Middle of my 3rd month of CrossFit and I haven’t lost weight, and I can’t really see any change yet. I’m able to increase weight (dumbbells, etc), and I’m not quite as sore as I used to be on the daily, so there’s some pluses. Trying not to be discouraged, I know this takes time, but c’mon man….

Quantum Leap

To whom it may concern, I wanted to take a moment to explain my recent decision to unsubscribe from the Ball State Foundation emails. It’s a choice I make with a heavy heart. I am deeply saddened by the current climate in our country, where leadership pressures educational institutions to choose between maintaining their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and facing potential funding repercussions. I had been encouraged… [read more]
