CrossFit Take Two

Posted on 22 May 2020

I was really nervous to go to my second CrossFit class. The first one was good and I can say that I went, it’s now just the discipline to keep going. It was nice having smaller classes and really being able to get to know a few people before people come back and things get kind of nutty. 

Today’s Workout Plank/Hollow Hold EMOM 6 min EMOM Alternating between plank (of your choice) and hollow hold

Here I did planks on my knees and elbows and my hollow holds were arms elevated by my sides and legs elevated but sometimes bent. I was shocked I was …

Trying to Track My Progress

Posted on 27 August 2019

My Dream

I’ve been tossing around the idea of starting a podcast to track my progress over the next few months. I am nervous about looking weird or sounding weird or people judging my starting point. When I think I have pushed those negative thoughts and feelings down and am ready to start, I come up with the excuse that I’m not ready yet or that no one will want to listen or care. Though today on Linkedin I saw a post that I think was meant for my eyes.

To build something you’ve got to start somewhere. The first few anything’s …

It’s Not Cool to Share the Flu

Posted on 20 January 2019

Well, one of my coworkers decided to come to work sick and share the flu with the office. I was the first to fall. It started Thursday. I woke up with no voice and feeling a bit exhausted with just the slightest exertion of energy.

Everyone Isn’t Always Thinking What You Think They Are Thinking

Posted on 8 January 2019

Tonight I had to go to the grocery store. I was out of protein and that is just completely unacceptable with the amount of working out that is happening on the Jim Stoppani New Year’s Challenge.

The Perfect Plank

Posted on 16 December 2018

This past week, Ashley made me do :60 planks and I almost died. Which has led me to post this post. This week I will be doing a short plank challenge to try and get my muscles in order so I don’t look like a ding-dong because I can’t hold a :60 plank in the middle of the gym. It’s embarrassing. 

The Challenge

For two weeks I will be doing a plank twice a day for an allotted time frame leading up to the :60 plank on the 14th day. 

Day One: 15 secondsDay Two: 15 secondsDay Three: 20 secondsDay Four: 20 secondsDay Five: 30 secondsDay …

It’s Time to Get Off the Struggle Bus

Posted on 28 October 2018

I know I’ve been MIA for a while. Well since August 17th to be exact. That was the day I found out my team was losing our jobs on September 17th. I had 30 days to find a new job while still meeting crazy deadlines at my current job. I’m the type of person who is loyal. I’m not going to do my job any less because I knew I wouldn’t be there after September.

Over the last nine years, I’ve switched jobs almost every two years. That’s just how my industry operates. I don’t agree with it, but I do what I need to …
