This is a hard post to write, because I wanted the HCG Diet to work. I believed in it, I followed the rules to a T, and it did work. But 2 1/2 weeks later the pounds have snuck back on, and all the sudden I’m not as slim as I was and I’m back…

Review: Reebok EasyTone Freestyle Hi Shoes
I could have sworn I posted this review here, but a google revealed nothing, so maybe I just tweeted about it. These are obviously a hot topic in the CrossFit community because Reebok is sponsoring our awesome hardcore CrossFit Games while simultaneously promoting toning shoes … I don’t think it’s an oxy-moron, I think it’s…
Water shots
At a friend’s birthday party last week, there were tequila shots. And rather than not take tequila shots with the crew, they ordered me a water shot. I salted up my hand, grabbed a lime, and cheered with the rest of the gaggle of girls. Turns out, salt + water = seawater. Word to the…
Try Me

On Not Drinking
I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…

Sports Psych Update
I withdrew from the Fittest Games. My back/SI joint stopped hurting. I did all the right things (treatment, standing, icing, yoga), but I also worked through the conflict. Naysayers can say it was physical, believers can say it was mental. It was probably a combination of both. Like most things. There is no black and…
Sports Psychology
I’m a psychologists’ kid, I can’t help it. Here’s my confession: I tried to back out of competing in the Fittest Games. Veronica made me sign up, and I want to compete because it’s fun and I love a good challenge, but I’m worried. I’m worried because I still can’t do muscleups or handstand pushups.…

HOW much do you love this? Thanks, Megan!
Breakthroughs
People in the CrossFit community talk a lot about breaking through certain fears. Being upside down, lifting heavy weight, whatever. I have never been scared of those things. I can’t do a handstand pushup, but it’s not fear, it’s strength (lack thereof). So I don’t get those “breakthroughs.” But in skiing I face a lot…
