Working on my eating habits
I skip way too many meals and when I’m hungry I take the easy and lazy way out and eat something like fruit when I should be getting my protein and fat on. So I decided to calculate out an average of where my calories should be in order to put on some weight. These numbers are based on a 2200 calorie diet although I would like to be taking in a 2500 calorie diet. Ok so the aim is to get...
Do you ever feel like such a failure at things? DONT! The fact that you tried (even if you failed) is an achievement in itself. Keep trying! Every failed attempt brings you one step closer to success. Every failed attempt is exactly that, an attempt, and that’s more than what a lot of people can say for themselves. Keep trying, keep working hard, success will follow.

I'm a runner but while it keeps me fit, it's doing nothing much for my body composition (yeah I trimmed down, but not getting leaner/stronger - you know how it goes) so I see some serious weight training in my future and I really like what I see about Crossfit.

Organic Vs. Non-Organic
Farming has existed for nearly as long as we have. In the past, most people in the country farmed as a means of living; this was the main lifestyle before the industry and automobile age. A non-organic way of farming that has been adopted is to use methods that fight pest infestation and to produce higher quantities of crops.
The first methods are pesticides and herbicides, which are used to...
It’s never about the looks or the money. Its about the beautiful person on the inside.

Do One Thing a Day That Scares You (For you JV)...
@thefameofhealth @rippedfuel
I normally whip myself across my triceps. I cut up a pair of long socks and pulled them up over my arms to protect them. Go figure now that I finally thought about protecting my arms I actually didnt whip myself in the arms. I had long socks on and still ended up with these bruises after days of working on my double unders. Oh and somehow I totally missed and the rope came back and hit my right...
There was a reason I quit smoking
And that reason was not to get lung cancer from second hand smoke. Why can’t people be a little more understanding and respectful of us non smokers. Even if I am the only non smoker in the group.
Working on my double unders in the backyard...
Damn my big toe!
I walked past my parent’s bedroom and their door was closed almost all the way. I can hear my mom calling my name so I go see what she wanted. As I’m leaving the room I asked her how she knew it was me walking by, she says to me who else in the house has a toe that cracks with every step. LMFAO! Damn my double jointed big toe! It really does crack with every step. I never have to...
AHHHH!!!
Every time I think about the box tryouts creep into my thoughts and my stomach does a little dance. It’s like any other WOD, its like any other WOD, its like any other WOD. Damn it! Its not working! Lol why cant my body not be sore so I can get it done already?!? Good luck to everyone today! As I cheer you on I will be freaking out on the inside. That is all for now.
Spring is in the air, motorcycles on the road, and...
I may not quite have what it takes for these crossfit games but one thing I can give and I will always give is my all. Balls out, heart on the floor “all drawn to tears with your efforts” as a fellow crossfitter said. Thats my style, give it everything I have. I will never quit on myself. I am surrounded by such dedication and inspiration and I wont let anyone down especially not...
Inspired!
So inspired by all the heart and drive I am surrounded by at my box. I got to watch my fellow crossfitters go hard at the first official WOD for tryouts. I have to admit my nerves are working now lol. Everyone did an awesome job today! Lets hope I dont throw up between now and when I do my tryout.
Today is the day! Best of luck to all my fellow...
Listening to the rain fall against the window while curled up in bed is amazingly therapeutic
Weight Update
I am a month away from my deadline and I am stuck at 108lbs. Never broke the 110 mark and there’s no way I could put 17lbs on in a month. Do I just have to accept that for right now and this point in my life this is the weight I am meant to be at? 125lbs was obviously unrealistic, 25 pounds is a lot of weight for me to put on especially since my body weight always averaged around 100lbs. I...

Acknowledgement is Always Good
Finally! So I’m at a diner after a night of dancing and drinking with a bunch of people and my sister. I order my food and realized after the waitress walked away that I forgot to tell her to leave off the home fries and toast that usually come on the side of an omelette. Of course everyone asked why and I told them its not part of my diet and looking at my frame everyone was curious why I...
I am sore! (I like it though)
1st WOD in 2 weeks
3 rounds of:
“Cindy”
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
Then:
5 power cleans
AMRAP in 20 min
I completed 4 rounds plus 1 round of “Cindy” plus 5 pull ups and 1 push up.
It felt great to do an actual WOD again!
