Another week of training done! The beginning of the week went pretty well. By Friday, I was wiped out and it showed in my workout. I made sure I got plenty of rest this weekend, so hopefully that will help for this coming week! Monday, September 12 Strength: 5×3 BTN (behind the neck) lunges off the racks – I…

Workout Recap – Week of 9/5
Last week was just okay. I didn’t achieve anything remarkable and I had a couple of pretty awful workouts, but I had a couple of decent workouts as well. Monday, September 5 I didn’t workout per se, but my husband and I found a little arboretum near our house with a hiking trail so we took our dog for…
Workout recap – Week of 8/29
I’m a little behind, but here’s my workout recap for the week of August 29. This was my first full week back at the gym in 4 or 5 weeks. It felt good to get back into the habit of going more consistently. And the best part was, I RX’d my very first WOD! Which was then followed up by a horrific…
Back to Training + Starting Renaissance Periodization Template!
Well hello there! It’s been awhile. Not only has it been a few weeks since I last updated the blog, it’s been a while since I paid much attention to my gym or nutrition routines.

Why I Stopped Counting Macros
I know that for the past couple of weeks all I posted were workout recaps. And now I’ve even fallen behind on those. But I have several drafts that I’m still working on, including one that’s been through about 27 revisions already. I promise I’ll get those posted as soon as I’m certain they’re 100% ready! I wanted to talk…
Workout Recap – Week of July 4
I completely forgot to write down my workouts during the week of June 27. I only made it to the gym twice and ran once, didn’t hit any PRs or do anything remarkable, so there was nothing much to write about, anyway. Last week, however, was a great week. It was the first time in a long time that…

Workout Recap – Week of June 13, 2016
Another week of training done! I had a couple of good days and a couple of bad days. But the best thing was that on Friday, I finally was able to do a WOD with the listed weight! There was another part of that WOD that I started to scale after a few rounds, so I didn’t technically RX the workout,…
