My journey in CrossFit and health

avid Crossfitter (I work at my gym!), eat clean like 90% of the time, my boyfriend likes candy and sweets too much so dessert is a staple in my life 😍

One of my favorite ways to spend my mornings. #coffeeandabook #nookbook. Of course the twins I watch just woke up...but it was a peaceful half hour or so!

A little back rehab

I tweaked my back on Monday night at work trying to get a heavy box down from above my head level...ugh. 

But I was able to get into my chiropractor and she was able to really loosen it up. Thank god.

So I took Tuesday and Wednesday as rest days, and yesterday did a little simpler version of a regionals workout.

4 rounds of:

25 calorie row

8 c2b pullups

9 pushups

time- 17:59

Some days my faith and belief in my Buddhist practice fills me with such warm love that it surprises me. #sgiusa *The fact that the lotus flower sends forth pure white blossoms from roots sunk deep in muddy water expresses the idea that our highest nature is brought forth through committed engagement with the often difficult or disagreeable realities of life and society.* #nichirenbuddhism *The essence of compassion is empowerment.* #sometimesijustneedareminder

He's okay I guess 😊💜 #illkeephim #2ndpicturetogether @christdavis034
