#quadsforchristmas

my little journey with the paleo & crossfit life aka project #quadsforchristmas

[quadsforchristmas]

I'm a lover of a good devotional, and lol and behold, as I was looking for a new one, I discovered My church is releasing this on November 1st. 🙌🏼 #simplepursuitbook www.simplepursuitbook.com.

Since this week was October 3rd, I'm wearing this (slightly annoying) combo I never have before. Thanks again for the pants, @myquirkylife! #OnWednesdaysWeWearPink #OnWednesdaysWeWorkout

If I write the gym in my planner, maybe I'll get to go today? #Exhausted #WeekOfLongMeetings #EveryoneWantsAMeeting #unneccessaryrestdays #UnneccessaryMeetings #unneccessaryhashtags #IsItFridayYet #quadsforchristmas #RXdTheNap @erincondrendesign @glamplanner

I literally destroyed the 53lb kb. Coach Raul convinced me to keep it. I wasn't going to but after today, wtf not?! Slow AF at the WOD but I Rx'd it. Sorry about the kb @crossfitverus 😂🙍🏻💪🏼 #turtlerunningthroughpeanutbutter #rx #quadsforchristmas #FitAidFriday #SlowAF #StrongAF 😂 (at CrossFit Verus)

Seen this all over Insta so I bought a sample pack to try of four flavors. Eh. Not impressed. And I love red velvet! #buffbake #spreadthefit #crossfit #girlswholift #quadsforchristmas

When you totes hit your macros almost perfectly. #flexibledieting #iifym #quadsforchristmas #girlswholift @lil_riki_ @myquirkylife I wanna be like y'all. 💁🏻🏋🏻💪🏼

First CFA breakfast in years because, well, I only have a few days left of summer vacay. Doing whatever I want. The only fast food I'll eat next to In N Out is CFA (and maybe Five Guys). I keep it "local" like that. 🙍🏻☕️🍳🙏🏼 #ChristianChicken #FTW #ThoseHashbrownMedallionsTho 🙈 #postwodfuel #quadsforchristmas (at Chick-Fil-A Windward Parkway)

My flexible dieting guru @lil_riki_ prompted me to post about my #lilrikimotivator. Duuudddee, I've spent a few days contemplating this because there are SO MANY people that inspire me to continue crossfit, but I wouldn't have even found cf if it weren't for my former kickboxing/boot camp instructor @moethegiant. I've never been an athletic person, but I joined @knuckleup after one of my sorority sisters took me to a class. Before that I pretty much just did the elliptical at big box gyms. I'd get so bored, then stop going for awhile. I saw fitness as something I "had" to do. Kickboxing was the first time I went to the gym because it was "fun". I loved it enough that I hated missing the gym! Because I loved Moe's class so much, I signed up for her Boot Camp on a whim. I did all her boot camp cycles from Jan 2013 to June 2014. As a level 1 cf instructor, boot camp was basically crossfit. 🙌🏼🏋🏻 I never lifted heavy weights before. It was THE BEST choice I ever made. And for several reasons. Training with Moe helped me find not only physical strength, but mental and emotional strength as well. I'm kinda a Type A personality & want to do everything at the same time. Just like I can only approach each rep one at a time, I can only approach anything life "throws" me one thing at a time. This training has transcended into my personal & professional life. Today, as I struggled to row & wanted to quit, I remember what Moe always told me: "Don't say 'I can't'." A good teacher always stays with you. (I'd know!) Thanks always, Moe, for helping me find fitness I love. It's made me grow physically and mentally, as well as bring awesome folks into my life. Cheers! #lilrikimotivator #crossfit #moeknows https://youtu.be/w3QK3Z8K050

#lunch : @flatoutbread pizza topped with Trader Joe's Garlic Marinara, reduced fat mozzarella, arugula, and some Italian Aidello's chicken sausage. With a side of TJ's spinach salad for veggies. Hits that lil pizza craving. 🍕💁🏻 Gained 5 lbs doing the Whole Life Challenge & it's been one week offish counting macros again, which just works better for me. #flexibledieting #iifym #imback #werkwerkwerk #ThisGirlNeedsCarbs #QuadsForChristmas #girlsthatlift #carlyscitchen

Stoked to find cauliflower "rice" at @traderjoesfoodfinds here in Phoenix! This is the fresh version, but I keep looking for the frozen in ATL & can't find it... 🙍🏻#carlyscitchen #lunchbreak #lowcarb (at Trader Joe's-Surprise,AZ)

Corn on the cob + burgers remind me of summer. Made them @wholelifechallenge approved. Glass of wine because I survived my first WOD ever wearing shorts, hence, the wine glass.... And I had an indulgence point. #wifeyskills 😂 #sheliftsandcooks #FightGoneBad #QuadsForChristmas (at Alpharetta Woods, Georgia)
