My workouts have really been my focus here for the last few weeks. It takes me back…
When I was 22-23, I worked in heavy construction after riding a 10-speed bike 10-20 miles a day. My weight was about 20-30 pounds above where I wanted it, and, it didn’t really come down, at the time.
But later, [...]
I just hafta share here, I’ve been concerned that continuing to do my (heavy) CrossFit workouts with the addition of a couple hours a day of dog walking at a fast pace seemed just too much for this body.
Yet today - I set new records on a benchmark weightlifting workout. For those of you who [...]
Whew. Yesterday I had such a breakthrough in my CrossFit workout that I am re-thinking everything about my goals.
I have only been a runner once in my life. At age 24, my husband and I both took lunch at work at the same time and met at the track to run 2 miles together. We [...]

Thanks to my back-from-Iraq son, I’ve done CrossFit two days this week and plan to again tomorrow. Currently I am *pleasantly* sore in arms and upper legs, a good place to be.
It is amazing how much of the ground I gained in the few months I did CrossFit is still hanging tough. I can still [...]
If you read me, you know I’m a little bonkers (in a good way) about my workout plan. CF works for any age or level of ability. CF grammas, CF Kids, amateurs, athletes, housewives, elite military, and, it can be done in any location. (Believe me, it’s been done). Alone or in CF gyms, hotel rooms or [...]
Exercise 660 minutes in September.
Focus this month:
At least 30 minutes per day, 3 out of 4 days.
Every 4th day is a rest day.
Work on intensity
Guard against adding too much, too fast.
This month has 30 days, 22 workout days and 8 rest days. For this first month I’m going to purposely set the bar low by not counting the rest days in the average.
This puts my goal for the month at 11 hours or 660 minutes of exercise. My walking pace is comfortably at a 20 [...]

Since I am back at it, thought I’d share. Check it out!
I gotta tell you here first because it was here that I started getting right enough on the food that I could get back to it. Then, two days after starting back walking, I hit the aspartame debacle and quit again. ;-/
That was two weeks ago now. I really rode that debacle. ;->
I decided today [...]
Yesterday’s post really moved me. I believe that thought is going to change my life.
It has changed my life already! I decided that means I don’t need to be thinking about or struggling over starting back with CrossFit, but just start. Today. So I did.
Funny thing, it is a rest day. LOL I’ve started but [...]
