Happy post-holidays! Kind of. We still have one more party to go. How ya feeling? Based on my CrossFit classes today, people aren’t feeling their best. I think everyone just feels like a cookie. Soft, gooey, and slow AF. Cookies are slow AF. I know I feel like that and I didn’t even have holiday cookies this year. That’s some bullsh*t right there. So I’m just giving myself some easier movements and going through workouts a little slower until I feel back to normal.
If you’re going through the same thing, remember that just because you had a little bump in the road with eating too much or not working out, doesn’t mean you can’t get back to where you were before the holidays. All you need to do is clean out that fridge and pantry, add in some leafy greens, clean meats and healthy fats and BOOM, you’ll feel back to normal in a week or so. Don’t let the sugar addiction take over your brain like it’s so good at doing. You don’t need the sugar, tell yourself that!

I love how honest your weekly workout posts are..”hungover from a Christmas party” Haha- your realness is what makes you such an inspiration. Love that sports bra and you got me addicted to Zella leggings.
I have a question on wearing colored leggings. It seems like every time I wear any color other than black, I get a big sweat puddle in the lady parts area. Does this happen to you? Why me, should I wear panties? They are just so uncomfortable while working out! Am I just a sweaty Betty? I don’t want to miss out on all this cuteness but don’t want to look like I peed my pants! Help!
I have the same issue! Please help us
I don’t understand the scoring on the Thurs workout. Score is lowest number of reps of what?
so the score is the lowest number you got each round. so maybe the first round of wall balls you got all 18 reps, but the last round of wall balls you only got 10 reps. your score would be 10. hope that makes sense!
Thursday Crossfit class got me hooked. I will give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration. Greetings, SImeon
Is there any way you could take us thru a progression for strict pull-ups? You look awesome at it! I am almost there again (rig fell last year and I fractured my patella and big toe) but I can only get one and half to jump a bit for it. Thanks!
the rig fell?!?! omg that’s terrible! we have our athletes do ring rows but then we also set up a squat rack with a barbell on top so you can reach it while sitting under it, then you can push your heels into the ground to help yourself do a pull up movements on the barbell. the only way i was finally able to do strict pull ups was getting stronger through kipping pull-ups
