I finally took my Level 1 cert test this weekend. I got certified over a year ago, but they changed the standards to be accredited so I had to take a new test—I passed! 🙂 But it also reminded me a little something about the CrossFit Kool-Aid. SO much of what CrossFit is about is…
Motivation
In case your post-Cinco-de-Mayo Friday features as little motivation to work out as mine:
T-spiration: Work Harder. Right Here. Right Now.
I LOVE these designs. Inspirational messages printed backward so you can read them in the mirror. From I Am Athletics. My only gripe? This is my fave, why’s it only on a men’s tee?? … I guess I can order it and wear anyway, so it’s kinda unisex. But still. I need a serious budget…
Row, row, row your boat
I often scour CrossFit box websites to find good workouts, but rarely do I read about a workout another gym did and think to myself, oooh, I’ve gotta tackle that one. It’s usually tough workouts I wouldn’t program for myself, or creative combos I hadn’t thought of. Basically, I’m not emailing myself 21-15-9 workouts. Programming for…
Dance in the Rain
I’ve alluded to my personal challenges and stress of late. Similar to making lemonade of lemons, I’m dancing in the rain while I figure out where the hell my umbrella is … or where I’m seeking shelter. From garage door at the Aspen CrossFit gym.
Town 2 Town Throwdown
When I first visited Aspen over a year ago (in February), there was Roaring Fork CrossFit. Now, there’s Roaring Fork, Aspen, Bonedale, Glenwood Springs, and New Castle—OH, and my new BlissFits Boot Camp. The valley has exploded with CrossFit! The gyms all get together once a month to host a competition with 2 WODs. This…

My Final Thoughts on the HCG Diet, 2.5 Weeks After
This is a hard post to write, because I wanted the HCG Diet to work. I believed in it, I followed the rules to a T, and it did work. But 2 1/2 weeks later the pounds have snuck back on, and all the sudden I’m not as slim as I was and I’m back…
Aspen: Spring Celebrations Announcing BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp!
As spring rolls around, there are lots of announcements: babies, graduation announcements, save-the-date cards, and so on. Since I have no news of that sort, I’m excited to celebrate a more Lyssa-like announcement: BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp! You guys know how much I love CrossFit, and sharing the word about fitness and how awesome it is. I’ve…
