Here I am, somehow months behind, but somehow still wanting to come back! I put so much pressure on myself to blog & then it begins to feel like a chore & I end up just skipping it all together. I do most of the social media work for the gym as well….so maybe there's little left in me to blog after that!?
I should really figure out how to get over all of that, though! It's all pressure from myself. So silly, really! What the heck!?
And I really don't know where to go from here…most likely a few picture dump/catch up posts?? That way I don't feel like I completely skipped Christmas, New Years & January in general? Haha
Here's a short recap of January & I'll be back later this week to
We celebrated NYE with 2 other couples! We went to Napa on Providence (very good!) & then to Bradshaw Social House (our neighborhood favorite!)! Our friend Lauren is preggo so we had a built in DD ;)

The first weekend in January we hosted Fight for Fitness as part of the Greater Charlotte Health & Fitness Expo! It was a long, but great day!! We got to meet lots of CrossFitters from around Charlotte, give back to a local charity & show tons of people that CrossFit can be for anyone!
If you haven't noticed, it's been super chilly this winter!! At least for most of the country! We don't use our heat at the gym so there have been many a cold day at the box! I wear lots & lots of layers, sometimes my ski pants, and more layers. I'm SO ready for warm weather! I can't wait to sweat ;)

This spunky nephew of mine turned 4!! 4!?! He was just born, I swear.
We attempted to go to our 1st Panther's game of the season! I say attempted because we failed miserably at going. This was the 2nd round of the playoffs & tickets were stupid expensive! I was very sad about that on the way home, but it turned out we didn't do so hot & B made the most delicious bacon sliders while I snuggled white thing & watched the game from the couch. Not too shabby after all!
We spruced up our downstairs half bathroom with some floating shelves we got for Christmas! I just love our little Westie figurine from B's mom!! I think it's the cutest thing & goes so nicely with the bouquet from my bridal portraits!
We hosted an "After Holiday Party" for all of our CrossFit Pineville peeps that night. Sadly, I didn't take a single picture! Too busy enjoying everyone's company outside of the gym & in regular clothes & makeup! Ha
I've told a couple people lately, and I think it's true with the CrossFit community in general, but there are so many people at our gym that, otherwise, I most likely would have never met in my life. We're different for different reasons, but CrossFit made our paths cross & I've gotten to know them. Really, I'm so glad to have met these people because I just love them! It's such a joy to know them & I truly look forward to seeing these people every day!!
Brandon & I competed in War of the WODs the last weekend in January! We both competed individually, a first for both of us, B in RX Men & I did Scaled Women. I was definitely nervous, but it was such a fun day!! We each did 4 workouts that day & boy was it exhausting!
I finished 18th out of 30! I was pretty happy with that, as I landed out of the bottom 10, but really I had no expectations & just didn't want to come in last! Haha! I did take 7th place in one of the workouts & I PR'd my hang clean at 120 lbs (the top pic)! That is my body weight so I was excited :)
Brandon finished in 6th place overall out of 40 men!!! Isn't that awesome!?! The top 5 went to the final WOD so he just missed it! I'm so, so proud of him! He took 2nd & 5th place in 2 of the events that day!
B's been traveling a lot for work, which is a little stressful knowing how much he wants to be at the box! Right now we're just putting our head down & doing a good work!
This guy is my snuggle bug & I just love him to pieces!! We snuggled up tight during the snow last week!
Phew, ok, January recapped! Hopefully I'll have Christmas recapped sometime soon…maybe before Valentine's!? ;)
[ Smiles ] Hey, don't be too hard on yourself where blogging is concerned; I think that you are doing rather well in that area.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with you!! I wish I had the strength/ability to do that!! I'm having a hard time getting the last 3 pounds off from pregnancy...ughh! But glad you are back to blogging :)
ReplyDeleteYay for more blogging!! It seems a lot of people have fallen off but are making an attempt to come back. I really try and keep up with mine for none other than to keep a journal/online scrapbook to look back at. I know Shelby will enjoy it one day :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up with it girl! I love hearing what you guys have been up to!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you blogged :) But man, I feel you. Whenever it starts to feel like a chore, I know it's time for a break. I think all the pressure is in my head.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing you last weekend!!!
