You may be curious about what a psychic has to do with Crossfit and Paleo. Five years ago I would have wondered too, but having survived two moves to California and the birth of a child, I find that the few words spoken to me by a random reader have remarkably affected the life I now live.

Often I am asked why I participate in Crossfit. Unless you’ve tried it … long enough to feel the results … it can be difficult to explain. Sometimes I opt out for the easy answer and just tell them I am crazy. What I witnessed at the 2012 Crossfit Games explains exactly why I have stuck with Crossfit and will continue to do so…but I will get to that in a moment.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend…which means I will be at the Crossfit Games! Be sure to follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram (@AshleyCline) for live updates! Sergio will be mad I posted this lol…Love you!! 
Now, I probably won’t log every single work out I do – unless you want me to, of course! Periodically, I will update you on a WOD so you can get an idea of what kind of Crossfit activities I am participating in and how I modify a workout so I can participate with my class.
Congratulations to our 2012 Crossfit Games Giveaway winner is Michael Torres! Thank you to everyone who entered and shared the sweepstakes. Michael was kind enough to send us a photo of him with his adorable son showing off their passes. Thanks Michael!
Tomorrow, our Crossfit gym is inviting everyone out to come and work on their one rep-max PR for the oly clean. Obviously, being pregnant I am in no shape to be working on any PRs but lucky for me, everyone is also encourage to bring their favorite Paleo dish and share recipes. I am all about the Paleo goodies.

I said “almost” because after taking a break for a while, I just didn’t feel energized and I was beginning to get out of shape. I’d be danged if that would continue. I’d worked too hard, and I missed those extra endorphins that come out after a nice bout of exercise.
Now, I’m no stranger to a good hike, but today’s hike really took a lot out of me. Maybe, it was because Sergio and I didn’t have our toddler with us, so we were able to take a more intense trail. A great workout though to start off our day! Happy Independence Day everyone!
Hubby and I got frisky last night. No, not that kind of frisky… we decided to really treat ourselves to a romantic and absurdly delicious meal. We went out and picked up two half-pound, rib-eye steaks – not beef, but bison. Maybe you’ve tried bison and are thinking, “Yuck”. No surprise there! The grain-fed variety just doesn’t taste like meat. Besides, grass-fed is amazingly healthy. When compared to grain-fed it is:
