Just minutes after a grueling Fight Gone Bad session, I could barely think about eating, much less actively putting a gluten-free, 93% lean ground turkey taco with low fat cheese into my mouth. But when my very favorite spectator insisted we try them, I got one, and told him “I don’t think I can eat…

Perfect Weekend: Fighting,Terror, Dancing, and Football
As usual, fall weekends are jam-packed. Four things I’m most excited about: 1) Mansion of Terror My fave haunted house from last season because it’s sort of scary but has funny twists (Danger: Hellaphant) is opening up this weekend! The Mansion of Terror is currently rated #1 in the country by Lionsgate Films and was…
UT Football. Or, how to tailgate on ESPN College Gameday.
My scout at 17th & Colorado says “Tailgating already: there are like 4 dudes out front of here drinking and tailgating.” It’s Friday, 9:14am, folks. Longhorn fans will once again have the opportunity to be a part of the ESPN College GameDay experience, as the show is set to cover the team for the fourth…
Massage for the Cure
Last minute notice, but Massage Envy’s Massage for the Cure is TODAY. At any Austin massage Envy, you can get a one-hour massage at a discounted rate of $35, $10 of which will be donated to the local affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Awesome! Check out my review of masseuse Chad at…
Work it Out Weekend
I’ll be doing the CrossFit Women’s Challenge (and winning it) Saturday morning, and may recover by hitting Empower Yoga for some free yoga to stretch out my soreness. Come Sunday, I can dance away the day for free! Of course, there are tons of awesome shows this weekend too, but I’ll let Austin Eavesdropper tell…
Labor Day: Free Day of Yoga
It’s back! Most of Austin’s yoga studios are offering FREE classes Monday. All over town, all types of yogas. Here for details. The schedule is MASSIVE, and they’ve divided it up into Morning / Afternoon / Evening classes, as well as have separate listings for Austin-vicinity places. My suggestion? Bikram at BYD: http://www.bydaustin.com. I made…
Labor Day Weekend
My brother and I are having some friends over tonight (ok, it’s a rager), but other than that I have NO PLANS for Labor Day Weekend. This is rare, people, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’m thinking I’m going to embrace the nothingness and DO nothing. But were I to do things, what they…
The Weekend Usual: Free CrossFit & Sugar Mama’s
You know, the Free CrossFit Workout Central holds Under the Bridge at Town Lake once a month on Saturday morning at 8:30am. Details here. And you also know how much I love Sugar Mama’s cupcakes, so you might call me obsessing over how delicious they are “usual” too, but it’s UNusual for them to be…
What to do this Weekend: Testosterone Fest, Summer Jam
Texas Testosterone Festival I’ve already riffed on how sweet I think the Texas Testosterone Festival is gonna be this weekend: bball skills, Spartan 300, MMA fighting, poker tourneys, choppa customization, bikini and fit model contests … yeah, pretty freakin’ sweet. There’s also an actually-really-cool-if-you’re-not-into-pure-debauchery event too: a Central Texas Pro Sports Round Table with reps…
I love Saturdays: CrossFit before Cupcakes, with a side of (512) Beer
Saturdays in Austin are sometimes lazy recovery days, and sometimes jam-packed adventure days. OK, who am I kidding, they’re always adventurous, sometimes I just choose to laze about instead of partaking. But this Saturday I won’t be missing out on any of these awesome events: 9-11:30am: The Movement @ RunTex on Lake Austin Blvd The…
