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…
Top Ten Cheesy Dance Movies List
Because my last post sparked not one but TWO comments on how I was watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up and NO comments on how you could win a Guerilla Suit (ok, Tolly, yours included both but it was weighted MORE toward CSTiU so by the laws of rounding the above statement holds true),…
Primo Chalk!
Austinite CrossFitter and Olympic lifter Jeremy Brooks has created a new kind of chalk called PrimoChalk. As someone who constantly battles ripped hands, I am intrigued … especially because I am still a girl and I like things that say they contain essential oils. They say: “In PrimoChalk™ we’ve combined quality magnesium carbonate with a…
Choose 3
Haha, from awesome blog Barbells and Bacon. The “Choose 3” situation is also fitting for today. ZT coached our class and chose 3 awesome things for our 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 WOD: 95# Thrusters (this is heavy and you’ll remember I knocked a tooth loose the last time I did thrusters) 30 inch box jumps (yep, that says…
Put that in your tweet and smoke it
Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean most times lately, Mike likes to keep us guessing on what our workout will be. CrossFitters in Central’s coed classes get tweets the night before so they know what the workout is the next morning, we get nothing. Technically we’re supposed to always do the .com workout, but Mike…
Fish Oil Calculator
Lots and lots of stuff has been written recently about fish oil. Take it in liquid, take it in pill, only take krill, whatever. Lots of reasons here (no need to reinvent the wheel). Basically, it’ll make you lose weight, get stronger, sleep better, be happier. What more could you want? BEHOLD: the fish oil…
Getchya Guerilla Suit
As we all “get back to business” now that SXSW is over (phew … I spent most of Sunday on my couch watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up), there’s a really cool opportunity for someone really getting back to business: earlier this month, agency vets James Moody and Kevin Whitley announced the creation of…
Awesomeness I’ve been doing and where I’m headed
Yesterday’s awesome: EXPRESS ROCKS at The Phoenix with cute girlie band The Likes, where I got gifted! I think it’s my first visit to a “Gifting Suite” … I was so excited! Lots of love for that event, super fun. Nuke the Soup at Kenichi with free delicious sushi Today’s awesome: PEREZ HILTON / SWAGG…
