Also, nutritional yeast is delish on popcorn!!

B + :-) DONATE BLOOD IF YOU CAN!!! Help save a life, or help someone have surgery, or have life-saving treatments!!! It's free and makes a difference!

YESSS!!! I'm so glad I'm not alone! I was going to start a threat called "Does anyone just want to cry after a sucky WOD?" I hated everything about it today, it was all things I super duper suck at, the only thing that could have made it worse was throwing T2B in there... BTW it was 5 rounds FT 12 pull-ups 20 box jumps (20…

First of all, WAY TO GO ON YOUR LOSS! Losing in the summer is HARD! I'm sure anyone on here will tell you that this whole losing thing is FULL of ups and downs, both on the scale and in our heads... Hang in there. Maybe it's time to switch up your routine so your mind has something new to focus on. I'm going to start a…

My goal is to string double unders together without doing a single in between them.... they are the bane of my existence!!

We do exactly this at my box and I have been through two testing weeks so far, my 1 RM for squats went from 85 lbs to 135 lbs, so I'm thinking I like this system! We also have an optional oly lifting class once a week just to work on one specific movement (last week was squat snatches, we spent an hour on them)

This is my second test week, I've been doing crossfit since March but had the entire month of May off as I was on a motorcycle trip.... Crossfit total: Back squat 135 (up 40 lbs from 90) Strict press 75 (up 10 lbs from 65) Deadlift 195 (Down??? from 210) but my legs were jello from taking FOREVER to find my 1RM squat :-(…

Philipino? Sorry I don't know how to spell that :-)

Keep going! Do what you can, rest when you need it. Persistence will make you succeed! I did two rounds of 30DS when I was much heavier than you... it's possible!!! I bet you're stronger than you think... :-) :flowerforyou:

I don't know .... at this point I think I am more concerned about feeding my body nutrients to build muscle and fuel my body rather than eating for the sake of eating. Which is a huge step for me.... but I find that I am counting nutrients now instead of calories. Just my 2 cents

Just started reading the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, don't know how it is yet as I am only a few pages in but I think it might be delicious!

I use Roger's Porridge oats and use a deep bowl - it almost spills over but not quite! :-)

I would imagine that finding your 1RM the first time would be tougher (I've only done it once too) but the next time it comes along, you can start at a higher weight and be less tired... at least that's what I hope will happen :-)

I use the Polar FT7 for crossfit and any other cardio (running usually)... it's definitely more accurate than the ones without a chest strap. I found the watch-only versions I had before, including the Mio Drive, were WAY to generous with the calories burned and I hated the fact that you had to stop and "test" your HR, the…

I'm sorry you're struggling!! I feel your pain.... it's a tough start for sure... mostly what I find works for me is trying to eat non-processed food. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen if you're in a pinch... I try to stay away from canned fruit and veggies because most of them have added sugar or sodium. I eat…

I didn't sign up as I am brand new to cross fit and haven't even been doing it for a month yet, but we all did the 13.1 WOD today (2 girls competed, the rest of us were there for the pain) And I gotta say it was pretty awesome! I did 119 reps. My legs are hurting but I did it!! It was kinda cool to know that all over,…

You're barely 8 weeks in... and I can almost guarantee you that your maintenance is not 1500... It's a lifestyle change... for lifetime results, so give it time and keep your chin up girl! :flowerforyou:

Go to jog.fm and put in your mile pace, it will come up will all kinds of songs that are the right BPM... I love it!

Good going! I just got mine a few days ago... was gonna go measure it for you but I see others have done so. :-) Good luck!

If I was a dude, maybe :-) LOL

My arms feel bruised.... damn crossfit.

I think my IG name is Skeena4, I follow TONS of people who post their meals so check out my profile. :-)

Don't worry about it - it's done - it's over, grab a water, brush your teeth and start again. There are 2 analogies someone gave me: If you dropped your cell phone on the ground you wouldn't keep smashing it on the ground till it's broken would you? Or if you ran a red light, you wouldn't run every red light for the rest…

Unwind by Neal Shusterman! SOOOO GOOD!

I haven't read this one yet... although it surfaces on my kobo from time to time... I just finished Unwind, by Neal Shusterman - OMG... it's a trilogy and I can't read the next one yet because I don't think I'm emotionally ready - LOL!!!! Now just plundering my way through a chick book to take a break...

YES!!! ^^^^^

I'm an only child and don't feel like i missed anything at all... never once did it occur to me that I didn't have anything or was alone etc. I came from the era of playing outside till dusk, drinking from the garden hose, building forts, jump rope etc.... none of this TV, video games, computer, internet. My mom wouldn't…

He sounds super insecure and hurtful. I'm sorry you have ot hear that, but please don't put any thought to his words. He knows you're going to rock this out of the park and to cover up being scared and inferior, he has become a complete and utter jacka$$.

I put a sliced banana, half scoop of vanilla protein powder and a tbsp of light peanut butter. I'm seriously full till the afternoon.

Anything full of carby deliciousness, popcorn, crackers, chips.... mmmm... (drool) :-)
