Sorry for the long post last night. I meant to write something short about Holly’s passing but the words and tears just kept on flowing. Writing about my little dog and how much she meant to me really helped me express my grief and put her death into perspective. Although other people have lost parents, … More Day 343: Coming Home
Friday, December 7th I really can’t get over how beautiful it is here in Florida. I always forget when I am here for long periods of time. But whenever I come back, the beauty floors me. Even though it is not really cold here (at all), I am enjoying the warmth and blue skies. This … More Day 341 and 342: O Christmas Trees
Tuesday, November 13th It was another strength day in Crossfit! I love those days. We did 4 sets of 2 bench presses and honestly, I was nervous. My arms are definitely the weakest part of my body and I knew I had lost a lot of strength. However I wanted to keep up with Kitt, … More Day 317 and 318: Bench Press PR and Beautiful Pollution
Omg I just drank water from the tap and didn’t die! Life in America is so… safe. Except when my mother takes me out for an unexpected 6 hour shopping marathon. Nobody is safe then. Especially my wallet. Sunday, November 11th Drinking an Americano at my favorite cafe in Shanghai. ET Cafe in Xuhui. Monday, … More Day 315 and 316: Back at Crossfit
Monday, November 5th You know it’s fall when closed toes shoes come out of the closet. As a Florida girl, my heart will always lie with my beloved sandals. However, when I found this pair of brown loafers in North Carolina I was actually excited to hide my oddly long toes in these cute shoes. It only … More Day 309: Loafers and a Deadlift PR
Apparently China wants to deport me tomorrow. They do not understand that I actually left the country when I went to Japan on the cruise (are they so mad at Japan that they don’t consider it a country??) The police wrote me a little note that said “You need to entry and exit visa. Your … More Day 301: It’s all in the booty
Wow 300 days of the 365 Project down. Only 66 more days to go! This year is flying by. And what happened to the weekend??? It is so cold here that I just want to stay inside, find some sort of fire (maybe the mask-less metal welders next door), and drink warm beverages while watching all … More Day 300: A Legit Crossfitter
Thursday, October 25th At Crossfit we started working on our rope climbing technique. This isn’t your playground rope climb with helpful little knots along the way. Nope, this is just a singular rope hanging from the ceiling. The technique is to wrap the rope under and over one foot then stepping on top of the … More Day 298: I Am Strong and Able
I had another amazing workout at Crossfit last night and won yet another group strength test. I held a 12kg kettlebell over my head for 4 minutes and 54 seconds! Beat everybody! It is amazing how important good form is to generating strength and power. Too bad my one month membership expires next week :-(. I … More Day 295: My greatest love affair
The time has come my friends. My bags are packed. My clothes are laid out. My arms tingle in anticipation of lugging around 150 pounds of luggage. Good thing I like to lift heavy. But I’m always getting ahead of myself. Let’s get back to Tuesday! My second to last day in town. Somehow I … More Day 254: Back to Bangs
