Tips on Eating For Athletic Competitions using some Thrive Forward Principals!

May 22, 2013 By Kasey 7 Comments

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you’re enjoying your day. If you missed it, I recapped my first CrossFit Competition yesterday [here]! Reviewing that post motivates me to go to every workout (regardless if it’s CrossFit or hitting the gym for a lift) I get excited to take that step towards progress every day. With every athletic performance, I truly believe that FUELING your body properly is such an important factor in how well you will do. I would always tell my kids with student teaching, it’s like fueling a car. If you try to run your car on empty, what happens? BUT if you give … [Read more...]

Hi all! Hopefully you were able to turn some fears into positive thoughts yesterday! It’s something I plan to work on daily. Another thing I work on daily…eating a Base of kale, red onion, sweet potato, roasted brussels, sauerkraut & LIMA BEANS! Later topped with Creamy Tahini Nooch sauce.

Kettlebell Swings, Millet, iHerb Order, & Fill in the blank!

Hi all! So glad you enjoyed the Zucchini Power Brownie Fudge Bars! I promise you won’t regret making them. I tell ya, I could not wait to refuel with my #PowerbowlADay last night after this WOD. I got through 4 total rounds plus 20 burpees in 15 minutes. Talk about a cardio blaster! You may wonder what the (1.5-1) means, which is exactly what I was wondering the first time I did a CrossFit workout with Kettlebells. Here is the conversion; 1 pood =36 lbs; 1.5 pood = 54 lbs So for women, it was prescribed to use a 36lb kettlebell. Before CrossFit, I used to stick … [Read more...]

W is for…It’s not WHAT we do, it’s WHY we’re doing it.

February 23, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having an awesome weekend. So, I’m not going to lie, I originally had the coolest recipe & picture to share today for “W”. I’ve learned in life that not everything goes as planned, right? So, earlier this week I was deleting pictures from my iPhone to make room for the epic amounts I would be taking while I’m here in Boston! I tend to be a bit of a picture hoarder on my iPhone – for some reason I get nervous to delete some pictures EVEN THOUGH I already posted them to Instagram & on my blog! As I was deleting pictures, I accidently … [Read more...]
