Good morning. I am 18 weeks pregnant and am continuing with my crossfit routine during my pregnancy. I wanted to reach out to other crossfit moms out there and support one another.

CrossFit Work Outs (WODs) Requiring Little to No Equipment
Several of my friends have requested a list of work outs that I do while traveling and that others can do outside of a box (the crossfit term for a gym). It is possible to do most any CrossFit type work out in a traditional gym, you just have to adjust your mindset. For those who don't know what crossfit its:…

Spring 2013 Whole Life Challenge

3 Months of CrossFit (with comparison pics)
When I took my monthly progress pictures and measurements, I noted three things: 1. I'm bikini ready 50 days before I have to be for the Cayman Islands! 2. I'm super happy about the cellulite vanishing from my *kitten*. Perhaps, this should be #1. I've always just accepted the fact that I would have cellulite---Nope, not…

competition-- pull up issues
I'm doing a team crossfit competition on Saturday that requires me to do 20 pull ups as part of the third WOD or my whole team gets a DNF. I've been working on pull ups for months but I still have to use a skinny (1/2") band to assist me. When kipping, I can't get myself up high enough (about top of head just about to bar)…

Critique my snatch, please
Snatch is another movement in the competition I'm doing on Saturday. I've got my back alignment issues resolved but I think my pull is awkward. Does anyone have any constructive criticism for me? http://youtu.be/BCe1Ec7EHas Thanks in advance! ~cass

Strength Training and Calories
So I've been playing with the numbers here, on fat to fit radio, and on freedieting.com and i'm overwhelmed. I've been zig-zagging my calories from 1450-2000 calories a day including exercise since April (MFP is set to 1570 per day with exercise added to that). I'm 5' 7" and I generally run 3x a week (20ish miles total).…
