Stop getting mad at me for no recipe! Just stop it.
So here’s the thing. I have my cookbook deadline coming up REAL quick. Like November 6th, real quick. So my time in the kitchen has been at an all time low and my time on the computer, at coffee shops, around kind of strange people, has been at an all time high. So I barely have been cooking, meaning I have no new recipes for you. But I will tomorrow, so you’ll have to come back for that fun, new recipe.
While I was at the coffee shop yesterday for a good 5 hours, within the first hour and half, the guy sitting near me smoked 5 cigarettes. Five. So intense. I stared him down with frustration because he smelled like BO smoke. That was rude of me. I need to not be rude. Since I’m pretty sure he is insane. And I shouldn’t mess with my luck nowadays.
My car is fixable!! And I’m getting a pimped out alarm. No big deal. At least it’s cheaper than buying a new car. Which would have put me into debt and I would have been forced to get another job and not blog for you all. I’m not feeling that option.
Speaking of debt, you all have been so incredibly helpful. And I have some thank yous to throw out there. If you donated to my blog, you were a person who kept it up and running. Since my traffic has increased some, I had to purchase a new server. Which was a pretty penny. And if it weren’t for you all, my site would be a blank screen. Also, if it weren’t for my amazing website man Peter, my site wouldn’t be up. Because I sure as hell don’t know how to change servers. So thank you thank you thank you to everyone that has helped this site run! Paleo food would not be the same without you all!
Now I gotta tell you about a cool new LIMITED TIME product that PaleOMG and Renegade Fitness have put together. Thanks to an amazing reader who came up with the idea, we have put together “Breast Cancer Awareness” headbands. They’re pink. Pink is cute. And a portion of the proceeds from every headband sold will go towards Breast Cancer Research. So you can look adorable in your headband while supporting the boobs. Always awesome! It’s like the football games on TV, but way better.
By the way, I’ll be up at 4am today for our new 5am class at the gym. People are actually increasing their heart rates at 5am. Not only increasing their heart rates, but lifting significant weight over their heads. I know, I think it’s crazy too. If my heart rate increased that much at 5am, I think I would legitimately crap my pants from my body going into flight or fight mode. Just science.














Hi Juli!
Do you know when your cookbook will be ready for purchase? I plan on asking for it for Christmas if it’s ready by then. :D
April
she’s got it! April :) but we will be doing pre orders before then!
Colorado need to go non smoking in all public place like Illinois did! Best. thing. ever. Then you wouldn’t have to give people the evil eye. Love the pink headband!!
I always imagine I’m a morning person, then I get to my box and realize that I’m not…like everytime…pretty sure that’s the definition of insanity (at least I don’t smoke)
also, yay boobs!
Haha, I go to my box’s 5:30 AM class every morning. Some people wake up with coffee, I wake up gripping a bar.
I had a meeting with my trainer early in the morning once. The box was CRAZY quiet. Like eerily quiet. Occasionally, I’d hear someone drop a bar. But there was no music, no cheering, no grunting. Just CRAZY PEOPLE working out at 6:00.
<— not a morning workout person
First, I heart you. Seriously. In strictly platonic way of course. Second, I made your spaghetti meatball bites last night- delicious as usual. Third, I hit “buy” on 2 tank tops LAST NIGHT, and I wake up this morning to these adorable headbands! Well played. Well played.
lol… 5am is the BEST time to workout, kill it at the box and everything else is just icing on the cake ;) btw LOVE the blog (even without the recipes).
I am finally going to leave a comment….. I just hit the contribute button!!!!!! I think all of your recipes are awesome and I cant imagine not looking at your site everyday. I hope everyone who reads your site hits the CONTRIBUTE button!!! I hope you know how amazing you are… I sometimes can’t believe your age… you are going places girl!!!!!
Juli, your blog rocks…you just focus on that awesome cookbook of yours and let the people that are wanking about not having new recipes piss off! I coach the 6am class every morning at my box and it definitely is a different WOD than the 9am. I don’t know how they do it. We had requests for a 5am, but it just isn’t going to happen (at least not any time soon). Good on you for allowing people to get their workouts in so early :)
thankfully there are a good amount of people at the 5am so it makes it easier. AND I was done by 8am this morning, so i guess I can’t complain!
So…..no recipe?
I <3 our 0500 class. We're called the 0500 faithfuls and we actually surprised our coach with a customized t-shirt. it was dope.
glad everything is working out with your car. boo on potheads.
can't wait for your book!!!
I love the no recipe ramble posts! Does that make me a little strange?
I am in total sync with you on the morning gym-mers! Before 8am my limbs and brain are still not in conversation with each other haha. Gotta give it up for that kind of dedication!
xoxo, Grether
Hey juli I love the headband, I wish I knew about it soonee I’m running my first half marathon on Nov. 4th and the proceeds go to Susan G. Komen foundation. It would of worked perfectly
you can still get it before then!
What % of the total proceeds are you sending to fund Breast Cancer Research?
$4 will go to Charity Dan!
You are an inspiration for the early am workouts!
Hi, how are you, I love your blog and recipes!!! I have a questions, I want to know if is good to do the same WOD twice a day? Thanks
I wouldn’t say that’s really needed. If anything, you should be doing two different workouts. But everybody is different so do whatever works for you!
For November headbands prostate month you can turn the M into a mustach ?!?
hahaha I love that idea!
I reeeeeeeeally hope your book will be available in Canada <3
I agree pleaseeeeeee be available in Canada!!!
I have to get to sleep so I can get up at 3:40 to coach my 5 a.m. club then get my WOD on at 6 before my regular job so I definitely pick up what you’re puttin down but i do have a question and a statement first…
How can we pre-order the cookbook?
If you make Movember themed headbands, I’ll def buy it (since i can’t grow a decent mustache)
Yea!!! I made a contribution and am so excited for my headband! A few ladies at my box have Paleomg headbands and I am very jealous! Do I need to do anything else? Thanks!
I can barely teach at 5:30, let alone lift heavy sh*t. I’ve even tried working out at 6:30 and no go! I just cannot give it my all that early in the morning. Glad you can keep up the site, I love it!
Where are some good places to get those long sweaters and leggings…..now that I’m lifting heavy and squatting heavy my thighs hate pants! As do I!
Love your blog! Thanks!!!
Hello Juli,
I have a thought on making donations to breast cancer research. Only about 3% goes to the prevention of breast cancer. I think the focus should be on prevention – you can google prevention of cancer and find one you might be interested in but one site which looks good is http://www.breastcancerfund.org/reduce-your-risk/tips/ just an idea the documentary Pink Ribbons,really brings to light this issue of prevention being the key foundation!
okay can i just say that i love you and a lot of times i’m thinking about paleo and love and life in general and i think “man i wish me and juli could be friends in real life instead of just in my head” . is that creepy? probably. i like it. i’m going with it. i hope you have a good day and i’m buying your cookbook.
