Heyyyy y'all! It's been awhile since I have been on here, but life picked up the pace and has not slowed down one bit! I LOVE it!!!
First, I was asked to design/coordinate the Life AsRx (fitness apparel) Women's 2011 Spring Line which was such a blast and so exciting!! It was especially exciting every time a new shipment came in and I was able to see the finished product! I feel so incredibly honored to have been asked to take on this project and I had so much fun doing it! It will definitely be a memory for the books. Thanks to everyone at Life AsRx for entrusting me with such a task! I put some of my favorites below... Enjoy! :) Also, here is the link to the rest of this year's spring line and last year's line, too! http://lifeasrx.com/asrx/womens.html/
There are headbands now, too! Yay!
I am also in the middle of helping promote the Life AsRx US [CrossFit] Tour which has been super exciting and so has getting to see how awesome the first one in Orlando a few weeks ago turned out! The next 3 cities are Hartford, Dallas, and Chicago... Get ready!
Next, I was offered a coaching position at CrossFit Counter Culture in San Diego and I am absolutely loving it!! Coaching is a huge passion of mine and I am so humbled and feel so blessed and privileged to get to go do something I love with a passion everyday! I am honored to get to share my knowledge and strengths with others on a daily basis as much as I love learning from other coaches/athletes knowledge and strengths. I love helping people no matter what it is, but especially when it involves them reaching their goals. I love helping people do things they never imagined they could. I love watching people grow stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. I love cheering people on, especially when they have gone past the point of self doubt. I love helping and watching people dig deep to push through that pain, fear, fatigue, and fight through super tough physical and mental battles. So, yeah... I kinda like coaching if you couldn't tell. ;) It seriously excites me to the very core of who I am.

Another little project I've been working on are my Beach Boot Camps! I am finishing up the Spring Beach Boot Camp I have been holding on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA. We have been having SO much fun and the view ain't that bad either! It's not hard to go to "your happy place" when you're staring right at it! ;) I LOVE it! My 2 favorite things to do... Going to the beach and working out! Life doesn't get much better than that! If you live in or around North San Diego County/ Encinitas/ Cardiff-by-the-Sea/Carlsbad/etc. and you're interested in joining the next (kid-friendly) beach boot camp starting in July please feel free to contact me via email at zap@crossfitcounterculture.com or 281.840.3965 for more info! Also, check me out on Facebook and become a fan! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Encinitas-Ladies-Boot-Camp/131936850207682 I also offer ongoing personal training and group training if you or someone you know is desiring more of a one-on-one approach to fitness.
3...2...1... GO!
A few weeks ago I had the super awesome opportunity to fly to Florida alongside, Marcus, to meet with a group of staff members from the Hard Rock Cafe Headquarters who meet during their lunch break to work out. [I was able to fly my awesome mom to San Diego to stay with Rylee while I was away... Such a blessing! I have an absolutely awesome and beautiful mom! Thanks for flying all the way here and for being the best Mimi and Mom ever! I love you!] Annnd back to my story... We were able to spend some time coaching the Hard Rock HQ staff on basic movements and were able to share fitness tips, etc. with them. It was super cool and I even got to hold Bob Marley's guitar, so the trip was definitely worth it! hehe ;) After spending part of the week in Orlando we then traveled south to Miami where we took part in the Crossfit Sports Series- WOD-Sup (stand up paddle-boarding event)! It was such a blast, the weather was perfect, the water was beautiful, the people were great, and we partied like it was 1999! ;) When it was all over I got to spend a night with my best friend, Becca, in Fort Lauderdale, where she lives... It was wayyy over due! We ordered Chinese take-out and had a super relaxing girls' night in watching movies. It was perfect. Thanks for being so awesome, Becca! Love you! :)
This past weekend one of my best friends, Kristen, flew in to visit. What an awesome weekend we had!! Gosh, I miss you so much already, Kristen! She was such a good sport and was so brave to let me put her through her very first CrossFit workout! She did so awesome! The next day we drove up to LA and met up with some more Texas girls for a super fun girls' day and night! It was SO good to be around super awesome, super sweet friends! Such a blast!
In a couple days I will be leaving for Tacoma, Washington for Life AsRx (fitness apparel company) to work the CrossFit Regionals and a few days later will be headed to Houston for the same reason... Excitement is an understatement! I am SO incredibly thrilled to be getting the chance to be supporting such an awesome community of people and athletes alike! Yay! I am also super excited to be getting to go back home for a little while, too! Btw, Atomic CrossFit is who to look out for at the (Houston) Regionals!!! Woo!! :)
Well, until next time just remember what Rocky says...
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But, it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! -Rocky Balboa
