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:
Austin: Giveaway! Tix to Advance Screening of Forks Over Knives
“The answer is so simple it’s criminal: people starting to take responsibility for their health.” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ijukNzlUg&feature=player_embedded] This trailer is for FORKS OVER KNIVES, a film examining the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods*. *You know…

Stronger Faster Healthier + Discount!!

No, it’s their grass-fed whey protein that first attracted me, and the…

Friday Night Pizza
The scene: Friday night Me: I don’t know if this crust is going to work, but I’m going to try it. That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM): Didn’t you perfect it with that crispy crust recipe? Me: Yeah, but that was with nuts and flax. Now I want to mix in veggies so it’s not as…
