YOUR success stories
I'd like to hear from people that have successfully overcame a binge. What unique thing did you do that made you stop in your tracks, regain control and put down the food? I know there are tons of things out there that they say you 'should' do to stop a binge, and obviously avoiding them in the first place is the ultimate…

Help with handstands
I wanna be able to do a handstand but not sure what the trick is to maintain that balance point. I practice in my room against a wall but as soon as I take my feet away I can only stay up for a few more seconds... Any one have any pointers for me?

Thank you Crossfit!!
So I set out on this crazy adventure this weekend: With pretty much no prior experience, my BF and I and another couple set out in the bush on a two day kayak / canoe trip (Me and my BF were in kayaks, the other two were in a canoe). We had no idea what we were getting into. It was a lot tougher than I thought and the…

Ball Rage
I posted this in one of my comments after doing a wall-ball WOD, but it seemed to go unnoticed so thought I would put it out here! Does anyone else get really angry at the ball when they are doing wall-balls? I don't have a lot of experience doing them (have only had them in 2-3 WOD's so far), but when I am done I just…

Does it happen to all crossfitters?
I tore my hand up pretty bad last night doing kips...well trying to do kips. I'm still pretty newbite and can only do about 5 in a row, but I did 6 sets of 5 + deadlifts + stationary rowing... I read the other posts about calluses, how to care for them and how to treat ripped up hands and also about prevention so I'm all…

Canadian having an ethical dilemma - should I go Vegan?
I've been reading and watching a lot of shows about the ethical treatment of farm animals and what goes into our food and how it is affecting our health. All of these shows are about the standards in the US though (Vegucated, Food Inc., etc ...). I've always been told that "it's not like that in Canada" whenever the topic…

Alcohol
This is more of rant than anything else I guess, but why is it that people INSIST that I MUST have a drink in my hands at all times when I'm out at a social events? I've started telling people that I just don't drink, but it doesn't go over well with my long term friends as they have seen me drink in the past and know that…

How do I say "NO"?
The holiday season is here and there are a lot of luncheons, cookies, baking and social activities that revolve around eating junk food. My will power to avoid these kinds of foods has gotten quite good, and I don't even crave them as much anymore. Not to say I don't treat myself everynow and then cause I do allow myself…

Knee injury? How did you treat it?
Hi! I've had pain in my knee right at the base of my kneecap for about a year now. My physiotherapist said it's tendonitis and has been treating me for that (giving me exercises, ultrasound, tissue massage etc ... ). I have been seeing him for 2 months now, I'm exercising all the time to build up strength in my legs, hips…

Craving cookies, muffins and pastries...
Does anyone have any tips on dealing with cravings for sweets? I used to eat probably about 1 muffin or cookie per day from coffee shops like startbucks, tim hortons etc... It was a morning ritual to have this with my coffee. I haven't done this in over a month now but I am so close to breaking down. Sometimes on days like…
