Austin: New Restaurant backspace means pizza
I get a lot of press releases, and a lot of food-related press release (something about loving to eat …?). Anyway, a lot of times I save them until I can go visit the restaurant in question, using the info to write a photo-filled blog post about what I liked and didn’t. Rarely do I [...]

Intermittent Fasting or (gasp!) Not Eating Breakfast
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.
