FITNESS OR PORN? WHO CARES!

YEP, SHE'S HALF NAKED…AND AMAZING. 
"YOU'RE TOO SKINNY"
" YOU'RE TOO FAT"
"YOU NEED A BIGGER BUM"
"YOU NEED A TIGHTER TUMMY"
"YOUR BOOBS ARE TOO SMALL"
"YOU JUST NEED TO LOSE 5 MORE POUNDS"
"20 MORE POUNDS OFF AND YOU'LL ALMOST BE PERFECT"
"YOU'RE GETTING WRINKLES"
"YOUR BOOBS ARE STARTING TO SAG"

JUST A FEW PHRASES WOMEN HEAR OR ARE GOING TO HEAR THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES. SO IF THEY DECIDE TO LOOK SEXY WHEN THEY TRAIN OR POST SEXY PICTURES, EVERYONE SHOULD JUST ENJOY IT;) HA! 


LIFT EACH OTHER UP RATHER THAN PUTTING EACH OTHER DOWN. THICK IS SEXY, SKINNY IS SEXY AND STRONG IS SEXY TOO.


IF THE WORD SEXY IS TOO "OFFENSIVE", REPLACE IT WITH BEAUTIFUL INSTEAD;)


CHEERS TO GETTING OFF THE COUCH AND BREAKING A SWEAT, WHETHER IT BE ON THE STAIRMASTER OR UNDER A BARBELL( HALF NAKED, OR NOT) :P


SO CUTE AND HAPPY
WHO'S COMPLAINING? (I THINK THAT'S STACIE TOVAR'S BUM )

Love Your Progress-Crossfit Chick Rules


7 TIPS ON BEING THE BAD ASS KITTY YOU ARE IN THE BOX:

1. Go hard in each wod and don't "save your energy" for the next rep. You will always be out of breath and it will always be painful--but you love it."

2. Don't be afraid to fail over and over again. You will never get better if you don't push yourself to your limit and that requires landing on the ground..on your ass...questioning yourself why you are doing this.

3. Eat healthy after you train. Don't waste your time getting your sweat on if you're going to "reward" yourself with a greasy meal right after. "Man, that wod was tough." "Mmm..this burger tastes so good" "FAIL."

4. Have fun because no one likes a bitchy Crossfitter. If you're going to get angry, take it out on the WOD. 

5. Love your progress and believe in your strength and training. If that bar looks heavy just breathe deep, growl and pick it up! Yes, I said growl. Aggressive gals get shit done and if you're not afraid of the bar, you're not even close to making the bar afraid of you (Camille Leblanc said something similar two years ago in an interview and it stuck with me ever since.)

6. Rest days are just as important as training days. You need to recover even if you don't want to. Being addicted to the WOD is not always a good thing so know your limits, take a break and watch some T.V.

7. Quit staring at the mirror and pick that shit up. Oh wait, there's no mirrors in Crossfit---another reason why you love it.

FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM "CROSSFITKITTY"

I post a lot of videos and pictures on Instagram since I have become too lazy to blog. I figured videos are more fun to watch and I don't have to write as much! LOL I miss blogging and I will start back up again!

LIFT BIG, STAY SMALL

It's been almost 4 weeks after doing a bikini competition and I feel great. I am lifting heavy, doing wods and still working on gymnastic skills! 
I need to step my squat game back up but other than that I am happy with my training. I squatted 90k for 4 singles yesterday which is great but I used to do that for 3 sets of 4 in August! DAMN IT!!!!....Must keep training.
I competed at 119lbs and I'm currently only 122lbs. I don't mind because I still feel strong and I like how my clothes fit:) I cleaned 74k a week after the bikini competition which was a huge pr and I can't wait to try it again soon! 
I have been eating pretty clean since my competition because I keep hearing about people rebound after competitions and I don' have time for that! I want to get stronger and stay lean so that I can still rock a little dress and pick up 300lbs.

CROSSFIT GIRL BIKINI SHOW RESULTS

The bikini show is over and I am doing crossfit wods again after 4 weeks of getting a "pump". lol I placed 5th and qualified for the Toronto Pro Supershow in June 2014. I love how I looked and what I represented on the stage: a fit, strong, healthy and lean body.

The last 2 weeks before my show were the toughest because I couldn't have any chocolate at all. I can't complain too much because there are many women who train months before a show and destroy their personal lives. I only had to prep for a few weeks because I train regularly and usually eat pretty healthy. Two weeks prior to the show is when I ate super clean and probably not enough because I wanted to be very lean. I am normally 125lbs and I dropped down to 119lbs for the show(dehydrated).   I felt super skinny but going into the show there were girls way tinier than me which was insane. I thought, " If I feel borderline "gross" skinny, I wonder how they feel?".  Anyway, being a Crossfitter, I didn't want to lose too much strength for this competition so I still focused on oly lifts, muscle ups, squats and deadlifts. I added a lot of bodybuilding movements and focused on certain muscle groups.

 Now that this competition is over, I can focus on hitting some PR's and getting stronger!
