CrossFit Gear Giveaway!

Over the past nearly four months, Stacy has been documenting, mostly through photos, our adventures with CrossFit over at the local NOVA CrossFit. Despite all the sore evenings and Facebook comments about our extremely poor form, we’ve completely fallen in love. While we continue to share this love in all our social media outlets, we decided that we’d like to give you, our fans, friends, and followers, an opportunity to win a gift of some of the gear we’ve been using. Why not join in on all this fun we’ve been having? Note, Stacy’s almost always wearing Athleta...

What Are We Up To?

We looked around our own blog recently and realized that we were not writing for it ourselves very often. One of the promises we made to ourselves and to our readers was that we would always be involved in it and be the main contributors. It is unfortunate that writing Beyond Bacon has taken away from our blogging time. But, until we send the book off to print and get back to writing here a whole lot more, why don’t we show you what we’ve been up to? 1. Guest Hosting! Stacy and Sarah, our Paleo View team, took over the Livin’ La Vida Low Carb show this week to share some...

A Fat Girl’s Confession on Starting Crossfit

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you – no doubt – have seen my CrossFit photos lately. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely, genuinely apologize for inundating you with photos of me doing stuff that probably irritates, annoys, confuses or befuddles most of you (which I’m also about to do in this post). Please understand, when you’ve been sitting on your arse for a year recovering from an autoimmune flair and adrenal fatigue and then get in the gym and deadlift 193lbs, you want to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone you know. Especially after...

CrossFit Capital Games of 2012

One of the many perks of running this blog is meeting lots of interesting people. Some of them are totally awesome, but normal people with interesting tales to tell (some of those people can be found telling their amazing stories here!). Two of the coolest people we’ve met are the married owners of the mega awesome and DC area’s largest MMA and Crossfit schools. About three years ago I started occasionally going to local amateur MMA events out in Loudoun County because I enjoy the sport and there’s something really exciting about seeing dudes competing only for the love and...
