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. [...]

Mmmm free Champagne Mango milkshakes

K&N Management, owner and creator of Mighty Fine Burgers, Fries & Shakes, made history by being the first restaurant group to receive the prestigious Texas Award for Performance Excellence (TAPE). To celebrate receiving the state’s highest recognition for quality, Mighty Fine Burgers, Fries & Shakes will have in-store celebrations and offer free “champagne” hand-dipped shakes made with peak-of-season champagne mangoes [...]

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 [...]

Yak Pak is Bak

Swag abounds during SXSW, so how does a company set itself out from the noise? Yak Pak–yes, the backpack staple–let its stylish, functional tote bags do the talking. They sweetly sent me one after SX to take for a spin, and after I used it as a weekender this past weekend, I can say that [...]

Lake Fave Ski Shores is About to Re-Open

Iconic lakeside Ski Shores Café announced it will reopen sometime in April (it had previously said April 2) under new management — serving the same great fare (their burgers are an Austin classic) plus new menu options in open-air facility double the previous capacity. For more than 50 years, boaters (and jet skiers) have pulled [...]

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 [...]

Cowboy Party OR Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka

I’ve written about Austin Young Chamber of Commerce before (here), but this time they are throwing a mega shindig. At their Tie One On party at Rebel’s Honky Tonk, there will be an OPEN BAR from 7-11pm, live music from Grant Jones and the Pistol Whip Lassos & Mikey and the Soda Jerks, a bull [...]

Where is my Snatch from?

Har har har. Two subjects today: Max Snatch day and Milk. Alex and I worked primarily on form, didn’t really max, but did lots of reps at 75#, 80#, and 85#. Lindsay maxed at a PR of 140#!!! Can you imagine? Some day. It was a nice heavy day, felt good to just pick up [...]
