Turtlenecks are totally in style right now. Along with cheesy kitchen smiles. It’s just a fact.
Did anyone else see the new Oreo flavors they released?? I know we are all paleo and gluten free over here but maaaan does chocolate chip cookie dough Oreo and rice krispy treat Oreo sound amazing. Like seriously.
It’s cold here in CO. But not that cold. I mean, the snow is almost completely melted after just one day. Thankfully it’s cold enough that I’ve been able to wear my new Sorels from The Clymb. Half price Sorels??? YES PLEASE. I bought mine a half size smaller and they are perfect. Waterproof and hella warm. I kind of wish I could wear them every day.
Here we go with another ‘what I stuffed in my face in one day’ post. Based on my workout performance that day, I definitely didn’t eat enough. It was a big cooking day for future blog posts so I seemed to snack more and eat smaller meals which isn’t always the best for my body. Ah well. Now here we go.
Morning! Breakfast was blueberry sausage and eggs. I swear it’s not throw up, even if it looks like it.
Then I made cookies. Had to eat one for recipe creation purposes. Duh. (recipe coming soon to the blog)
Then I made a super bowl deviled egg recipe. And ate one. Recipe creation purposes, of course. (recipe coming to the blog next week)
After cooking all morning, I made myself a real lunch. Maple chicken sausage (no clue what brand), burnt broccoli, olives and some Steve’s Paleo Goods ketchup. I probably ate about half of what you see on the plate. Snacking made me less hungry.
After getting 3 delicious recipes during my morning of recipe development, I worked on emails, blog posts, and getting ready for next week Super Bowl Snacks post. About an hour before I worked out, I had 1/3 of a Perfect Foods Bar, the peanut butter kind. No, they are not paleo. No, I do not care. And yes, they are absolutely amazing. Especially the peanut butter.
On my way to the gym, I drank 1/4-1/3 of a leftover Suja Juice I had in the fridge. I love this kind.
Once I got to my gym, CrossFit Broadway, I did a hell workout. I’m not sure if it was because I hadn’t eaten enough or just because I suck at working out, but this workout kicked my freaking ass. This is what it looked like:
With a running clock
1000 m Row
When clock hits 6 mins:
3Rounds for time of:
12 Back Squats (185#/125#) from floor — I used 95#
12 Toes 2 Bar
When clock hits 12 mins:
3 Rounds for time of:
20 KB Swings (70#/55#) — I used 45#
50 Double Unders
When clock hits 18 mins:
1000 m Row
After the workout, I coached two classes, trying to catch my breath through both classes. Then I ran out of there quick to get food as fast as possible. Cooking was not an option at this point. While I waited for friends, I ate 2 more deviled eggs and 5 plantain chips. Yes, 5. I counted. Then we headed to Finley’s Pub to grab burgers. Their burger consists of ground chuck, braised short rib, chedder, bacon, and bernaise along with sweet potato fries on the side. It was delicious, as usual.
After dinner, I tried again to like Breaking Bad. I even watched 3 episodes. Way past my bed time. I think it gave me a headache. Too much depression and sadness in each episode. And meth head women with really bad teeth. So to ease my headache and and grossed out feeling of yellow teeth, I ate a square of Eating Evolve’s French Vanilla Chocolate. Perfect bed time snack.
Ok, that’s it. Kbye.
Your selfies are adorable. Quick question, I know you’ve blogged about some good paleo snack bars….can you remind me which ones you like. I need to have some on the go food for every now and then.
Yes, the blueberry mash does look like throw up. Ew. 🙂
I like rx bars and krunch bars from Steve’s paleo goods! Hope that helps!
Janet,
Check out our Paleo protein bars. They all have at least 20g of protein & are delicious. http://www.srbars.com or contact me if you have any questions (srproteinbars@gmail.com).
I really think those cookies have bacon in them?! Cannot wait to see!
You are correct!!
Finley’s has one of the best burgers ever… mmm, damn it, now I need to go there this weekend. 😉
No picture of your cute new Sorels? And I’ve been meaning to ask, is Laura still going to be your roommate? Or are you going solo?
I posted them on Instagram!! And no more Laura and I. Moving in with the boyfriend 🙂
Congrats! what a big step. I know you’re super excited about the new place, can’t wait to see it!
I have a thing with teeth as well. Bad teeth freak me out. Especially if I know they have the money to fix it, it’s just a real task to look them in the eye and not stare at their teeth! Sigh, it’s superficial, but it’s true.
Okay, so I’ve been a reader of yours for a few years now, but I’ve never commented. I love your recipes–everything I’ve made that you’ve posted has been awesome. I just felt like I had to say that because I’m commenting on your attempt to like Breaking Bad and not food. I’ve tried to explain to my husband why I can only watch an episode or two at a time, and I fail miserably because it’s about a feeling I get. And I don’t like it. And you are totally right–it is such a sad, miserable show! I’m finally in the last season now, though. It doesn’t get happier. I could take it or leave it.
Agreed on Breaking Bad. I gave up. It was too dark and icky. Subsequently, my husband gave up too. Too violent and dark. So, he reads their synopses online (it’s like reading a book) which is much better. He’ll get through the seasons that way.
If it doesn’t make you feed good DON’T DO IT! That’s a pretty good rule of thumb. 🙂
Love and light and last week of January—HURRAH!
I would not want to walk into the box and see that WOD written on the board. I don’t think it is you, that looks like hell.
That burger looks fantastic!! I am drooling, guess I need to eat my lunch.
I love your blog. I hit is every day to read your posts and get some ideas on what to make for my family (yes I am the main one that cooks as my wife works twice as hard as I do).
Where do you get blueberry sausage?!
Whole foods!
I love the cranberry crunch perfect foods bars! 🙂 Theyre all good but its my fave! Looking forward to the new food posts! Have an awesome weekend!
not to be a debbie downer, but you might be wasting your time *trying* to like b.b. … i mean, i absolutely LOVED that show, but i was completely HOOKED on it (yellow teeth and all) in the first 5 minutes … i just HAD to find out why this middle aged guy who thought he was about to get gunned down by the police was driving an RV full of dead Mexicans through the desert in his underwear wearing a gas mask … and the show only got better from there for me.
if you’re still struggling after several episodes, i’m afraid it’s only going to get more distasteful and reprehensible for you … but, as always, YMMV.
