Foundations Class #3
On the bus heading up to my third Foundations class and I am so excited/nervous! I’m trying to get up there a little early to get a speed workout in before our 1 on 1 session starts.
Before I left home I went to the CrossFit website to go over what each exercise is haha…..I don’t want to show up again today not remembering what they all are. I hope the videos worked!
After...

Protein Power Oats + Coffee
Morning glory! I woke up pretty early this morning, shocker, ready to rock n’ roll. I started the day with what has become a favorite breakfast of mine and I want to share this delicious recipe with you! So what has become one of my favorites? Protein Power Oats!

Motivation to Get Moving
You know those times when you would rather sit on the couch than go exercise? How do you find motivation to exercise when you just don’t feel like getting off your tuckish? I ask myself this question every now and then (like earlier today), and I have the feeling I am not the only one….
There is an unlimited number of things you can do to motivate yourself and I would like to share...

The Curse of Green Tea at Night
O how I have a love hate relationship with green tea. I love the taste of green tea and all the healthy benefits it packs, but when I drink green tea at night, it will keep me up all night. I know that green tea has this side effect on me and yet sometimes I forget and make me a glass of iced green tea before going to bed. I never got into a deep sleep, so 5 am hit and I was wide awake, very...

I have been dreaming of trying CrossFit for about a year now as well as join this gym, but financially I was unable to cover all the membership fees. However, in a few weeks my rent...

Biggest Urge to Write
I feel like I’ve got a million things to share and start as soon as I get back home to DC and I want to just spill it all! If I did tell you everything I’m pretty sure it take 30 minutes and that is what my journal is for, but for now because I just have this urge here we go:
• Book a flight home to Atlanta as soon as my sister gets back from France so I can see my family. These past...

Monday Tangents
I can not believe it is July! Where did June go? I feel like the summer is flying by in the blink of an eye and before we know it, it will be August. There were all these things I thought I would have accomplished by the end of June that I haven’t and I need to make sure they are done by the end of July or at least the wheels are in motion for their completion in August. Just because I...
