Exactly 30 days ago I was sitting at the Cheesecake Factory with my friend enjoying a delicious cheat meal complete with margaritas, when my phone went off. My lovely cousin and tremendous supporter had messaged me about a challenge her gym was doing–30 burpees a day for 30 days.

Being fat is hard
I just have to let this out there, so bear with me. Being fat is hard. As a person who has lived being fat her whole life, I can personally attest. Being fat is in its own category.

What it’s really like waking up for 6 am CrossFit.
People ask me all the time how I wake up ever morning during the week to go to CrossFit–(ok I snooze until at least 5:15.) I respond usually with I’m used to it or it doesn’t brother me.

Yesteday I met fran..
So yesterday was a big Crossfit milestone for me. I completed my first ever Fran (scaled). Now if you’re not a Crossfiter, than you probably are wondering what that means and why it’s significant.
