My Addiction

Crossfit. Oh my goodnes, I can't get enough.  It's just amazing and so are the people that are involved.  Everyone is so nice, athletic, inspiring, and so much more.  I had the opportunity to be a judge for our box's competition today.  Battle of the Pike went down at Crossfit 717 today.

The athletes completed 4 different WODs (workouts).  Serious props to them because- oh my goodness- I'm exhausted just from judging and watching.  So as a judge I had to concentrate on the movements, technique, and reps.  Watching the athletes complete these WODs with such determination was such a huge inspiration for me, and it also helped me learn more about the movements that will hopefully transfer over to my WODs.  Anyways, if you've never heard of or seen a Crossfit workout... look them up.  It's addicting just to watch.  This is a fun one.

But here's a video I posted on my personal Instagram:


Also at the event was Anita Little Paleo, and oh my gosh those baked goods were GOOD! YUM.
Hella Life was also at the competition.  They have some sweet clothes.  You can see the tank I bought on Paleo Posts Instagram.  LOVE it :)

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about how fun the competition was.  I can't wait to start competing when I'm done playing soccer, it will be a perfect transition so I don't get sad about not playing soccer anymore.

until next time...stay balanced.

Meet a Libra


Hello there... welcome to my blog... it's new... and still in the works... but here's a little bit about why I'm here and who I am... you'll learn more later if you don't already know the real me.

I'm a libra and there's no doubt about it.  Born September 28th-yup, primetime Libra.  When I typed "libra" into Google these words were the descriptors for Libras like myself: "balanced, flirty, stylish, dreamy, affectionate, outgoing, indecisive, lazy, relationships". Yup that's me-totally dreamy.....    

I'm going to begin by telling you how these words describe me, but most importantly, how they will affect this blog, and in the end, how they will affect you (the reader).

Okay let's start (and end) with the most important: balance.  The sign of the Libra is the scales, which represent the balance we have within ourselves and within our lives.  Now, balance is such a hard thing to accomplish and I believe that I struggle with balance everyday and who knows when everything in my life will be balanced, but that's where this blog comes in.  It's going to help me, because I want to help you.  Now, I'm sure you're like... "what does that even mean?" BUT seriously... I hold my tongue as I talk to people or even my theoretical tongue when on social media when it comes to nutrition, exercise, daily lifestyle choices, thoughts, touchy subjects, etc.  because I don't want to offend anyone.  Therefore, this blog will help me get my thoughts out without offending anyone, because it's ultimately your choice whether or not you want to read this.  If there's something you don't agree with on here, then leave.  If you're here to stay, then good, because I'm excited to help you balance your life and maybe (hopefully) change some pieces of your lifestyle to help better the balance of your body and mind.  

I'm writing this blog to 1. help myself balance many aspects of my own life (all of which you don't need to know right now) and 2. help you  better yourselves as a living, breathing human.  Basically, I want you to know what's best for your health, your everyday life, and tons of other things; but the problem is, I can't always say these things without offending people- because guess what- I KNOW CHANGE IS HARD!! But we all have to deal with changes in our lives.   

I'd like to thank an anonymous person for suggesting this to me, because I'm really excited to help people and at the same time help myself!  So read on if you still want to be here! 

I don't know how often I'll be blogging, but it will probably be based on my daily thoughts, however, it may be lagged due to my busy schedule.  But, if I get enough feedback or encouragement or suggestions or questions or whatever it may be more often than anticipated. So here we go... welcome and I'm glad you're here to stay............ for now ;)

Also, if you ever have any questions, suggestions, etc. PLEASE email me (kpizzing@gmail.com), text me if you have my number, Facebook me (although I don't go on a lot), or comment on the blog! Because again, I'm here to help you.  And THANK YOU in advance because I know this will help me as well.





This is my boyfriend that I'm flirty with:
 
Just kidding, I would never date a libra- we aren't compatible with each other.
