Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been “loosely” following the Zone plan and I have definitely seen and felt a difference in the way I feel and look. I recently saw a picture of a chick who did a strict 30-day paleo and Zone diet and the results were awesome. It was the motivation [...]

I did it! I have my CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certification! I even did it with incredibly jacked up arms. I’m pretty sure that a CrossFit class is one of the few places I could have walked into with bruised and taped up arms and about half of the people there knew what it was from. [...]

We don’t take the time to be grateful or appreciate them when they are going right. Everything just really came together this week. I realized how great it was [...]
A little over a year ago I started on this crazy CrossFit journey. It’s been one helluva ride and we are just getting started. In December of 2010, I signed up for a 28 day challenge called Strength and Beauty. I signed up in December but wasn’t going to start until March. I had to [...]
I cleaned out my drawers on Saturday and had a moment when I realized how many body shapers I owned. That pile of shapers in that picture all belong to me. Belly shapers, butt lifters, thigh smoothers, Spanx, Jockey, Flexees, ShaToBu, you name it, I have it. Let’s think about those words for a minute [...]
