I’m out of my funk!! I changed up my schedule a little bit, went shopping at World Market, ordered an adorable purple jacket on The Clymb, painted my nails, had a crazy hard workout, ate some leftover gluten free pizza, and just smiled. I’m pretty good at getting out of funks, mostly because I really don’t like being in a bad mood, so I just snapped out of it. Yay.
But let’s talk about this crazy hard workout I did yesterday. I don’t blab too much about every workout I do, but when it’s worth talking about and worth trying, I talk. So yesterday at CrossFit Broadway we had a workout that went like this:
Every Minute on the Minute for 24min: ( alternating)
Min 1: 200/175 m Row
Min 2: 6 Power Snatch (135/95)
Min 3: 15 Wall Ball
You barely get any rest between the row and snatch, then the snatches get extremely hard, then your legs start to get more and more tired each round. At least mine did. It was just so hard. You’re 3 rounds in and cussing up a storm. At least I did. I love workouts like that, to the point and miserable. You should try it. Do it.
Wanna hear something interesting? Ok good. So I got this email yesterday about sending in a casting video to be part of a reality show about being part of the growing internet/blogging world. I tried to first picture what my casting video would be like, and second what a reality show with me in it would be like. I don’t think I have that much to offer. I mean, as I write this, I’m sitting on the table in my living room, watching E! network about celebrities and heading to the gym to coach soon. And that’s pretty much my day: Grocery shop, cook, eat, workout, eat, blog, social media, emails (I hate emails), piece of chocolate, sometimes wash my hair, coaching, dinner, and watch my favorite shows. That’s what it looks like. I’m pretty happy with my life but it doesn’t really make for good tv. The only thing that would be cool to watch is how swollen my feet get when I drink alcohol. Wait, my feet are totally ugly so I take that back. I got nothing. And if I have nothing worth watching, they would create something, wouldn’t you think?
I really want to do this with with my Coffee Cake Banana Bread. Yep. That looks to die for. How Sweet It Is never stops amazing me. I CANNOT WAIT until her cookbook comes out! I don’t give a crap that it’s not paleo. I know the photography in her cookbook is going to be jaw dropping.
PS- I’M SO EXCITED MY COOKBOOK IS FINISHED!!

I love your recipes and got my library to get a copy of your cookbook in. Now it’s borrowed so much I hardly see it. (I’m saving up to buy my own copy.)
And I’d love to see a show with you in it but not sure reality tv… maybe a paleo cooking show? with guests and guest recipes. Or maybe just a blog with videos. 🙂
Looking forward to trying this recipe. Not sure I could eat a whole spoon though.
I would totally watch you on a reality show!!
Yessssss this looks amazing!
I just want to say, you made my dad with this recipe. This looks and sounds unbelievably tasty!
Oh. My. Goodness.
OMG!!! I’m totally making this this weekend!!!
Juli- You should totally go on the reality TV show! I bet your application video would be hilarious and I think you could offer some realistic insight on what it’s like to be part of a internet/blogging world! That when it comes down to it, your routine is not what might be expected but it still works well for you. Everyone comes from a different background and yours is unique too! Plus, it would be great advertising for your site and cookbooks, and would spread the word about paleo and how delicious it can be! Go for it! Also this recipes sounds delicious!
ANNNNDDDD….I’m making this tonight. 😀
I’m with you. I love the workouts that straight up kick my ass then let me go home. The long EMOMs like that. I dig them!
Just bought your 1st book at Crossfit Sanitas in Boulder. I’m loving it! I bought it and a pair of sexy yoga pants from Prana to reward myself for sticking with Crossfit & Paleo for 2 months! Yay!
I’ve made MANY of your dessert recipes, and they get rave reviews from my friends! Thank you!
