How did you get started with CrossFit?
We’ll take it back a little bit. During 2014 - 2015, I went through some hardships to say the least. From health problems, to the murder of my best friend, to losing my career as a firefighter, and so on. I was “in the thick of it,” as some say. I sunk into a deep depression that just felt like it was never ending and never getting better. In that time I went from 180ish pounds to 250 pounds.
When 2016 rolled around, my husband and I moved to Tennessee, due to the military. I looked at it as a fresh start. A way to reinvent myself.
And I did just that.
I passed CrossFit Ergon every day when driving to and from work at a coffee shop. So when April 26th, 2016 came around, I walked in and my life changed, to say the least. In June 2017, I went and passed my CrossFit Level 1 Certification and became a CrossFit Coach, which is still crazy to me!
Where does your motivation come from?
I won’t lie, it comes from a dark place. I think of who I used to be. How I used to feel about myself. On a daily basis, I run so far away from that feeling. And that is when I feel successful. When I don’t even recognize that person.
When I’m in the middle of a WOD and I want to quit, I tell myself, “It’s mental Abbey, it’s all mental!” I then take a deep breath and get it done.
My motivation these days also comes from knowing that others are watching. Others are looking up to me. I need to make them proud as well as myself.
What's your typical training week look like?
I train 6 days a week usually. My main love is weightlifting, but after becoming a CrossFit coach, I needed to focus more on CrossFit as well.
Currently I’m training up for a competition so I’ve been doing Invictus Competition Prep, in addition to Outlaw Barbell.
I train for 2-4 hours a day.
How have you built mental toughness, and how do you apply it during training?
Trial and error. Really figuring out what works for me through trials and tribulations. It has been a journey, that’s for sure.
Fitness is not an upward slope, it bounces up and down. I'm constantly figuring out how to be resilient and keep pushing forward. It goes back to remembering where I came from and running towards that feeling of success.
What are your 3 favorite movements?
- Heavy Snatches
- Power Cleans
- Rowing
How did your diet change after you started CrossFit?
About a month after starting CrossFit, someone told me about tracking my daily calories and macronutrient split. And I never looked back. It’s the success behind my 65 pounds of weight loss. I eat about 2100 calories a day.
Where do you train and what have you gained from your CrossFit community?
I train at CrossFit Ergon in Clarksville, Tennessee.
I gained a sense of belonging.
I gained a friend group.
I learned what it truly meant to surround yourself with like-minded people.
I look forward to going to work every day, to seeing everyone, and to pushing everyone to the limits they never knew they had.
I'm still not a firefighter and it leaves a big hole in my heart. Beyond firefighting, I had never found something I was as passionate about. But when I found CrossFit, that hole was filled a little more. Now that I’m an athlete, I know I’m ready at a moment’s notice to test for a fire department and pass the physical agility test.
How has CrossFit changed your life?
It has pushed me to become the person I always dreamt of being. I wake up every day, in love with myself again. Something I never thought I could do again.
It has given me a confidence I always wanted. It has opened up so many doors, possibilities, and friendships.
What advice would you give someone new to CrossFit?
I would tell them to dive in headfirst. That everything you’re afraid of, you're about to face. Life is never going to let up! And here, here is where you’re going to learn to push back.
CrossFit is a place where you can find yourself, your true self. If you stay with it, you will impress yourself. You have my word.
What are your future plans?
To be better than who I was yesterday.

Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to deal with scams. As a wedding planner in Brisbane, I was organizing a couple’s dream wedding when I paid AUD 12,000 to a vendor for decorations and catering. The vendor seemed legitimate, and everything appeared to be in order. But as the wedding date approached, the vendor disappeared. The website went offline, and the phone number was disconnected. Panicked and unsure of what to do, I reached out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. I provided them with all the details: the fake website, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. Their team was incredibly supportive and reassured me that they would do everything possible to recover the funds. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. They quickly identified the offshore account where the money had been transferred and started working with international authorities to freeze the account. The process was detailed, involving collaboration with law enforcement agencies across borders. Despite the challenges, Digital Tech Guard Recovery worked tirelessly, keeping me informed every step of the way. Within a few weeks, they successfully managed to return the AUD 12,000. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only had I avoided a financial loss, but I also regained the trust that I had lost in the industry. Digital Tech Guard Recovery didn’t just recover my money they saved the wedding and helped restore my faith in my profession. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to find a legitimate vendor and ensure that the wedding went off without a hitch. The couple’s special day was preserved, and I was able to continue my work as a wedding planner with confidence. Digital Tech Guard Recovery’s dedication and expertise made all the difference, and I will forever be grateful for their help in turning a nightmare situation into a success. Their service was not just about recovering funds it was about safeguarding a dream.
Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.

Relationships can indeed be very fragile and sensitive in nature. The slightest movement of straying or cheating, even if that seems inconsequential to shatter the relation that was developed over months and years of shared moments or mutual trust. From the ease with which it has been in our modern times, ample opportunities and cheating on someone one loves or actually cares about have abounded, waiting for us online and offline, through various forms. Probably because of these, I am never really surprised whenever most people who mean serious business get down to wanting to spy on partners whom they suspect could be cheating on them. If you have ever been in this kind of dire need, then you would know quite vividly how hard it can be. Indeed, it truly is a tough task to pull through. But let me let you in on what I later learned: it actually is much easier than you would otherwise think, especially if one should chance upon the right kind of tech-savviness to help out. Regarding finding the right techie, I endow you with the utmost urge to communicate with the geniuses at Web Bailiff Contractor.
