Weekly Workout Round-Up
Whew- What a week. It has been a busy one, but aren’t they all? I felt really good about my workouts this week. I’ve tried to keep my eating mostly on track. I’ve got a trip coming up next week, so I’m trying to stay extra tight to allow for some obvious “out of town” splurging. I mostly want to try to recap this to keep myself accountable and to have a record of my workouts. I’m linking up with Kat and megan! Monday- CrossFit & 2 Miles WOD “DT” Five rounds for time of: 155 pound Deadlift, 12 reps 155 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps 155 pound…

What is The CrossFit Open?
So if you have been following any number of CrossFitters on blogs or social media you have probably seen the terms CrossFit Open, 13.1 , CrossFit Games or something similar. If you are new to CrossFit or don’t CrossFit at all you’re probably wondering What Is The CrossFit Open? So basically the CrossFit Games are the super bowl of CrossFit. Except, instead of having to be drafted on to some team the CrossFit Games are open for anyone to get into. You just register online, it cost $20. The road to the CrossFit Games start with the CrossFit Open. It is 5 weeks long, with one workout each week. In…

Weigh In Wednesday: How to Motivate Yourself {giveaway}
What up, homies! It’s Wednesday, that means it is time for Weigh In Wednesday! I’m linking up with Erin and Alex again, love the motivation of the community that comes with this link up! Monday was the last day of the Dietbet Spring Break Shape up, and I’m proud to say I finally weighed in under 190 and I’m still there today (even after last night’s cookie binge… Thanks Aaron!) So, I won the dietbet! Along with several other people. The buy in was $35 and we won $48.30. Not a HUGE win, but a win nonetheless! Remember the last few weeks I’ve talked about being in a funk? Well over the…

Weekly Workout Recap
Whew, another week! This week was a little different for me as I usually go to CrossFit Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and most Saturdays but instead I went Monday, Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday. I’ve also still been trying to figure out my running schedule since I got off track with my training plan and haven’t been able to get back on track. Getting a treadmill has helped me run more regularly this week, but not according to my plan. Anyway- Let’s recap. Monday- CrossFit + 2 miles Treadmill Pre-WOD EMOM for 12 do 3 power hang cleans WOD 4 rounds for time of: 10 knees to elbows 10 Burpees 10…

Zensah Seamless Power Jacket
A few weeks ago I was sent a Zensah Seamless Power Jacket to try out and review. I was so excited about this opportunity because I already love my Zensah Compression Sleeves and knew the jacket would be great as well. They also have some pretty sleek color combinations. I resisted the normal urge to go all pink and decided to go with the black with pink accents. It is one sexy running jacket. The bubble gum zipper is such a fun pop of color. The top of the zipper has a zipper garage (didn’t know that was the official name for the fabric that keeps the zipper from pinching you… but…

FringeSport Bomba Bar Review
Last month I got the funnest package ever. I literally laughed out loud when I read “Caution: May Induce Fire Breathing” – I mean, how awesome is that? I have been talking with the guys from FringeSport about doing a product review for awhile and when they offered me a discount on the Bomba Women’s Bar in exchange for an honest blog review I couldn’t turn it down. Since starting CrossFit I’ve really fallen in love with the lifting aspect of it. I want to be strong. I want to be good. And that takes practice. Our CrossFit classes are well structured, but sometimes I want to work more on a…

CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training – Check In
First off – Thank you for all the congrats on yesterday’s post… I still can’t believe I now have a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate. Who woulda thunk it?! Last month I posted about my CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training Plan. I figured I should check in with you and let you know how it’s going! One thing I did want to clarify from my original post is that along with the running schedule I originally posted, I’m also doing regular CrossFit classes 4-5x a week. That includes a strength/skill focus and a WOD. The training plan by Brian Mackenzie that I based mine off of has specific strength and WODs included, but…

CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course – CrossFit Mayhem
Wow, so I have no idea where to even begin with this. If you would have told me even a year ago that I would be going through the CrossFit Level 1 Cert I would have asked you what that meant… then laughed in your face. When I went to my first CrossFit class back in June I was skeptically optimistic. I knew it would be a good workout, but I had no idea that it would literally change my life (so cliche, I know). I’ve been working hard for the past 8 months and I want to keep getting better. When my husband said he wanted to get his…

Weekly Workout Recap: Back to the Grind
After spending over a week away from a normal workout routine I was ready to get back to the grind! I missed getting my sweat on. We got home on Saturday and I knew that since I missed some of my CrossFit Endurance Training runs that I thought I could get in while we were gone (ya, right) I had to get out and do my 5k TT (Time Trial) So that’s what I did on Sunday! Sunday 1/20- CFE W1D3 – 5k TT 37:24 This pace was pretty close to my 5k PR from last month, so I was pretty happy with it. Especially after being sick, then…
