Why Am I So Confident?
Where did this new found confidence come from? I stopped caring about what others think. I stopped wanting to be part of everything. I stopped pushing myself to always be available. I told myself I was beautiful and that was the only opinion that mattered. I am beautiful.

paleocaveman:
This is “The Beast” an awesome athlete for her tiny frame, she moves quick, and this year she has grown so much on her own. Here is a list of things she has learned and will use for the new year! So proud of her.

It should be more about me as much as possible
Listen to learn
Ask questions
Learn to say no
I am the most important person
If I neglect...
After hot yoga this morning (which I still have a headache from) I went to brunch and I ordered what’s called the Guerilla Scramble. This lovely meal includes 6 scrambled eggs, grilled chicken, half an avocado, grape tomatoes, and a fruit bowl. I devoured it all. It also came with 4 pieces of multi-grain toast which I normally wouldn’t eat but I was still hungry after eating all that...

1000 Rep Club
Sorry for the sappy stuff earlier. Back on my fitness grind. 1000 rep club challenge of 1000 push ups in 1 week completed in 5 days now to rest my poor aching shoulders = )
Love is not easy. If it was easy we would all have it and life would be grand. Love is not easy and that’s why we need to put work into it. Love starts off like a seed. It needs water and sunlight (meaning work and nurture) in order for it to become a flower. Love is not easy, it takes effort, time, and work, it takes two. It takes two…..
This one is for me
For all the tears I’ve cried, for all the stress, for all the heartbreak, for all the give and nothing in return, for all the anxiety, for all the tears, for never having anyone but myself, for being told to man up when I needed someone to listen, for needing help and getting nothing, for all the tears yet again, for being treated like crap when I gave my all, for all those who...
Lift for Lungs (Fundraising Event for lung cancer) →
Please consider making a donation in support of a good cause to help save lives. A dear friend of mine lost a relative to lung cancer and our box is hosting its first ever Lift for Lungs fundraiser in his name. Every little bit helps. I’ll be competing in the elimination WODs.
Wonders what it would feel like to have someone just as dedicated as I am. Wonders what it would feel like to be truly loved. Wonders what it would feel like to be in a real commitment for once. I wonder……
1000 Rep Club
450 pushups done. 550 more pushups by Tuesday. My shoulders are taking a beating.
Filled with passion, determination and perseverance, my eye is set on the finish line and my heart is set on the goal.
Today should have easily been a PR today for squat cleans but I learned that 12 hours in between WODs especially when it’s a Hero WOD is not enough time to recover. The penalty burpees were no fun = (
rippedfuel asked: Hey you beastess you,
congrats on your thruster PR. i hated thrusters with a passion because I cant just throw my arms above my head so doing them fast was impossible. Plus me+overhead anything=major suckage. hehe.
Anyways my question is; any WOD ideas for a girl who is vastly missing the barbell and pull up bar and only has herself, the road, and a kettlebell to...

WatchSo a few weeks back I posted a video of me doing Fran RX for the first time. Fran was a huge personal test for me. It comes with a story. Back in November we had tryouts for our own Affiliate team for the 2011 Crossfit Games. When coach was putting up the info for it he looked at me and told me I should tryout. I said ok but I wasn’t quite sure why he wanted me to try out. I had only been...

Finally Broke Down
I finally let it out. I finally broke down. I’ve been holding my head high and trying to stay strong and today I couldn’t do it anymore. It’s snowing I have to be at work in 3 hours and the thought of being stuck there all night broke me down. It’s been hell for the last two months and today I just couldn’t anymore. Now, I’m recomposed and can face life again. I...

Too cold for topless Tuesday ; )
Love, love, love that I have so many friends...
