Ladies, That Time of the Month?
So today, my college exams ended at 6:15pm and my Crossfit class was at 6:30pm. I was on my way there, but turns out they moved to a different location during my hiatus, so I spent a good hour trying to find it. Needless to say that I didn't find it and I missed class. So I decided to go to the Dollar Tree to have a melt…

The Impossible Back Squats
Back Squats, Deep Squats, Olympic Squats -- Whatever you wanna call them, I find them impossible to do. I can do regular squats and sumo squats no problem, but anything lower than that seems physically impossible :grumble: When I squat on the ground in general, it's always on my toes. My heels never touch the ground and…

Counting Calories vs Hitting Macros
If you had to pick between counting calories and hitting macros (carbs, protein, fats) which would you pick? In theory I would love to do both, but I find it almost impossible to do. I personally would pick macros only because I see more results, but the only problem is that I have to plan all my meals ahead of time which…
