My world.

Just another girl looking for a way to chronologize her life.

My #wcw is myself. Because it's my birthday. Because I am proud of my accomplishments, in and outside of the gym. Because I am happy with who I am as a person. Because you should be happy with yourself #selflove #birthdaygirl #barmup #muscleup #proudtobeblended #itsmybirthdayicandowhatiwant #hashtag

I love my massage therapist. Because I do crossfit, I am broken. Nothing serious, just tight muscles. All. The. Time. To help counterbalance this, I do yoga once a week and I go to my massage therapist once a month (this month was twice, but my legs needed lovin' too.) I love my massage therapist. She is almost like my shrink as well, I talk to her about this and that, she helps me work through things. We exchange recipes and talk about our cats (jealous yet?). I went to see her today due to a nagging leg pain that I don't know what it is. When I run, the back side (not hammie, not IT band) BURNS. It feels like it's on fire. So she massaged it out, showed me the proper way to do a few yoga poses (she is the best), and sent me on my way. Before the session was over, she did my traps and neck, without me asking! When I thanked her for it, she said I needed it. And need it I did. My traps compensate for other upper back muscles, so they are always tight. My neck muscles are always tight, the ones that run from the base of the skull down. God I love that woman. I always feel so much better when I leave there :)

I did this radio show and the deejay asks me, ‘What if you woke up tomorrow and you were beautiful?’ What do you mean ‘what if’? He said, ‘What if you woke up and you were blonde and you had blue eyes and you were 5’11 and you weighed 100 pounds and you were beautiful? What would you do?’ And I said, ‘Well, I probably wouldn’t get up ‘cause I’d be too weak to stand.’ And I felt very sorry for him, ‘cause if that’s the only kind if person that you think is beautiful, you must not see very much beauty in the world. And I think everybody is beautiful. And if you don’t think that I am beautiful, you are missing out. Because I am so beautiful.

People are crazy.

Tumblr please fix my problem with photosets. I want to blog some more :(

[canadianmightymouse]

Let's get physical!

In an effort to take less rest days and motivate myself to do more than just crossfit, I’ve decided to post on here what I do in a week, every week. 

Sunday 05

Rest day. I had planned to go running, but it was raining sideways, so I opted out.

Monday 06

I did most of Bob Harper's Yoga for the Warrior. I say most because after two hours sleep post night shift, I did not feel like making my body do things it doesn't want to do. I skipped the core exercises, and the standing splits.

Tuesday 07

Crossfit

Strength: Find your 1RM for snatch. Ended at 95# (10# PR!) but I know I have more in me. I'll try again when I have more than 2.5 hours of sleep after a night shift!

52-20-15-10-5

Air squats

KBS 35#

Abmat sit ups X2 (so 50-40-30-20-10)

11:16 Rx

Then tried to work on double unders, but decided to stop before I hurt myself.

Wednesday 08

Crossfit

Strength: Strict press at 55# (3 reps, every minute, 8 minutes)

AMRAP 15

15 Hang squat cleans 85#

200 m run

15  24" box jumps

3+1 Rx+ 24" box jumps instead of 20", cause I am crazy.

Thursday 09

Crossfit

Strength: Deadlifts at 135# (3 reps a minute, for 8 minutes)

3 RFT

10 C2B pull ups

10 wall walks

20 push press 65#/55#

This one was disgusting. I don't have C2B so I did them until I couldn't, then switched to regular pull ups. 

I did 15 wall walks and 15 3 sec handstand holds, because my shoulder was going to collapse if I kept at the wall walks.

Started my push presses at 65# (Rx was 95#), and then had to drop down either after the first or second round.

Finished at 20:27, and can only feel my shoulders now. 

Friday 10

Ran 5km, in about 27:30 ish

Then swam 300m followed by some hot tub relaxing.

Saturday 11

Rest day - I thought I would be able to include sky diving, because of how high my heart rate would be, but it wasn't as high as I would have expected it to be!

Just thought I’d make a well-needed edit to one of these ‘Happiness is…’ meme things I saw floating around.

[canadianmightymouse]

Happiness is not when someone asks me if I've lost weight.

[canadianmightymouse]

It may not look appetizing, at all. But, plain greek yogurt, paleo granola, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and chia seeds make a delicious snack :)

[darning-socks]

You’re allowed to be sad, but please don’t think that nobody loves you.

[exvind]

this is oddly important to me

[canadianmightymouse]

This makes me happy.
