Lunge Circus

Gimpy WODs still suck. Today was my only two-a-day of this week (I think) and it was fine, I wasn’t tired or anything, but I’m TIRED of exclusively working my legs. Is this even good for me? Should I be yoga-ing instead? I can’t put my arm overhead with yoga either … Anyway, our warmup…

Squats squats squats and maybe some more SQUATS

The bad thing about a shoulder injury–besides the pain when I lift my arm above shoulder level–is that all workouts become leg-intense workouts. Throw in some abs. ALL. WEEK. I’m tired of effing squatting. My form has never looked better, and my ass is probably going to be as high and tight(TM)* as it’s ever…

EndlessBeauty.com Extreme Body Challenge

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.…

Grass-Fed Meat

I eat only free-range, grass-fed meat, free-range chicken, and wild-caught fish. I’ve been eating this way for over 3 years, and I think it’s important for health, happiness, and the environment. When I started CrossFit about a year ago, the big thing was the Zone Diet. Well, there’s no way in hell I’m measuring and…

Two-a-days start now

EndlessBeauty.com is the new website I’m working on, and it is absolutely awesome. The concept is awesome, the team is stellar, and the office is like a sorority house. For the month of April, we’re taking on the Endless Beauty Extreme Body Challenge, where we do Relentless Bootcamp coached by CrossFit Central’s Zach Thiel, a…

Free personal training cert?

It’s no secret the CrossFit Level 1 Certification is $1,000, which is a pretty penny for a certification that isn’t accredited. Of course, there are “rumors” (pretty much fact but a question of when) that CrossFit is getting accredited, which would mean that anyone who attends a Level 1 would have to pass a written…

A story of capri pants and basketball

Today: 9:15am: Put on these lululmon wunder under crops, only in all black with a dotted waistband, go to the office with boots and a “nice” shirt (read: v-neck tee … it’s Friday, people!), almost making a real outfit: 1pm: Change into a different t-shirt and sneakers and go to CrossFit. There were about 50…

Primo Chalk!

Austinite CrossFitter and Olympic lifter Jeremy Brooks has created a new kind of chalk called PrimoChalk. As someone who constantly battles ripped hands, I am intrigued … especially because I am still a girl and I like things that say they contain essential oils. They say: “In PrimoChalk™ we’ve combined quality magnesium carbonate with a…

Choose 3

Haha, from awesome blog Barbells and Bacon. The “Choose 3” situation is also fitting for today. ZT coached our class and chose 3 awesome things for our 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 WOD: 95# Thrusters (this is heavy and you’ll remember I knocked a tooth loose the last time I did thrusters) 30 inch box jumps (yep, that says…

Put that in your tweet and smoke it

Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean most times lately, Mike likes to keep us guessing on what our workout will be. CrossFitters in Central’s coed classes get tweets the night before so they know what the workout is the next morning, we get nothing. Technically we’re supposed to always do the .com workout, but Mike…
