I did it! I showed up and competed in my first Individual CrossFit Competition. It was a LONG and HOT day. We competed in four different workouts and I didn't get time capped nor get a "Did Not Finish" (DNF) on any of them. I didn't really know what to expect. I got there early, … Continue reading Competition…
This Saturday I will enter the competition floor… by myself. I’ve done it before with my partner; (The Amazing Justin York) and while Team Vicious and Delicious had a great run last year, this Saturday I don’t have a team mate. This will be my first individual competition. (It’s a 100% scaled competition btw) To … Continue reading Going Alone…
I haven't thought about this in a LONG time and now I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I didn't want to write this blog, and for the last few weeks I have been putting it off. I didn't want to talk about a subject that would potentially make people pissed off at … Continue reading Surgery…
This is not the first time I've had this dream and this time is similar to the last time this dream starting happening... Before I get into this dream, let me preface this with the confession that I don't usually remember my dreams. In fact, very few dreams have I remember over my lifetime. When … Continue reading So… I’ve been having this dream…
When I started my CrossFit journey, I thought CrossFit was the answer. I thought that if I worked out hard enough, I would get the results I wanted. In fact, I remember hearing skinny people talk about eating whatever they wanted because they workout so much. I took that mentality as a pass for me … Continue reading 23/7
Today, my life has taken a change and It's important for me to celebrate. I woke up this morning pain free with only mildly stiff muscles (which is normal for me). I didn't really pay attention to it until I was putting on my shoes. That first time bending over, for the last few weeks, … Continue reading Always learning…
It's been a few weeks since I've posted something. Sorry about that. Let me answer a few questions... No I have not quit, given up, or gained all the weight back. haha! I've had a TON of inner conflict going on. I haven't been able to put my finger on what my problem is and … Continue reading Breaking The Silence…
I clearly got really behind on my blog. Good news: It's not because I stopped this whole fitness thing. I've been working hard and eating well. In the past month I dropped below #300 and have been feeling really great in my body. I've just allowed other things to consume my time lately. I apologize … Continue reading Where did I go?
I've been wanting to writing about running for a while now. I hate running and I have always hated running. The longest distance I have ever run was a 5K and I've run that many times. Why do I hate running? It's not the burning lungs or the cramping muscles. It's not the distance necessarily … Continue reading Running…
Here I am in my final year... the final count down. Will I be Fit by 40? Last week I turned 39 and I can't help but be overwhelmed with self-imposed pressure. On one hand, I love the pressure. On the other hand, I'm scared to fail. It's that tension that I deal with on … Continue reading E’ry Day…
