Fish is so intimidating. I have no idea why. It’s not hard to cook. It smells a little funny, but I sometimes do too and I’m not intimidated by myself. Well, I decided to stop being a lil b*tch and cooked up some fish. Salmon to be exact. And it turned out beautifully. I was lucky enough to get an awesome piece of salmon from my friend Ryan who catches little fishies himself! If you live in CO and want fresh fish this summer, Ryan is your man to talk to! Check out the flyer below for his information! And get to eating salmon you Colorado people.
Speaking of stinky things, let’s talk about a Facebook thread that occurred the other day. I wrote on my PaleOMG Facebook page that I had consumed mass amounts of broccoli that night. Well, what’s new. But people began to comment back that I wasn’t going to be fun to be around. Implying that I was going to be a fart machine. Well people, I don’t know what your butts are doing, but mine definitely is very cool with me consuming broccoli. Grains, absolutely not. But broccoli, my body is down for that. I even went on a date recently, yes I Juli B. went on a date, and had eaten broccoli early in the day. No mishaps occurred. Long story short, you broccoli farters out there, you’re weird. But I like you.
I need you to help me make a decision people. My friend invited me to go to Lake Powell. I want to go but I hate swim suits and I don’t drink very much. My friend’s like both, very much. Even though I know I suck as a friend in the party aspect, they still invited me. Do I go? Tell me what to do. TELL ME.
Oh and don’t forget to follow me on instagram @paleomg. I’m like, OMGobsessed. And really bad at taking pictures.

WOW, I can’t wait to make this,,,,looks/sounds fabulous!!!!
You should totally go! I think you are being waaay too modest, you have AMAZING abs and I am sure you look great in a swim suit, a two piece at that! Go show off the results of all your hard work =)
Oh and is it weird that I almost printed the pic of you at regionals showing your amazing abs? My plan was to put it on my fridge so when I am having a weak moment I can look at you and know I will never have those abs if I eat like crap…then I thought my husband would enjoy it a little too much?!
Oh and I am going to try this recipe next week, I am also a little scared of fish but this looks awesome!
Go.Have.Fun. Wear that swimsuit w/the same confidence you have at the gym! Men and women will drool. Truth. As for the drinking…you seem like ur fun enough without the liquid inhibition… 😉
Recipe looks good…will def try it.
P.S. Seriously?! That’s all you’re saying about the date……??????????????? Tease.
he’s very good looking. and adorable 🙂
Is cute and adorable worthy of/getting a second date? *eyebrow wiggle*
Ok JB if all your fabulous followers have not convinced you to go to Lake Powell by now, than nothing will! I have been twice, and they were 2 of the top 3 vacations I have ever taken (Europe was #1). So GO! And wear a bikini or sports bra and booty shorts. I second everything that everyone has written before me! You gotta get yourself some confidence outside of the gym and kitchen!
Now throw down with the date details already!
Love,
Mamma Clark
While I enjoy a couple feet-like beers here and there, I generally don’t have fun at the lake with my friends when the agenda is sitting around in the water, on the boat, at the lakehouse, etc. and drinking from dawn until dusk. A person can tote all the “stuff he/she likes” with him/her, but it still isn’t fun if everyone is smashed.
That said, if you think it sounds fun, go. There will be bros there with their shirts off, which I understand to be a plus in your book. Not so much mine, but we’re talking about you here…
Girl,
GO TO LAKE POWELL!!! Soak up some sun and just make yourself a fizzy water with lemon/lime/berries. It’ll look festive, taste great, and won’t leave you feeling crappy.
A fan in Utah, Kelly
P.S. You need to change your profile info. You are not a “really bad” dancer. I think you rock.
Well Ju….looks like you have a verdict here. And that would be TO GO. You know you will have me 🙂 and let’s be serious, that’s all you really need….
Love you and will bug you about this tonight until you own up and go, so looks like you minus well just bite the bullet early!
Hey JB you should totally go. You need a “PaleoOMG” swim suit. I am in the middle of a 6 week Paleo challenge (which ends on Saturday)so I have been seriously anti-social with my drinking pals, although I did go out one night for dinner and it was pretty funny to be the only one who knew what day it was! It was a blast to see other people unable to finish a sentence. Go have some fun, after Regionals you deserve to let your hair down. That salmon recipe looks awesome and will be on my menu next week, after I come out of my chocolate coma of course 🙂
Seriously?? If I had that body I would show up buck naked!!! I don’t drink much either and I’m sure it won’t be a problem for them if you don’t. Just tell them you’d rather eat your calories than drink them:)
Lake Powell is one of the most beautiful places on the earth. just sayin.
