Hey Everyone!

Hope the training is going well!

I am finally back on Darebee and raring to get back to the full fitness fanatics! Firstly I was to say I missed you all and hope that the pandemic has been kind to you; in July I unfortunately caught it and was out of commission for a month. But it only made me stronger and more determined to get fitter. I no longer drink caffeine thanks to the headaches of *You Know What* I managed to cut the withdrawals of caffeine and now only drink Green & Decaf Tea, but unfortunately sugary treats are still the bane of my existence...

I have taken a step back from Crossfit, but are still working on brand new things; I've taken up to regular gym (saving me so much on membership and petrol, its literally down the road from me hehe). I've taken the skills I have learned from Crossfit and incorporating them into my regular gym life :) Will be very exciting. Here are my Goals for this year:

- Complete a Karen
- Complete a Fran
- Complete a Grettel
- Complete a Annie

At the moment I am performing them like an EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) and taking 5 seconds off each month and also using a 20kg weighted vest so by the end of the year I should be able to complete these Crossfit Benchmarks with a good time.

Hey everyone! Hope the training's going well! Tried out the Open 23.2 and I have to say I really enjoyed myself it was tough but a fun workout, especially the 1 rep max Thruster (now we know they no longer be in it but my guess is next week will be a dumbbell workout).

Hey everyone!

Hope the training is going ok, better than mine I hope!

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances and no one wanting to volunteer their time to help it come with a very heavy and frustration heart that my event has been cancelled. Oh well thats 4 months of my hard work I can't get back. But it doesn't mean I'm not still donating money we are currently at £500 and have till Mid June to get more.

I'm still training though doing the Karen, Fran and Grettel have been really aiding I'm my regular training and will probably incorporate into it :)
