Crossfit 90 Day Challenge — Day 23

Last updated on: August 22, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Rebecca Frech

As hard as Friday was last week, today totally made up for it. There are two teenage boys in the same class that I attend. On the days that we do workouts for time, they blow right past me. They are done with their cool downs and chatting as they walk out the door before I’m even finished. But not today. Today I beat them by a minute. 10 rounds of:3front squats with weights5pull ups10 push-upsAnd 15 air squats It... Read more

A Texas Tradition

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 9:30 am By Rebecca Frech

For two weeks every April, parents in Texas go a little camera crazy. The bluebonnets begin blooming in mid-month and we know that they will all be gone by May. Fields of bright blue flowers under a gorgeous sunny sky make for the iconic Texas images of springtime. This morning after Mass, we found the perfect spot. The sun was already bright, but that didn’t matter. This is Texas, and the sun is always bright this time of year. I... Read more

CrossFit 90 Day Challenge — Day 19

Last updated on: August 22, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Rebecca Frech

My shoulders sound like Rice Crispies when I put my arms above my head. There is no pain, but the crackling and popping is disconcerting. Most days I feel younger than I really am. The noise in my shoulder is making me feel old. I came home from the gym today completely exhausted. That’s not normal. Working out usually peps me up. Today I want to go back to bed. Sorry today isn’t more fun. I’m old, creaky, and tired... Read more

Crossfit 90 Day Challenge — Day 17

Last updated on: August 22, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Rebecca Frech

**I’m blogging about the 90 day challenge for my gym, WTFCrossFit. If you’re in the area, check us out!** Today almost killed me. I thought that Burpees were the ultimate evil, and then I met sprawls. It’s the bounce at the end that nearly did me in. And the fact that I did 120 of them. 120! That’s a lot. My knees have been hurting this week. I know it’s because my thigh muscles are tight and pulling on my... Read more

Homeschool Monday on a Tuesday – Finding Subs

Last updated on: August 22, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Rebecca Frech

I was sick yesterday. Ugly food poisoning sick. I may never eat Mexican food again. It was that ugly. That’s why we’re Homeschool Monday-ing on a Tuesday. Yesterday morning, as I curled up on the couch under my snuggly blankie (You know you have one too), I started making my calls. “I’m sick,” I told one of my homeschooling friends. “I need a sub today. #2 has a paper due later this week and needs his rough draft proofed.” “Have...

**I’m blogging about the 90 day challenge for my gym, WTFCrossFit. If you’re in the area, check us out!** I’m an addict. I’ll admit it now. I’m completely addicted to CrossFit. I got food poisoning over this weekend at a family wedding. I woke up at 2 a.m. completely nauseous and my first almost-awake thought was, “Nauseous? I can’t be pregnant…that would mean I can’t go to the gym.” When my lower stomach clenched and churned a few seconds later,... Read more

It’s Going on My Resume

Last updated on: August 22, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Rebecca Frech

I was standing in the grocery store check-out line on Friday when I looked up and recognized one of the nurses from my GYN’s office. I could tell that while I looked familiar to her, she couldn’t figure out quite who I was. I guess I look different when my feet aren’t in the stirrups. After a few minutes of small talk where she tried to place me, she finally asked if I was one of their patients. “Yes, I... Read more

**I’m blogging about the 90 day challenge for my gym, WTFCrossFit. If you’re in the area, check us out!** We did back squats today up to our personal maximum. One rep at the most you can lift. I love this kind of thing. I like the feeling of adding more weight and then more weight to see just what my body is capable of doing. This is me lifting 100 pounds I maxed out at 135 which means that I... Read more

It’s Time for a Giveaway!!!

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 9:31 am By Rebecca Frech

Last week, a long time reader, Karen, wrote to tell me that she was a new rep for Lilla Rose hair accessories. Since I had spent 30 days banishing the ponytail and Dumping the Frump, I seemed like a good person to try her hair things and to host a GIVE-AWAY! If you’ve been reading here for any length of time, you know how much I like to give things away. I looked through the online catalog and fell in... Read more
