If I Didn’t Have CrossFit, My Life Would Suck

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit

I mean this with every breath that I breathe.

All I really do is CrossFit and work. That’s about it.

I am desperate to move to someplace warmer — preferably a beach. To someplace where there’s a CrossFit community that my daughter can join. To someplace where I can leave my computer behind and not think about it.

I don’t like how I look (story of my life). I’m getting older, so recovery is harder. My kids are leading their own lives now.

So, here I am: Me and CrossFit. And since sometimes CrossFit and me aren’t the best of friends, my life sucks anyway.

I PR’ed CrossFit Benchmark Elizabeth

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit

I’m in a rut again with CrossFit. I’ve been doing a lot of grunt work, and it’s definitely taken its toll mentally. I’ve also been struggling with programming. I follow many gyms, and lately, none of their workouts have been appealing to me — which means I program my own. Again, this is taxing. I did CrossFit benchmark workout Elizabeth on a whim yesterday because it was programmed.

Elizabeth is:

21-15-9 of

  • Squat Cleans 95 lbs for women
  • Ring Dips

And I beat my time by over 2 minutes! This was a shock to say the least, especially considering my garage was a balmy 40 degrees. I last did this workout 6 months ago, so I didn’t think I’d PR it. I can definitely say my ring dips are much better, and I pushed the squat cleans I think more. Still, it was a shock. But, when you have been doing something for so long and you’re struggling, any small victory is a win.  

I am trying to grow my YouTube channel so if you’re inclined, I’d really appreciate if you checked it out and subscribed. Thanks so much!

I Feel Blah…

by crossfitmomm, posted in Life Lessons and Advice

Everything in my life right now is blah:  work, CrossFit, health, diet, food, life in general.

CrossFit programming is boring due to prepping for the CrossFit Open.  It’s ceaseless rowing, thrusters, double unders, and burpees.

Work.  Where to start?  I just want to be independently wealthy.

Diet.  I started a new 8 week program.  I’m sticking to it, but I’m about as enthused as an aphid when a ladybug lands on her plant.

Life.

I feel like I’m going through the motions–motions I don’t even like.

My body is bloated.  My sleep sucks.  My period is out of whack.  My stomach hurts.

Menopause?  Stress?  Diet?  Winter Blues?

Who knows?

This, too, shall pass.  This, too, shall pass…
