Becoming CrossFIT

One of my favorite benchmark WODs is Cindy because it looks and sounds so deceptively simple and then those darn push-ups get me every time! I just don't have the upper body strength I guess. Today we did Cindy and I felt a little down on myself afterward because I didn't perform as well as I had hoped, but then I had a great conversation with another member that really got me excited about CrossFit and performance again.

Total + Nutrition

Today I had a meeting with a nutritionist at school and we did CrossFit Total at the gym, both good things to assess every once in a while.

Home is where the CrossFit gym is!

Today at CFSP, we had the very rare occurrence in our 6:00 PM class to be graced by the WOD dominance of THREE (3!!!) visiting CrossFitters from different states. Usually we get a few people passing through our gym weekly who are visiting the Twin Cities for various reasons, but these three individuals are not only visitors, they're REPEAT visitors!

On Preparation...for the WILD!

So I'm really excited right now because I leave on Thursday to go camping with my favorite Canuck, Rachel! And although I've been "cheating" a little with this paleo challenge because I wanted to take advantage of Minneapolis/St. Paul Restaurant Week, I plan on keeping it very paleo out in the wild. Just like our caveman ancestors, right?

Yoga and Balsamic Vinegar OVERLOAD

Today's theme is taking some basic stuff and putting them in overdrive - my yoga class trial and a recipe!

Belated WOD Post...

Sorry I've been a little MIA lately, and unfortunately, this post will have to be on the shorter side. Graduate finals are such a time suck! But...everyone can use a study break now and then :)
