Thank goodness for my friend Heather or I would have no pictures to put on my random blog posts. I wish I had one of me eating. REALLY weird that I don’t. And disappointing. I’ll eat in more public places from now on. With a camera man by my side.
I don’t know if you care about what I eat, but I’m going to put it out there anyways. A couple people have asked what I eat on a daily basis, especially during CrossFit competition season, so I thought I’d share. I eat different every day, depending on what I’ve made that week for my blog or what I have on hand for random crap that wasn’t worth posting. I make a lot of random burgers when I don’t know what to make.
My breath smells like onions.
Ok, so this day of meals is from Wednesday. My schedule is really weird being a coach and having to blog/cook at random times of the day so I tend to eat at awkward times as well. Be prepared to be bored!
- 4:15am- wake up time- usually will have a cup of coffee
- 5:30am- coaching
- 6:30am- breakfast–> ~4oz leftover chicken breast, 6-7 large strawberries, 1 grande americano with heavy cream (probably drank 2/3 of it)
- 7:15-10am- coaching
- 10:30am- workout + strength session
- 11:45am- protein drink (I do about 6-8 oz water with 1/2 scoop Simply Pure Nutrients Recovery Fuel)
- 12:00pm- made food for the day — snacked while I cooked–> 1.5 pieces bacon, 1-2 oz beef, handful of walnuts
- 1:30pm- lunch–> ~3-4oz grass fed beef, 1/4 onion caramelized, 1 piece of bacon, 1/2 small avocado
- 3:00pm- 2nd workout + muscle up practice
- 4:00-8:00pm- coaching
- 8:30pm- dinner–>2 southwest turkey sliders and a bit of slaw
- 10:00pm- late night snacks while I blog–> 3 strawberries, some walnuts, 1 southwest slider
Wow. You bored yet? Me too. All that food looks like dog doo doo. I get lazy with my camera phone when the food looks like poo. And I have shaky hands. I’m a nervous person. Not really.
So, got any questions? Are you thinking…”Say wha?! This Juli chick is effing whack” or “I can’t believe this girl drinks protein shakes! I thought she called herself paleo?! Fraud!” or “OMG I can’t believe she eats past 7pm! She sucks at life” Don’t worry people, I know. But I would definitely love to hear from you no matter what you have to say!
Good to see that even those that are what we consider elite @CF have some of the same probs us peons do…lol!!! Love your blog!!! I must admit I haven’t had a chance to try allot of your recipes, but I often get a good laugh from reading your stuff 🙂
Yeah weight is definitely a struggle for me no matter how much I wod
I always appreciate seeing what others are eating in a day, even if it’s kind of a “boring” day. I am surprised that you don’t need more food for your activity level. I thought I had long days (awake at 4:45 and bed at 10:00) but you have LONG days. Stay well. Best wishes in the Games.
I wish I needed more food. I love eating. If u didn’t know
Got my t-shirt in the mail today. Boo-yah.
do you like it Tom!?
So I just made the Carmel pecan bars and you were right…they are no joke! Topped them with coconut and broiled them for just a min to brown it-outstanding! Little bits of heaven in my mouth!
I’m a regular blog stalker but have never posted. If I had a weekly addictions list you would be number one! That sound kinda creepy but it’s true. You’re the first sight I go to when I make my weekly meal plans.
My bf creeps you too…he just got one of your shirts-sent me the pic today-so cute/hot/whatever we wanna call it. Haha He lives in CO I’m in IA..thus the picture.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you for the great recipes and endless entertainment!!
I totally just wrote you a book…I tend to be awesome like that. Haha
You’re awesome Audra!! That’s so cool he bought a shirt!! Who is your bf? Do I know him?
Love your blog! In fact, I’m reading this post as I cook dinner…love your food ideas–so inspiring and yummy. I look forward to more of your inventions. Bring it on, girl!
Lol that’s freaking awesome Rebekah, thanks for liking my random posts haha
His name is TJ. He met you when he was trying to find a Crossfit out there but not sure if you recall him.
I want to come to one of your classes on my next visit. I feel the urge to meet you…perhaps we can have a dance off-lol
I love your moves!
Also, I think it best that a sport one of your tanks. What size do u think-I’m built pretty much exactly like you…big booty, thighs and all! Gotta love heavy weight back squat! Not that I’m wearing the shirt on my ass but u get the point;)
Though on that note i think some OMG yoga pant (preferably lulus) should be considered…just a thought
Ok, again w/ the book…I really gotta work on that!
I totally remember but I can’t picture his face! Dangit! Well you should definitely come to the gym for a wod! I would love that!! I’m a medium in the tanks and a c cup so i bet that would work for you!
Yep, that should work! Thanks so much…you’re the best!
You are so awesome! Your posts are such a blast to read. Totally inspiring on all levels.. workouts, cooking, friends, fun, life management. You write like so many of us think… who knew there were so many of ‘us’?
I love your recipes, I read them through and through. I substitute here and there….(forgive me I am a vegetarian) Hope it was ok to confese that..pls don’t kick me out!
Thanks so much Beth!! And I’ll support you not eating meat if you are still trying my recipes 😉
I recently discover your blog and truth to be told… I love all your recipes! I also share your same passion: Crossfit and Paleoish lifestyle. I’m the only “paleo” member in a family of four. I find your recipes so yummy and adaptable that my non-paleo family members can enjoy too. Please keep them coming!
They will definitely keep coming Martha!!
ugh. how annoying is it that people want to know what you eat and then everyone feels the need to tell you what you should be eating. damn. I know they probably mean well, but… shoot. thanks for sharing. I always like to see how other people manage their fitness/nutrition.
Lol agreed Carrie haha thanks for noticing
Anyone who says “OMG you eat past 7, you’re gonna get fat” is an idiot and has no grasp of the current science on the topic. Nothing sets my nerd rage off quite like this outdated “bro-science”. I do find it interesting on the veggie thing and weight gain, do you actually gain bodyfat when you eat more vegetables or is this a water retention issue…you’re the first person i’ve run into who has this problem, so you’ve piqued my curiosity, lol.
I can see my body mass change when I eat too many veggies, it’s such a bummer.
I appreciate the modesty to respond to everyone’s posts. haha still trying to be the cook you are. your crappy pictures of your food still look better than what comes out of my crockpot/skillet.
