Two weeks ago, I participated in the 2013 DC Ragnar Relay Race. (Two weeks already? Sheesh, where’d the time go?) If you’ve never heard of Ragnar, it’s a 12 person, 200 mile relay race. The race began Friday morning, with runner 1 running the first leg, then handing off a baton (slap bracelet) to...
Sorry I haven’t gotten a menu plan together or done much posting lately. I’ve been preparing for, and then recovering from, my first ever Crossfit competition. I participated in Cold War 2 – a competition put on by Crossfit Liberation. I was on one of three teams from my box. Our four person team, aka “Rubicon...

So, as I’ve mentioned quite a few times here on the blog, I participated in a “Performance Nutrition Challenge” at our Crossfit gym box. Back in January, I and others, paid $60 to participate, and then spent two months training hard and eating clean. “Paleo” or a “caveman diet” is the most common description...

On Tuesday, Adam turned 4. When I had asked him who he wanted to invite to the party, he promptly named four boys in his preschool class. I pressed to see if he wanted anyone else, maybe some of the girls, but he said, “No, no girls. They’re not my friends. Just the boys.”...
You may or may not remember, but back in November, I started working out at my husband’s Crossfit gym box. I had been out of shape, getting fatter and frustrated with myself for not doing anything about it. Initially, I found the workouts and the whole concept super-intimidating, but it didn’t last long, and...
I enjoyed a lovely low key birthday weekend. On Friday, my beloved planned out and prepared a delicious steak and shrimp birthday dinner and made homemade tiramisu cupcakes. Yum! I received a cupcake with two candles, because, according to the pastry chef, “that’s how many years less than 40 you are”. Adam thought it...
We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend. She is such a delightful girl. It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything. Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch. We’ve done some...
