I’ve been in a funk mood lately. Not sure why. I have no reason to be. Workouts have been good. Food has been good. Social life has been good. So daily, I’ve had to say, ‘Juli, get your sh*t together. Go to the gym and be happy.’ And that’s what I’ve done. Seriously, the gym is the place I feel the happiest. How weird is that? It may be stupid to some, but doing a workout completely changes my attitude about everything. It’s the one place I can simply breathe. It’s the one place where I forget about anything that’s been worrying me. I love CrossFit.

Well, that was deep.

Guess what I did this weekend?! I hosted an All Women’s Lifting Seminar at CrossFit Jai. It was AWESOME. I had 8 wonderful women from all around Colorado who took time out of their Saturday to workout with me and listen to me crack terrible jokes. We got to review the olympic lifts and talk about boys. Not really, boys suck. But we did get to chat about our love for CrossFit and how amazing it has been in our lives. I hope they all had fun. Because I sure did. I even fed them these bars at the end of the class. CrossFit + Lemon Fruit Tart = happy women. Just fact.

Other than that, it was a pretty standard weekend. Let’s review what it included.

  1. Workouts that made my ass incredibly sore. I didn’t beat Jake or Sergio in a workout we did together, but I did butterfly pull ups the whole time so I was pumped. My hands feel indifferent since they seem to be one open wound.
  2. Intense amount of meats. Pork chops and Denver steaks to be exact. So much meat.
  3. Tequila shots. Regretted that decision immediately.
  4. Playing with the cutest puppy in the world. Jake and Krystle’s first child.
  5. Discovered a bee hive in the tree outside our house. That’s frightening.
  6. Made pumpkin fudge and blueberry waffles. Not sure if I’ll put those recipes on the website…because they may be going in something else soon…hmmmmmm….
  7. Ate a salmon and cream cheese omelet on a patio. No cream cheese is not paleo. Nor were the sweet potato fries that made my life wonderful. Yes, my mouth had a foodgasm.
  8. Watched ‘The Incredibles’ with Laura. OMG I love that freaking movie.

This weekend made me realize that I really just wished I lived in an Usher music video. Take that how you will.
