Kitchen Adventures!

This weekend was all about taking adventures in the kitchen! I had been wanting to roast a chicken because The Label Says Paleo says its easy. And, because I didn't get to go to Vegas, that meant I got to go to the farmer's market to see my meat seller (they're only open every other weekend due to the inclement cold weather)!

Easing back into things

I decided Saturday would be my first day back at the gym since the awful stomach virus (or food poisoning?) mishap that left me sick and weak the whole week. I was feeling a little iffy about the whole thing when I woke up in the morning, but I chalked my stomach pain up to hunger pains and decided to tough it out at the gym.

Siiiiiiiiiick :(

Hey y'all! Sorry there probably won't be any posts here for a while. Yesterday (Tuesday) I was all excited to go to the gym because we were doing Fran and I told myself that THIS would be the day that I did 65# thrusters - one more step closer to doing Fran RX'd. Alas, I contracted a stomach virus some point in the afternoon and had to be transported to the hospital! I spent all day sleeping and even forewent going to Las Vegas for my psychology conference. I'm going to take it easy the rest of the week to let my body heal. Maybe Saturday I'll be back with an account of my cross-country skiing adventures - Susanne is here now making sure I get better so I can go!

Serious Leg Day

Today was a serious leg day for me, and not just at Crossfit. I started off the day by doing a fitness assessment at the recreational sports center at school, to round out my Bod Pod assessment from last week. Basically, I just wanted to get a baseline measurement of where I'm at fitness-wise right now, and maybe revisit things in April or May.

Slip, Rip, Mash, Steak

Today was one of those nasty rainy cold Minneapolis days, and after a long night of girl talk last night with some friends, I had a little difficulty getting out of bed this morning for the WOD. But...I prevailed and managed to walk a whole 8 feet before slipping on a slab of ice and hitting my entire left side on the concrete outside the gym.

BPBP - Belated Post & Bod Pod

I'm technically two days behind on posts since it's already EARLY Saturday morning! A lots been going on at school this week, and frankly I've just been too tired after all that work, working out, and then cooking that I haven't had time to sit down and breathe, let alone write.

Double your fun + breakfast goodies

After Friday's and Monday's "stanky leg," squat heavy workouts, our legs needed a break! So thank goodness today's WOD featured movements that focused more on our arms.

And I'm back!

I flew into Minneapolis this morning at 10ish AM and after a quick catch-up session with the roommate, headed over to Crossfit MPLS to get back into the swing of things.

Thrusting Ahead, Above and Beyond

Last night I checked the Crossfit Central Twitter feed to find that my favorite movement would be featured in the next day's WOD: THRUSTERS!

Shoulder work galore

Ok, so not the most creative title, but at least it didn't have the words "Holiday," "WOD," or "Part" in it! I'm definitely feeling sore today from Monday's Angie and the shoulder-heavy WOD we did today only compounded the effects.

Holiday WOD, Part IV

Ok, so these titles are getting a little old. I'll try to come up with something better for the next few Crossfit Central drop-in WODs...

Cookies!!!!!

When I went to lunch with my "bestie" Amy the other day, we stopped by Sur le Table in the Domain to check out all the goodies. They had cookie cutters on sale and I just couldn't resist getting a few shapes that represented my favorite things: the great state of Texas, cowboy boots, and of course, HIPPOS!

Holiday WOD, Part III

Today Ryon and I joined our friends Bryan and Victoria at Crossfit Cedar Park/Tillman Training (HEY Y'ALL if you're reading this :) ). Nothing beats a good workout on a sunny Saturday morning.

Holiday WOD, Part II & Some Good News!

Part II of my Holiday WODs in Austin, TX. Another day at Crossfit Central, but instead of the 6:00 PM class, I jumped in on the 6:00 AM class. Quite a different experience...
