Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!
This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…

Breakthroughs
People in the CrossFit community talk a lot about breaking through certain fears. Being upside down, lifting heavy weight, whatever. I have never been scared of those things.

I Am Rocky
Hahaha. OK, maybe not all the time, but last night some unfortunate circumstances forced me to work out solo even though I am in Austin and all I wanted was to work out with people again since I work out alone all the time in Aspen! It was a cold, misty, almost-stormy night when I…

I found this for only $80! Should I have bought it? Turns out you need a lot of warm boots in snowy places. Which of these should I get? Or do you have other (not TOO expensive) faves I need to know about? Don’t tell me UGGS!! Snow boots by lifeinaustin featuring sporto shoes Also,…
