[almost] excited.

the past eight days have been the worst eight days of 2015 for me. i’m working though some feels over a really unfortunate situation that i have no desire to elaborate on here. BUT. i checked the wod i get to do today and for the first time in a week, i felt something other than heavy. i am [almost] excited about it.  strength work: 3RM back squat [gonna hopefully hit 215/220 for that]

wod: 2 rounds: 10 burpees, 10 thrusters, 10 burpees, 10 power snatch, 10 burpees, 10 push jerks, 10 burpees, 10 hang cleans, 10 burpees, 10 overhead squats [[RX weight: 115/75]]. 

that is definitely gonna get some of these feels worked out.

Anathema - The Lost Song, Pt. 2

and one day you’ll feel me a whisper upon the breeze and I’ll watch you stand there unafraid

and I’ll speak to you silently and know that you’ll hear me the feeling is more than I’ve ever known

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how amazing this album is. Also, found this “block quote” option while trying to find a way to indent. This will revolutionize my music posts. Now I can post both lyrics, and what I think. Also, the title track, Distant Satellites, also really good.

I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was… Not love at first sight exactly, but - familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you.

This year, I've struggled with some serious heartache trying to piece together emotions that come and go regarding shattered friendships I never imagined breaking. With so much free time on my hands this month, I've decided to feed my soul with as much positivity as I can by doing good and being around good people. This week has hit me hard- I have had amazing dates with some of the most wonderful women I know. I am so thankful for how empowering and supportive the ladies I've got in my corner are to each other. Life is truly beautiful when you surround yourself with people who do things out of love.

Slam balls are too much fun.

Yesterday’s workout was supposed to be quick, but my swolesister and I ended up spending two hours in beast mode, demolishing this WOD with heavy weights:

15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 deadlifts, squat cleans, bench press, GHD.

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable)

What a great challenge and a good welcome back from my Tumblr hiatus (life got busy y'all). I love reading when people believe in themselves, so hopefully you do too cause here are my five shameless things:--> I like that I have learned to stand up for myself and not put up with crap from other people.--> I like that I am an optimist.--> I like that I'm determined.--> I like that I'm outgoing.--> I like that I enjoy proving that I CAN when people say I CAN'T.
