I love CrossFit! It's the best thing I've ever done for my physical and mental health. :) WHY I'm doing it is a post all on it's own that I need to write, but today I'm going to share my 10 Workout Must-Haves in relation to physical, emotional, and mental support. CrossFit is intense, but I LOVE that every workout can be scaled for anyone to do it...no matter what your fitness level is. [pinit count="horizontal"] I am not an expert. I am ...

What Happened On Saturday When I Ran A 5K
Oh my word, y'all! I can't even believe I'm telling you this. I'm so excited and shocked! After running the color run at the end of September, Ernie and I signed up for a local 5k that we've run a couple times before. It's an enjoyable run in the historic district of a nearby town. Usually the "Frosty Freeze" is in December, but they bumped it to November for some reason. Ernie was bummed because he had less time to train. Me? Not bummed at ...
Taking Care of Me – What I’m Eating
Happy Thursday! I hope y'all are having a great week! We had a crazy busy weekend with a fundraiser relay race in South Carolina. I ran 6.37 miles in three different small spurts. It was fun.

I hadn't planned to share this post today, but now it's in my mind and I need to get it out. I have to admit that it's a little on the awkward side of things. Talking about my face isn't the most enjoyable thing to discuss, but I really feel like someone out ...
My Weight Loss Journey Continues
Happy Monday, y'all! I had a good and very busy weekend. My hubby was out of town, so I took the opportunity to get some things done that have been hanging over my head. I hope to show you one of those things tomorrow! *wink My most recent, big DIY project has been on myself. I'm really excited to share with you {once again} about my weight loss journey. The last time I wrote here about weight loss was almost two years ago. I was working ...
What is Whole30? {Whole30 Meal Ideas}
Happy 1st Day of Spring 2013! I'm ready for some warm weather, aren't you?! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook then you know that I've been doing the Whole30 eating program. Today is Day 18 and I am thrilled with how I feel. Several folks have asked for more information on what I'm doing, so I thought a blog post would be the perfect way to share that! The basic concept of Whole30 is an elimination diet {no dairy, no grain, no sugar} to ...
