… but I got into some hot springs today (in my fave swimsuit from Vix–the hottest!) and I’m freezing my ass off, so it’s the time of year to start thinking about bikini weather, and dreaming about it, and perusing Victoria’s Secret’s 2010 Swim catalog, knowing it’s best to hold off another month or two…

All my life I’ve wanted to be somebody
About a month ago, I was in Colorado for an event that in a twisted way pushed me into the current life trajectory I’m on. This print was in my hotel bathroom. The universe works in funny ways.
This is Life in Aspen?
OMG LOL CUTE OVERLOAD. Um, I love my pup. And I REALLY love her adventuring out in the snow for the first time! We’re in Aspen with the Vermonster, so we’re both adjusting to frolicking about in snow and cooooold weather. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Z6mqc8Knc] Hunter boots. Fashionable, but not warm in the snow, even with hot pink…
You can stop hearing about CrossFit now …

Group Motivation: Me in the Gym
Today’s .com workout: Most of the comments went something like this: “wow that’s gonna suck” I, on the other hand, was excited. I love the olympic lifts and I need to work on rowing–a perfect combo of loves and not. I did decide before the workout even began that I’d scale to 3 Rounds. Breathing…
What do you do when the gym is closed?
So I’ve been looking forward to working out all day and have planned to hit the gym at 8:30pm when I find out it closes at 9pm. Now, CrossFit is quick and all, but it’s just not worth bundling up and trekking to the gym for less than 30 minutes. I briefly contemplate taking another…
What the X?
x lyssa is a CrossFit blog … yep, another one of those! One of those where I talk about what my workout was, how I felt, what I ate before, or after, how much I slept, how much I hate burpees, how sore I am, how awesome I feel… yep, it’s a CrossFit blog. However,…
