This train isn’t stopping. Not for lack of time or for injury. Believe me, there are many days where I want to throw in the towel. Pretty much since Day 1, I have negative and quitter type thoughts. But I also have the exact opposite feelings of accomplishment and pride for the good things too… Continue reading It’s a Mental Battle – E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.
Let’s play a little catch up. About 15 weeks ago, I said, I’m done. Too fat. I don’t like it. Need to get to work. Eat better. Work out consistently. Focus. And instantly, I was awesome at life and lost 50 lbs in 2 months. WRONG. But I did get to work instantly and started… Continue reading 15 weeks in. Busy. Tired. Repeat.
Hey y’all, I know it’s a been a little bit since my last post. Life sometimes gets in the way! You know that, right? Well here I am and I have some catching up to do 🙂 So I’ve been chugging along, working out, eating great 90% of the time and doing fine. And then… Continue reading REST… sometimes it’s necessary.
Everyday is You vs. You. Not you vs. them. Not you vs. her/him. How are you going to compete with yourself today? If you’ve been following along, I write about healthier living and fitness. So this YOU vs. YOU is focused on just that. But it applies to all aspects of life. If you’re always… Continue reading You vs. You
Good morning, afternoon and evening. Who knows when you’ll be reading this. But here I am. TEN WEEKS IN… and SIX whole years for CrossFit and CrossFit Boom. I’ve been around for a while. And although, at my current state of fluff, you’d take one look at me and not believe it’s been 6 years,… Continue reading 10 Weeks In… But I’m In This for the LONG Haul!
If you’re not a worker-outer-er… (yes I know how wrong that is, but that’s how my brain functions. WORKER-OUTER-ER) then you may not know how freakin good it feels to get better at your fitness! I’m a competitive person by nature and I really don’t mind working out. But when I joined CrossFit, oh so… Continue reading I’m here for the GAINS!
This isn’t a feat of athleticism for most, but for me it’s a start. Finally… (and it’s been a really, really, really long time) I jogged/shuffled a full 400m without stopping. It may not happen again soon, but it happened. And that my friends is progress! After that run our coaches tried to kill us… Continue reading 400m… more than a walk!
As cheesy as that sounds, it’s ringing pretty true. Like a broken record, I keep saying my body and mind are adapting to the work, the meal prep and the want-to. And the bittersweet truth is that I will have to keep working harder. But that means I’m making gains. And even though the work… Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier, You Just Get Better
Y’all… it’s tough. The grind, the eating, the soreness. I’ve been here before and I’m sure most of you have at some point in your life but getting back to it is a struggle. A few posts ago, I said I’d be more positive. I think I am in general but it’s hard to not… Continue reading I am Going to Succeed!
Slowly but surely, I’m getting there. Disciplined. I’m following the rules. I’m playing the game. I have a goal and I need to meet it. It’s taken me less time than I gave myself credit for, which is awesome but I’m not fully there yet. I still want a cookie. Some will say, it’s ok,… Continue reading Discipline, it’s a love/hate relationship!
