  • One thing that I do that really helps is to try and estimate how long it's going to take before I start. How long the whole thing will be and how long the first round will be. Then, if I'm way under on time, it makes me think about it.
  • Here in the PNW there is a lot of salmon. I only eat wild caught salmon. I'm lucky that i can often get it very very fresh but frozen is ok, too. I buy fillets, not steaks. You just want it to be the best quality. We almost always grill it. My kids are really picky, but they will eat it if I put a very thin coating of bbq…
  • This morning was Jackie: 500 m row 50 thrusters (15 kg for me) 30 pull ups (used a band) went all out on the row. 50 thrusters is a lot. all those thrusters effected my arms more than I predicted they would Have a super weekend, all!

  • I have used poker chips but as a 50 year old woman, I figure it's good brain exercise to apply myself and get it done. Some days are better than others with brain performance...
  • I do crossfit 3x/week and dbwod on Thursdays. Our crossfit coach is the dbwod coach; we're using dumbells and it's in different parks around town. And, it's FREE! It is so nice to get outside and we don't really do much skill work so it's quick. I usually am sore after crossfit. I'm not usually as sore after dbwod and it…
  • Today was 15 min AMRAP 10 pushups 15 wallballs 20 KB swings my score: 270. Many of us at our box are doing the whole life challenge starting this Saturday. Anyone else?
  • No PR or anything for me but my friend did her first box jump. She's 60 years old and has been working up to it over the last couple of months. Yeah!
  • I made steel cut oats last night while I was cooking dinner. I packed it up (enough for 3 breakfasts). Hard boiled eggs can be made ahead. Greek yogurt is great. Sometimes I will throw some raw oats in as overnight oats. quiches and frittatas can be made and frozen. burritos freeze and reheat fine
  • I did this when my kids were little. Now I'm more likely to cook double (or more) or a dish and freeze it for later. But the OAMC makes so much sense. Less waste, less overall clean up.
  • I usually take dinner leftovers for lunch. I also keep hard boiled eggs, hummus, & wholly quac around to fill things out. I usually can stretch lunch with salad greens. And, I always have fruit. Sometimes I will make a marinated bean salad on the weekend that I can eat for several lunches. Something like lentils w/ tons of…
  • I used to workout after work and I found that I kind of worried about what we going to do. Now, I workout in the mornings. Never know until I get there what it is and that is fine.
  • Our Saturday workouts (when we have them) are often partner workouts. Since this is kind of an extra credit workout for me, I'm happy just to be working out with my friends. Otherwise, it depends. Sometimes the workout is to do something like 100 pushups, 100 pullups, 100 squats, 100 DU's, 100 burpess...splitting it up…
  • Wow, I'm impressed with the workouts, folks. I'm new here. Have done crossfit for a year. Love it. Life changing for this 50 year old mom who works way to much At 6:00 a.m. we did 5 min AMRAP 10 push press (25kg) 10 burpees I did 52.
