VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
If progress motivates … I am at full motivation. About 2.5 months ago, I started working out at a “regular gym” (ie, not a CrossFit gym), following Power Athlete’s CrossFit Football Amateur programming pretty closely (my roommate is CFFB/Power Athlete staff and amazing at life/lifting, so this is helpful). The main reasons: I want to…
Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I’ve written once a week for OVER THREE YEARS (170+- posts). It’s time for a format change—I’ll key in on one thing each week I’m incredibly grateful for, and end each post with a list if necessary.

We talk a lot around the CrossFit gyms about changing the definition of beauty. “Strong Not Skinny” or “Strong is the New Skinny” are mantras and t-shirt slogans in this culture. But sometimes even that more positive spin on the ideal body is missing the point: there isn’t an ideal body. Beauty isn’t one way…
What is Mental Toughness? That Burgener family has got it going on, they are some smart cookies. The letter Sage posted from her brother really made me think: am I committed to things that I want to be committed to? My fave line from the whole thing: they decided it was what they wanted, and…
I mentioned last post the EndlessBeauty.com Extreme Body Challenge. http://endlessbeauty.com/content/endlessbeautycom-extreme-body-challenge All the info is at that link–what it is, our food logs, and more. Including this sweet vid of me & ZT: Today was Day 2 of the challenge. I went to see Kyler at AST and he seems a little worried about my shoulder.…
