So I’ve been looking forward to working out all day and have planned to hit the gym at 8:30pm when I find out it closes at 9pm. Now, CrossFit is quick and all, but it’s just not worth bundling up and trekking to the gym for less than 30 minutes. I briefly contemplate taking another…

What the X?
x lyssa is a CrossFit blog … yep, another one of those! One of those where I talk about what my workout was, how I felt, what I ate before, or after, how much I slept, how much I hate burpees, how sore I am, how awesome I feel… yep, it’s a CrossFit blog. However,…
You Might Have Noticed I Was Gone … CrossFit Cert
When I travel, I try to make it appear like I’m here for your guys anyway … only sometimes it doesn’t work, like when I book a flight Wednesday night and leave Friday morning and don’t have time to put together some preemptive posts. This past weekend I was in Golden, CO for a CrossFit…
Scaled Nights Out
Many people would call CrossFit an inside joke. Though it is simply a style of working out, its gyms and clients are notoriously cult-ish, while the sport itself has its own terminology — WOD? AMRAP? RX? — and the people who play large roles often become highly characterized versions of themselves (for example, see the…
Must-Read Blog for Crossfitters
I know a lot of you out there AREN’T Crossfitters, and I know this is my gazillionth post today–two strikes, but I’m still in the ballgame, because IF you Crossfit, you MUST read Sage Burgener’s (yep, as in Burgener-Warm-Up’s daughter) new blog. Only five entries in, this gem of a blog is hysterical and oh-so-true.…
A Note on Eating … plus FREE Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Kids, I’ve gone Paleo. You’ll see upcoming posts on things not Paleo (looking at you, Dulce Vida delicious tequila), like the following notice in this same post, but as of the beginning of this week, I’ve undertaken a 30-day Strict Paleo Challenge with 4 of my fellow CrossFitters. Curious? What’s a Paleo? Already thought I…
Free Mid-Week CrossFit Workout!
I know, I know, I’m always posting about free CrossFit workouts (hello, they happen at least once a month), but this one is special because it’s on a Wednesday at 9:30am. Totally random–or targeting those of us who refuse to get out of bed for 8:30am Saturday workouts–but totally awesome. Get to work early and…
My silly baking: paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
I really enjoy baking. I also really enjoy eating Paleo (no processed food, no grains, no dairy, no sugar), and the two are not very compatible. So I constantly quest to bake as Paleo-ish as possible. I have more failures (well, what’s a failure, really? I’ll eat it, but I wouldn’t feed it to friends)…
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…
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…
