Healing the PF

HEALING THE PF( Plantar Fascittis)I have been eating bad and healing well, Lets see I bought Kuru shoes, a foot stretcher and the night splint, couple of straps for stretching.The foot stretcher is awesome you stand on it and it legs you rock the heel all the way to the floor. awesome calf stretch!The Kurus are wild like a sneaker with special heel cups that go down instead of flattening out , feet feel great , need another pair for home.Night splint is weird i put it on it pulls the foot up slightly, keeps it in tension, I can only take about 3 hours , maybe 3 1/2 last night. So i feel ready to go running and hiking, but i plan to keep it lite until the end of March, maybe some easy local hikes and a little more snowshoeing!Working probably 70 hours per week...

More from my Crossfit Fanatic!

I have to do another post because I am sooooo freaking excited!!! Even though I haven't seen any significant change on the scale in since probably October, I decided to try on some clothes that were way too tight for me in January, and they fit perfectly now!! I am slowly changing out my closet and replacing all my new clothes with all my old clothes. There are a couple more things that are still too tight, but once I can fit into them, it's shopping time!

How stress affect your weight Part 1

Part I: How Stress Affects Your Weight By Hallie Freedman It’s a known fact that stress is a big factor in packing on the pounds. After a recent conversation with a new friend on Facebook I realized that many people do not know why stress contributes to their weight gain, they just know it does. One reason is a result of a stress hormone, Cortisol. When our bodies undergo stress we experience a fight or flight response, which releases a variety of hormones. Regardless of what is causing our stress, our body has a similar experience. For example, your body cannot differentiate between office-based work stress and actual danger. Our body...

Freakin killed it -Cross-fit is contagious!

Good friend of mine wrote this! I'm pretty sure I just had the best workout of my life today. I worked out with these freakin elite athletes that were doing some crazy Navy Seals 2-hour workout. I hung in for about 2/3 of it! And when I was done w/ what I could do, I practiced rope climbing and freakin killed it!The workout:Warm-up: 3 Rounds of 20 kettlebell swings, 25 air squats, 15 push-ups (I was tired after this!)Phase 1: run 800 m before and another 800 m at the end of the rounds, 3 Rounds of 50 mountain climbers (That's 1,2,3,1, 1,2,3,2, etc, so really like 200 mountain climbers--crazy), 25 burpies, and 3 rope climbs. Instead of 3 rope climbs I did 9 modified climbs which is starting lying flat on the floor and using your legs and arms to pull yourself up to standing. These...
