Wheels. I haven’t had good luck with them lately. Sunday morning, the jeep petered out two blocks from my house. A friend came to get me, and I pushed the jeep back to the house—a neighbor popped his head out, asked if I was pushing the jeep for fitness or out of necessity, and finding…
It’s like I just discovered Athleta. I kinda did. Since starting to play flag football in a league that has photographers out every weekend, I’ve had to pay attention to what shorts I own that not only are comfortable and don’t ride up, but look good on camera. It’s a tough bill. Most of the…
Oh, Universe. You are hilarious. One minute I’m posting about how happy I am to have my health, and the next I’m vomiting and pooping in quick succession—too quick if you know what I mean—for hours on end, sleeping next to the toilet (is my face ON the toilet? too sick to care), and then…
Gainzzzzz are exciting. Not every day in the gym is exciting, or even a good day. And this coming from someone who loves the gym. The boring days are important too. Boring like this photo.
My startup website DailyHap.com turns three years old today! The plan was hatched as Nali and I were living in a 200-square-foot room in a B&B in Aspen, the website was formed and developed in my most favorite apartment ever in Aspen, and the site strategy, content, and audience continued to grow as I moved…
My mom tells the following story about me that illustrates perfectly my gratitude for this week. Living in Austin, they brought me and my brother to Barton Springs pool for the first time. I ran up to the railings that overlook the natural wonder (pictured in case you haven’t seen it for yourself but NONE of…
This Friday, I feel grateful for Denali. You knew that was coming. But lately I’ve had this irrational fear that she’s going to die and LEAVE ME and I COULDN’T POSSIBLY HANDLE THAT. This dawg has been with me through 10 homes in 3 states in the past 8 years. She’s been through hot Texas summers,…
If progress motivates … I am at full motivation. About 2.5 months ago, I started working out at a “regular gym” (ie, not a CrossFit gym), following Power Athlete’s CrossFit Football Amateur programming pretty closely (my roommate is CFFB/Power Athlete staff and amazing at life/lifting, so this is helpful). The main reasons: I want to…
Look, I know every so often I get all excited about a beauty product and proclaim, “this is IT!” But, y’all, this is IT.* Magic cream. With a funny name. I’m pretty sure I bought it mainly because it’s funny that it’s called Africa’s Secret and I love all the dirty hippie ingredients in it,…
I spent 52 hours in Aspen last weekend, and I left feeling so incredibly grateful, refreshed, and grounded. I got to spend amazing quality time with some of my best girlfriends through pants-less couch time, fancy dinners, basement bars, hot tubs, lifts, bowl hiking, glasses of champagne, and skiing. We talked, laughed, commiserated, giggled, dreamed, schemed, flirted, danced, gave…
