I’m so glad I have a picture of me stuffing my face. Ian, one of the greatest guys ever, took a balls ton of pictures on Sunday for my cookbook. This is one of them. Can’t wait for you all the see them!! You’re the best Ian!
So I get requests regularly for putting up blog posts about what I eat in a day. You all are very curious little humans, aren’t you? I understand. I’m the same way, but instead of wondering what people eat, I am always curious to what people’s personal lives are like. Like their relationships. Everyone seems perfect among their friends, but when they’re alone with each other, you know they have to fight. Or at least I hope they do so I can feel happier about being alone.
Anywho.
Yesterday was a REALLY good day. I had only slept probably an hour or two on Sunday night because I was worried about someone beating the sh*t out of my car again. So Monday night, I got in bed by 8pm and slept until about 7am. Awesome. Good sleep makes everything better. When I don’t sleep enough, I become an emotional, erratic mess. Believe me, I’m dramatic. So sleep made me less omgitsthattimeofthemonth crazy. That me sucks ass.
So here is what my day looked like. Believe me, it’s not exciting.
- 7am- wake up time!
- 7-9am- worked on emails.
- 9am- went to favorite neighborhood coffee shop where I started my morning off with an almond milk dirty chai (shot of espresso is what makes it dirty).
- Worked on a project for another website from 9-11am.
- Had breakfast at 11am. I usually have breakfast WAY earlier, but since I slept for so long and was getting over being an emotional train wreck, I just wasn’t hungry. My breakfast included shredded chicken, some leftover acorn squash, and 1/4 of an avocado with a bit of balsamic vinegar drizzled on top.
- Worked on cookbook from 11am-1pm.
- Went to the gym where I did 3×5 back squat (PR yay!), 15 min. on the min. every min. of 2 high hang squat snatch, then did a 5 rounder with 10 overhead squats and 10 toes to bar. Jason PR’d on his squat too!! We did the same weight. Obviously.
- At 3pm I had lunch which included a leftover pork chop, leftover acorn squash, and a 1/4 of an avocado.
- Then I headed on over to a different coffee shop down the street to work on my cookbook from 3-5pm, where I got YET ANOTHER almond milk chai (not dirty style this time). I know, I know. Do you know the sugar content in chai JB?? Yes, yes I do. Thank you for worrying about me.
- Coached from 5:30-7:30.
- Ate dinner at 8pm. Laura made dinner and fed me. Some spaghetti squash, chicken, bacon and some pesto!
- Then I got a little silly. I had 2 tablespoons of Nikki’s Coconut Butter.
- Then I might have had about 10-20 chocolate covered peanuts/almonds. Damn you Sarah. Damn you emotions. Damn you vagina. I don’t even have a picture of it all because I ate them so fast.
- I then tried to eat some pumpkin ice cream, but it sat in the ice cream maker for too long so it was frozen solid. And I wasn’t up to work that hard.
I then watched the second episode of New Girl. I missed the first one. Damn you work.
OMGILOVENEWGIRL. I wish I could watch it every single damn day. Did you watch The Mindy Project after New Girl. That’s sh*ts funny!! OMGILOVEMINDYPROJECT.
You kill me, and I look forward to laughing at your posts!! I feel like I wrote it – (and judging by people’s comments – they feel the same way!)
I have a cooking question dear! – I don’t have acorn squash, but my husband decided, let’s buy a butternut squash when we went to the farmers market. Since i’ve never even tasted one, I was wondering if your recipe would work with butternut squash?
And coconut butter is sick! And I have never had the Nikki’s but I heard it’s crazy good!!!! I need to detox – i’ve been making way too many sweets (cause you keep posting them :)))) ….
So back to butternut…. what do you think?
Oh, and your arms are JACKED!!!!!!!!!!! Love those pics!!!
Thanks Juli!
Hi Lilli,
I made Julie’s recipe with butternut squash just this weekend and it was great! It’s a little more watery than the acorn would have been, but the flavors work well. Give it a try!
Thank you Dani. I’ll try it out tonight! I wonder if you can sweat that like you can with zucchini or eggplant?? Anyone know?
Oh, btw, you’re pumpkin granola is like crack. !! I make double batches and they don’t last 3 days in my house!
i’m glad i’m not the only one who eats breakfast late. my belly just doesn’t want food before 10 am, so i usually have my tea and a big cup of coconut water mixed with my l-glutamine and probiotics. yummy shit right ther.
1. Dirty chai is where it’s at.
2. New Girl is also where it is at and you can find episode 1 on Hulu!!
You’re awesome, JB.
Stop it with the food pictures because this type of post is like my own version of porn. Truly. 🙂
I love the Mindy Project. But I may be biased due to the anme as I’ve never seen the show. My Mindy Project involves me being healthier and happier. 🙂
I have been following you and making some of your receipes for a few weeks now. First, I want to tell you how much my family LOVES when I make your stuff. Second, you have inspired me to do a modified WOD from home 5-6 days a week. I love it! I am even considering joining our local crossfit. Lastly, you are so real and so freaking funny! Thanks for putting yourself out there!
that’s FREAKING AWESOME Joy! Congratulations!
You have a white couch? That is insane, I would be able to keep that clean for like .3 seconds.
yeah…..that’s definitely not my couch
OMG THANK YOU! I just sent a link of this blog to my husband. I am sure he already read it though. 🙂 He loves you and cooks from it all the time! Anyways… I apologized again for my pre period, Vegas sleep deprived state of mind I had the other day.
Hopefully he will see that the coolest girl also has days and will forgive me.
