppable. Thanks, CrossFit. ha. But then there are other days… Days when I struggle with how far I have to go. Days when I think I should be further by now.…

The longer I’m on this journey the more I realize the importance of community. It sounds weird that you could really find support and encouragement in an online group, but that has been one of the biggest influences in my health journey. When I started this journey it was a bunch of weight loss and running bloggers that I followed. I felt like I knew these people. Bloggers pour their heart and soul out on to the screen. They share their triumphs and failures. Along the way there have been several bloggers that I have felt like I really “clicked” with. You know, the ones who if they ever knew…

i miss this place… this little place on the internet i miss getting to share about my journey. life is still crazy. i’m just trying to balance it all. i have 4 weeks left of school, then i hope to figure out some sort of regular schedule… you know with all my free time. ha. until then I wanted to update ya’ll on a few things that have been going on. Disney Cruise We finally went on our much anticipated vacation on the Disney Fantasy. It is such an amazing ship and the vacation was just what we needed. If you are thinking about a Cruise I promise you won’t…

I’ve drafted my sentimental year end post in my head a million times. The truth is my head is still not wrapped around the idea that the year is over. It has been a complete whirlwind of a year. Last year I wrote about how I wanted to RX a WOD with Double Unders – and I did several times! I’m still not great at them… but I met my one concrete goal I set for CrossFit. For 2013 I didn’t set any specific resolutions, instead I chose a word to focus on: Intentional. I wanted to be intentional in my training, my eating, and my relationships. I feel like…

Good Morning, Friends. I hope you all are doing well! I miss spending time in this little space. It really helps me process so much of my own thoughts and track my progress. I know it is the time of year when many people are reflecting on their progress throughout the year and planning their goals for 2014. I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately. 2013 has been a hard year. Not a bad year, but a hard one. We took on a huge responsibility by opening CrossFit 70, still maintain our other full time business, we are both in the last stretch of getting our Bachelors degree, plus…
