Clarity. In recent conversations with my loving if at times too-psychologically-attuned family, they suggested I lack clarity around what I want: in my career, in my geography, in my mate. I disagreed, obviously, but have to wonder in a 3 v 1 situation if there isn’t some truth to what they’re saying? I’ve been trying…
Y’all already know I freakin’ LOVE pv.body, the subscription service that mails you surprise workout clothes every month. It’s great quality gear that motivates you to MOVE! As an update, I’ve also exchanged an item and was pleased with the ease of the process. You also know I’m a huge advocate of fitting exercise in…
Feel Good Friday is a roundup of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! It’s Get Sexy Month! Already feeling sexier, and love my girls that are getting sexy with me 🙂 I started my own damn fire.…

I also love that I can watch the seasons literally change before my eyes. This is less than thirty minutes away from my house, door to…
CrossFit Workout: 100 Thrusters for Time. Maximum pain in the minimum amount of time. Me: 12:10 at 75#, the soreness kicked in before the reps were even done. The personal trainer next to me watched me complete my reps and said, “I wanna be like you when I grow up.” He’s older than me. Today,…
I have been lifting weights for at least ten years. I’ve been CrossFitting for five. I’m no stranger to being the only girl in a gym doing olympic lifts, heavy weight, or handstand pushups. I have never once been asked to spot anyone. I have also never once worn a workout skirt in the gym.…
I can’t make this kind of thing up. You can also imagine how livid I was when this gym gem occurred recently at the Aspen Club, but I will try to maintain the humorous approach … I’m working on deficit deadlifts at 245#. Even if you don’t know what that means, just know that is me…
I wish I was talking about power cleaning, but I still haven’t found a new gym home … Nope, instead, a DailyHap-inspired mental spring cleaning about my athletic identity. I mentioned in my last post that I’ve always been an athlete (which isn’t true, as I didn’t really become an athlete until late junior high…
