Living the Gray Life

A Fitness & Lifestyle Blog

About Me

Img 7794

Hi, hello, welcome!

This here blog was started back in June 2015 as a way for me to document my college experience. I was a recent high school grad about to take on ‘the best four years of my life’ in a whole new city. What better way to document it than to put it on the Internet, right?

For the first year and a half, this blog was strictly college lifestyle. We’re talking college note taking tips, my first college football game experience, and all that jazzy stuff.

And then something happened. I found fitness, and I finally felt like my life had a purpose. The second half of 2016 was me trying to figure out this world of fitness and how to incorporate it into the blog. After all, a blog is supposed to reflect who you are and what you love.

In January 2017, I took the plunge and decided to dive head first into the world of fitness blogging. I want to show college students that it is possible to be in the best shape of your life, have a body you love, and balance it all with college adventures. Fitness transformed my life, and I want to transform other’s lives.

Fitness is my life. Doughnuts are my weakness. Cats are my favorite. Coffee is an addiction. 

If you’re looking for fitness advice, please reach out to me! I love helping people in any way I can, especially when it involves probably my most favorite subject ever aka fitness. Check out my contact page or email me directly at hello@livingthegraylife.com.

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and Iโ€™ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and weโ€™re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! Itโ€™s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ

I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my โ€œMemoriesโ€ was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
