Apps and Activity Tracking
I'm very much a numbers person and love gadgets. I currently have a Polar H7 heart rate monitor chest strap and an Apple Watch. I know WOD's and other workouts are hard to monitor unless its running or cycling, but doesn't make me any less interested in tracking. I want to chart out my heart rate but also get a guessimate…

Name a Way of Eating
Now we often hear the newest fad to eating or the only way to lose weight. How about we share in an open and nonjudgmental way? Nearly everyday I hear of a new "way of eating" which I find incredibly intriguing. The diet that works is the one that is easiest to adhere to but not everyone works the same way. Some have to…

Muscle Tech Mission1 Bars
Are these the new clean protein bar? They seem to use the Isomalto-Oligoasaccharides that quest bars use to use. Anyone try one yet? Groupon has them at 24.99 for 12 pack. (That seems like the price to be, jeez) Would love to hear a review!

1st Time Jitters
I just need some encouragement. I'm exploding with excitement and nervousness. I signed up last Saturday on a whim for my first competition THIS Saturday. I only started Crossfit in July. I fear that I'm going to screw up a movement and totally blow it. My partner is someone I just met on Saturday and only know a little…

Night before competition.
Curious to hear what other people do the night before competitions. I've done races and they all ended well but this time I'm competing in a Crossfit competition. This last week I've been eating mostly whole foods with some exceptions. Now I'm trying to figure what to do for tonight. I'm not a huge pasta fan. Do I go off…

App for Heart Rate monitoring
I have a Polar H7 and trying to use it for calories burned. I wish to use it for interval training and daily wear to track a day as well. The Polar app seems poor for interval training and the RunKeeper is poor for calories burned. Anyone have app suggestions for IOS?

The last 100-200 calories
There have been some days that I have 100-200 calories left in the day. I am content at that for the day but I never want to waste a calorie so I forge for the remaining amount only to find my hunger is jump started! Its probably because the food I go for is usually a dessert/treat and then I crave sugars. Anyone else…

Crossfit enough?
So I started my first On-ramp class today. A lot of it was prepping what to expect (i.e. Soreness). The workout we did was an AMRAP for 7min. This seems short and felt like I needed to do more once I got home. Now I put in a lot of effort to the run but curious to know if others add to their workout. Is this just On-ramp…

Starting Crossfit
So I've started an On-ramp class for crossfit in my local area. I'm am curious to know if people do other exercises beyond the WOD at their box. Our first class was a lot of prep of course but the actual workout was only a 7min AMRAP. Is it short because its on-ramp? I was 1st female and 2nd overall to do as many rounds so…
