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!

My only time in San Antonio was for basic training… and because of that, I hate TX with a passion… but definitely go down to the Riverwalk. Also……. please watch the lip sync battle between Channing Tatum and his wife…. she kills his version of “pony”! And he transforms into Beyonce. It’s awesome.
Omg! I’m so glad you brought the lip sync battle up! Julie, you have to watch it. I’m sure Channing is feeling pretty lucky himself 😉
it’s THE BEST. i can’t help but think about how awesome their bedroom life is
could i use almond flour instead of the arrow root?
sadly no
Hi Juli! It was providential that I woke up this morning and checked your site and found this delectable recipe. I just so happened to have all the ingredients on hand (which is amazing bc I never buy poppyseeds but I had bought them for your strawberry poppyseed dressing!) and whipped these up this morning. AMAAAAAAZING! My husband and I devoured them! The batter smells so good and the finished product is subtly sweet lemon poppyseed divinity. Thank you so much for this recipe!! xoxo
awesome!! that’s so great you got to try them so quickly!!
What a gorgeous stack of pancakes! I’ve made lemon poppy seed souffle but I definitely want to try some pancakes!
oooo i love the souffle idea!
Ok, first of all, I am SO sorry that you got so little sleep. Been there, and it totally sucks.
Next, I can also address the baby/gym thing. After having a kiddo, you’re wrecked tired until their sleep schedule gets more normal, then you have to learn how to get the logistics sorted to get to the gym, since many gyms don’t have child care and usually not for small children anyway (does your partner watch the kid and then you trade off so they can work out? Do you go during your lunch break? etc).
My little one was two before my husband and I got our parental sh*t together enough to allow regular gym-going again. I now go nearly every day (sooooo awesome!!!), but that’s just to get a work out in. No way I’d try to attend anything like a class, with a set start/stop time.
Any way you can substitute the eggs?
i haven’t tried making these without eggs so i’m not sure
This turned out so good! I heated the maple syrup & added lemon juice & butter to it for a nice tart lemony syrup. So good!
These were incredible!!!!! Even my 7yo devoured them!
awesome!! hope you loved them as much as your 7 year old!
I made these last Sunday and they were awesome. Very easy to make. The first round were a little flat but once I found a better temperature (higher) on the pan, the subsequent pancakes were more fluffy. We topped them with some maple syrup, blueberries and bananas. They were delightful!!
These are the best ever … My roommate and boyfriend loved them… Both boys hard to please on the paleo pancake department. New staple in our weekend breakfasts thank you!!!!! Also the Northface has an awesome athletic line … Mountain athletics the dynamix leggings are the pretty amazing.
