I know But it’s nice on those mornings when I’m in a rush and no time to cook. I’m not a big fan of eating meat in the morning so- eggs is getting boring.

Kim,

I have used a mix of both in the past! I LOVED dried, chopped apricots in my cereal, as well as raisins….HOWEVER, you got to be careful with dried fruit since it has a super high sugar content…so less is better

That is besides the obviously dried raisins and the frozen blue berries as you mentioned

I was JUST missing my cereal! Thanks! Did you use fresh fruit or dried?

Just found your blog, read this post, and i think i love you. I started CrossFit in November 2012, and can 110% appreciate everything you said. I can see how it is life-changing, life-affirming and body-changing. I love what my body allows me to do – body-weight back squats and deadlifts? thank you!! i love that there are so many challenges that I need to work on and face head-on (thrusters and snatches? ugh.) But i love walking into the box each time, and i love the exhausted, excited feeling i get once the wod is over.

Thank you for this post!

Wow, I just looked at the picture and she is absolutely gorgeous. Her level of fitness says that she has willpower and dedication. Plus, if any of these guys saw her in a skirt with her hair down, I’m sure they would be singing a much different tune.

This is quite possibly the most awesome comment ever left on my blog. Well done, madame, well done. I am so glad you left this perspective…that you got to see her specifically in person…and that she has such a warm heart I would love to pick her brain on how to be so badass, and how to further inspire others!

So funny story, I actually recently met Andrea at the wedding of her cousin and my close friend. I thought I recognized her from your post! True story, I stared at her constantly. Enough to make my husband question my manners.
She is GORG, like stop and stare gorg (obviously). Independent of that, she has a legit WOMANLY BANGIN body. Hence the staring…but more…she has a GYNORMOUS heart. I only talked to her for 20 mins total but I was impressed by her overall ability to be in the moment and to share her love for her cousin and her new husband. While I understand that the post wasn’t about the size of her heart, I was disappointed to see that some of the commenters clearly overlooked the fact that she has one.
It doesn’t matter who you are, you have had the unfortunate experience of being harshly judged by how you look. Everyone can relate to that. EVERYONE. We all struggle with the way we look from time to time. I would hope that those past experiences would provide us, all of us, with some empathy–especially in such a public forum considering the context. She is strong, and she is clearly tough as nails. INFACT SHE IS BEAUTIFULLY STRONG-and I personally would take that over being “feminine or skinny or JUDGEMENTAL” any day.
Jen, this made me love your blog even more. Beautifully Strong is truly authentic and passionate. I WANT TO BE BEAUTIFULLY STRONG!!!!!
Also, I could listen to you evangelize all day PREACH IT SISTER! PREACH IT.

Andrea, if you read this, I would legit give my left pinky for your legs (your wonderfully curvy, beautifully long and womanly legs). I should’ve told you at the wedding
