Like many CrossFitters, I intermittent fast fairly frequently. Most mornings, I fast. Call it intermittent fasting, the 8-hour diet, whatever. For me, it’s what feels natural. Stop eating at 9pm the night before, fast until 1pm the following day (these hours aren’t set in stone). I’ve never liked breakfast foods, so I don’t miss that, and…

Yoga and More Nature’s Garage Gem
Still at the yoga, still loving it. Check out my silly video from EndlessBeauty.com’s My Chemical Breakup Challenge … Today in yoga I had a different instructor, which is always cool. We played around a lot with forearm balances and crow, which anyone who saw me try and fail to do handstand pushups at Sectionals…
The New Nature’s Garage Gym/Gem
We recently moved from ABC, home of Nature’s Garage Gym CrossFit ABC123 to downtown Aspen. I was afraid there’d be no more rock-hoisting, river-hopping, boulder-jumping workouts, but I need not have worried. This IS Aspen, after all. Yesterday, I ran gassers on the rugby field across the street from our new apartment. Particularly interesting as…
Well hello there
So. I haven’t written in 8 days. In those 8 days, I have barely managed to workout. Or do my burpees. For work and fun, I read somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 blogs a day–via skimming on my RSS feeds. You know my life has gotten overwhelming when I haven’t read my RSS feeds…

Airplane WOD!
I’m traveling today, back to the A for ACL and a lil EndlessBeauty.com face time, and you better believe I’ll be doing my mobility WOD on the plane! Another thing he mentions here that I find absolutely crucial to travel (since I fly at least 4 flights a month these days) is drinking water. Not…
50 Burpees
Vimeo is stupid for not letting me embed on WordPress. Or WordPress is stupid. Not sure which, but stupid. Here are my 50 burpees for day 50. They sucked, I’m not going to lie. 50 Burpees … I’m Getting Stronger from lyssa myska allen on Vimeo.
Free From Foods
via Free the Animal / FAILblog Strive to eat whole foods, yeah? No Free From Foods Food. Except the occasional chocolate chip cookie, which may be free from food but is nonetheless delicious.

Walks
I have a friend who is teeny tiny and not athletic, nor does she enjoy working out–but she has a rockin’ six pack. It’s genetics to some extent, sure, but she also watches her calories and walks for an hour a day. Every single day. I’m not giving up CrossFit (or my rock-hefting version of…
