Yesterday was effing rough. I haven’t hated the world that much in a loooong time. I’m usually a pretty positive person. I have my time of the month where I become Satan, but other than that, I’m good. But yesterday, no go. Satan was screaming out of my body. Not because it was that time of the month, but because I slept 1.5 hours. Not cool. And after sleeping 1.5 hours, I had to head to the gym at 5:30am, in the freezing cold and then act enthused to be there while my coffee went cold in 3 minutes. And then the coffee shop was closed. Acting is challenging when you suck at acting, you haven’t slept and the one coffee shop in walking distance is closed. I almost lost my mind.
I remember when I first started this blog and was working at 4 or 5 CrossFit gyms, getting up at 4am going to bed by 12 or 1am, all while doing 2-3 workouts per day. And I was functioning rather well. Sure, my cortisol was shot and my body was shutting down, but I was still kicking it. Nowadays, no way in hell could I do that. Is that how you know that you’re getting old? Is this why I see people at the gym have babies then stop going to the gym? Because they aren’t sleeping anymore and wouldn’t even be able to stand at the gym, let alone workout? Add that to my having-a-baby cons list. I wonder if any pros will ever sneak on there someday. I wonder.
Speaking of having babies, I finally saw Magic Mike XXL for the first time and jeeeeeez was that dirty. Are male strippers actually like this? Wait, are male strippers actually straight, ripped and charming like that? Because the strip clubs I’ve been to (only female) are not like that. No where was charm involved when I saw women take off their clothes. Did you just think about how lucky Channing Tatum’s wife is while watching that movie? She’s my woman crush Wednesday…if it were Wednesday. Did you see her at the Golden Globes? Dayuuuuuum Gina.
So guess what? As you’re reading this, I’m on a flight to San Antonio. Yessirrybob. Never been to San Antonio. I honestly don’t even know where it’s located in Texas. I just know it’s south of me. Nice Juli, nice. But I’m super pumped to head out there because I’m staying at my friend’s house, Cassy of Fed and Fit, to work on a little project together. This project includes photos and videos so I’m packing probably 10+ outfits for 2 days. Overboard? Sure. But totally worth it. Can’t wait to show you guys what we are working on!

Girl… I need a Juli’s OpEd on this season’s Bachelor stat. I know you have thoughts on it! Please share! 🙂
omg i was so tired last night that i didn’t even remember it was the second episode. i’ll get on that ASAP and give you my recap lol
I was going to say the same thing- where is the bachelor commentary ????. There is certainly enough drama and crazies already. I think my favorite thing when watching are my husband’s random comments and anger that the show is playing in the house. He commonly says ” how can you watch this stuff?” with a disappointed shake of the head.
Haha too funny! I totally watched Magic Mike XXL this past weekend too and was thinking the same thing, although the opening shot of Joe had me like whoa, Sofia is a lucky woman as well!
Enjoy my hometown this weekend! And yes, definitely give us an OpEd stat on the Bachelor. Anyone else think that Lace resembles Sarah Silverman’s evil twin???
SA has the best food ever, enjoy!
Can’t wait to try these! SA has some great food. I lived there for 3 years, and definitely miss it. If you have a chance, make sure to get some carne guisada (so yummy) and try to see the Riverwalk at night (really pretty).
Sleep deprivation definitely effs with your mind! My son is just over a year old and was a terrible sleeper for a long ass time. You’re right, having a baby changes your priorities BUT of course you can still work out! If you decide to have a baby someday, you can blog about how to be a fit mama, inspire thousands of peeps, and win a major award. See? Problem solved 😉
Please please please tell me you have seen the Lip Sync battle with Channing and his wife? She does a Magic Mike and it is amazing. Then he is Beyonce. Too good.
yesssssss! the best!!
Julie-the days of cold coffee can be over for you! Go to amazon.com and look up corckcicle. The info states it can keep hot drinks hot for a ridiculous amount of time-like 12 hours or something-but it WORKS. I make coffee at 430AM and don’t drink it until i get to work at around 8AM and it’s STILL HOT EVERYTIME. I haven’t tried out cold drinks yet, but it will change your life! Definitely worth checking out. Enjoy San Antonio!
I want to add a scoop of protein powder to these. How can I adjust the recipe to do that or should I just add the protein powder in addition to the other dry ingredients and just add more almond milk as necessary? Thanks!
I, too, have been waiting for your Bachelor commentary! Get your priorities straight! 😉
