I don’t think my desire of fitness and exercise is particularly a big secret.
To me, staying fit is an essential part of my lifestyle. This is why I’m involved with the UnderArmour #IWill/#WhatsBeautiful campaign, see my direct Under Armour profile page. I don’t think I can be complete without exercising a few times a week.
This week I received an Under Armour surprise thanks to the #WhatsBeautiful campaign and sponsorship with me being a FitFluential Ambassador. Here I am sporting the tank and the pink sneaks that was sent to me for free. Totally my style, love what they picked!
Let’s do this ladies. Go after your goals!
Take a rest day when needed, and lace up and give’r on the other days.
As much as I love working out and working on my weaknesses — I course love my rest days like anyone else. Something about a bit of rest makes me feel stronger, faster, and better the next time I do a CrossFit wod, a run, or go for a climb.Â
I’m pretty proud to announce that on Wednesday I achieved a 100lb Power Clean at CrossFit and did it three times in a row.
We were given a 15 minute time limit to do 5 sets of 3. Well, I ended up doing it 7 times because I kept going up in weight, and surprised myself. So now? I have no idea what my PR is, since we ran out of time. I feel like a powerhouse, who never gave up.
Thank you Under Armour, and FitFluential, for allowing me to be part of this motivating worldwide team. My favorite way to work out, as you already probably know is going to CrossFit and bouldering at the local climbing gym. A proper balanced diet, mixed with some candy and McDonalds here and there is how I’m keeping things real. How I keep myself fit, healthy and happy.

As for my workout goals? I had planned on putting down getting double unders — but I achieved that when I did my paleo challenge in April/May. I’m now up to getting 27 in a row without failing. C’mon 30! But my goal now, is to be the healthiest me I can. To have fun, and enjoy food, friends and fitness. Indulging once in a while never hurt anyone.
I also want to get better at doing pushups with my elbows IN, and off my toes. I’m pretty speedy at doing pushups like this when I have to do a ton of burpees, but doing a few pushups in a row? Hard, even after my 50 day push up challenge.
It never gets easier. You just get better.
How about you guys? Do you work out on a regular basis? Do you CrossFit, or climb or all of the above?
Do you ever make goals for yourself? They can be mental, emotional or physical.Â

Really well written article. Love the photos of you in your new items from Under Armour and the great use of text in the photos. Also like that Under Armour uses the Canadian spelling of Armour. hehehe. The bright colours look great on you. You’re a great motivator for all your blogger friends and an exceptional ambassador for Under Armour and FitFluential.
Congrats on already achieving your first goal. You rock! Thanks again for including me in your post.
Beautiful pictures! And good luck with your campaign.

That is SO COOL that you’re a Fit Fluential ambassador! And um, the shoes and tank they sent you? AWESOME!! I’d rock those as well, good pick on their part!
You look so fit, Nancy!! And your push-up position is inspiring. I like your quote, ‘It never gets easier, you just get better’; I never thought of it that way, well said!

Great photos, girl! I appreciate the link love, too.
I find it hard to set goals because once I do, I get scared I won’t make it and I’ll fail. lol. MAJOR fear of failure, here. But I force myself to do it anyway and I’m making progress.
Tomorrow I’m actually stepping way outside my comfort zone and auditioning for a music worship team.

@A.Co: I know I’m so surprised they sent so much stuff! I feel super blessed for being a FFA!
@Running Hutch: Good luck tomorrow. I know, my goals make me have this fear of not wanting to fail. I’m so hard on myself.
@Linz @ Itz Linz: Isn’t UA great??? :)
Great pictures. And I love the pink! Beautiful. My goal is to run faster, and complete my next half marathon in under 2 hours (for the first time since I turned 50).

I just started doing a bootcamp 8 weeks ago after doing nothing but running for years. It’s amazing how much stronger I feel!
