ANOTHER green smoothie? Come on, Juli.
I’m so freaking tired. These 5am shifts are pulling me down. It’s just so early. And so dark outside. And so depressing. At least I coach some amazing people, or it would be complete hell.
So yesterday, I ran to the gym. As soon as I started running, I knew it was a bad idea. I haven’t been this sore since Regionals. And I have no idea why. I’m going lighter in weights, so I’m moving quicker through the movements and actually using my muscle correctly…so that’s probably why. Like with back squats. I suck ass at them. So now that I’m going a bit lighter, I actually use my ass in the squats. And now I feel like someone beat my ass with a baseball bat. Cool, but not really. So after I got done at the workout yesterday, I did not run home. I walked. And it got cold reaaaaaaal quick. But there was no way my legs were going to move at a quicker pace, no way. But walking is fun sometimes. You notice more weird things. And people. Like the woman in the park who was kicking at the geese. These geese, just minding their own business, and this woman is kicking her way through. Rude. Weirdo.
Want a bra story to end your work week?! OK!!
So I bought this sticky bra a few weeks back and was pumped about it. Because it just sticks to your boobs and you have to do nothing. Genius. Until you’re on the dance floor and things get sweaty. Sticky bras can get a bit slippery in that situation. Ew. Anywho, I bought this new one and opened it up to find that it was two sizes too small. Packaging idiots. Did that mean I took it back and got a new size? Hell no. I’m too lazy for that nonsense. So I wore the sticky bra that was two sizes too small with pride. No comfortably. Whatsoever. I looked the opposite of middle school memories. Instead of wearing a padded bra that was two sizes too big and the boys chanting ‘boobless’ to me, I wore one that was two sizes too small, falling down to my belly while dancing, with the boys saying nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sexy Juli 2013 is having a rough start.
Don’t you love Friday bra stories? I sure do.

Hey Juli! Im a new reader and I love your recipes and your humor 🙂 I’m doing a Paleo Challenge with my box in Little Rock AR and have been using your site religiously.. just wanted to send some love your way! Have a fun weekend :p
You are so funny! I am the same way with taking things back….wayyyyyy to lazy for that shit!
Is the coconut milk for this recipe the canned version or the one is square boxes (in the organic section…sometimes listed as vanilla coconut milk)??
canned!
i had the same sticky bra for 8 years. it lasted me through 4 years of high school recitals and musicals and 4 years of college. my best friend, mitchel, would always make fun of me for it because i never washed it and it always had weird hairs attached to it. but honestly, how do you wash that kind of thing? you don’t. you just let the sweat accumulate for years and years to the point that it just smells so bad that you must throw it out. anyway, i hope you rock your chicken cutlet bra!!!
Loved the second green smoothie option, I’m always down to put a veggie in a smoothie. I had to share my newest smoothie creation, one banana, some leftover mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter (about a tablespoon) and almond milk, I added some cinnamon as well (and a bit of pumpkin pie spice). It looks like orange weirdness but tastes great. Smoothies are becoming my thing now that Im injured and trying not to get fat while I plan for surgery/recovery and accept that this will not be my year to dominate the open.
I need a better blender. Your green smoothies look so much nicer than mine. Sad to say I havent had the cash to invest…. so I chew up some of that green. 😉
ps… bras suck.
I recently broke my wrist and have been forced to get real friendly with running. I still hate it. I feel your pain. Thank God it’s not as cold in NJ as it is in CO!
PS- what is your crossfit tattoo of?
