Social Workout

PLAYING WITH MY BIKES

Last night I wore my Social Workout tee for the first time, and documented the epic experience in all of its glory.  Yes, it was super soft and comfy.  And cute.

EUROPE...HERE I COME!

So I'm flying to Europe on Wednesday for two weeks.  It's my first ever "real" vacation.  Heading to Paris for a friends wedding and then ditching everybody and backpacking by myself to the other spots.

I PR'ed my Deadlift Today...Suckas

3 months ago at the start of my Crossfit life, my one rep max of the deadlift was 205 lbs.

Today it was 220 lbs.

Holla.  Getting stronger by the second.

CONTEST: Throw Up or Not?

I'm predicting I will throw up in this evenings Crossfit workout.  My stomach has been feeling a little funny today after a few beers last night.

2 WEEKS: A PHOTO ESSAY

Social Workout'ers, I'm sorry.  I abandoned you suddenly and without notice.  I'm sure you were worried sick.  My precious laptop died about two weeks ago.  Thus, my iPhone has been my BFF to do everything and when I get to a computer, (sorry) Social Workout hasn't been my first click.  Shoutout to Prairie whom check in on me!

Adriana x Diabetes?

This morning I sat in the lobby of my doctors office for 2.5 hours.  I got to reflect on my health for 150 solid minutes.  A state of the union for the body, if you will.  Why was I randomly sitting in Dr. Leo's Beaverton, Oregon clinic lobby?  He thinks that I may be trending toward developing Diabetes.

Adriana's Feralicious Battle Wounds

This is a brief sampling of the injuries I sustained while participating in the FERAL challenge.  Truth be told - I love showing off my fitness battle scars to others.  It freaks them out but yet it makes me smile.  Something must be wrong with me.

An Athlete with Asthma, Part 1

Hi, my name is Adriana and I'm an athlete.  I also have been living with Asthma for 19 years, a lung disease which inflames and narrows airways in the body.  According to AAFA, about 20 million people in the US have the disease, and everyday 40K of these folks miss work or school.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

It's rare that I'm glued to a television show for a full hour.  I usually drift off, get sidetracked, change the channel - but not with this show. Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, which just ran its pilot episode is following celeb chef Jamie as he tries to change America's view on healthy and clean eating, starting with one of the most unhealthiest cities in the US and their schools!

Eating Clean

It hit me again today, the notion of clean eating and thinking of food as fuel.  I sound like a broken record after my last post about this, but it just keeps sinking in deeper and deeper.
