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
Hard to imagine but I have only one week left in China. Not only am I going home for a month during the holidays (hooray!), but I am also anticipating another change that will completely shake up my life once again. I cannot tell you what is happening at this time but wait for a … More Day 307: Front Squats
Happy Thanksgiving! I wish you a wonderful holiday full of family, friends, and delicious food. We have a mini celebration tonight at an all you can eat Japanese BBQ buffet which will be epic. Then we celebrate for real this Saturday with a bunch of friends and of course, lots of food. I will be making … More Day 303: Animal House
Did you hear? They are not kicking me out of China. At least not yet! After a couple phone calls the police were informed that yes I left the country when I went to Japan and that I do not have to leave till December. Just in time for the holidays! All this worrying really … More Day 302: Hello Kitty
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
Two days of strength focused Crossfit after a week off of exercise means I can barely move today. This is the most extreme case of DOMS I have had in a while. Walking and lifting my arms is an extreme challenge. Fortunately it has been a great day despite mobility issues! Tuesday, October 23rd Ready … More Day 296: Netball and Cindy
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
