I’m becoming obsessed with HGTV.
So it’s weird being back in a normal globo gym. I’ve been comfortable with my Crossfit gym for 3 years now. I’ve met some of my best friends in those gyms I’ve worked and worked out in. But I was never really hit on at any of those gyms. Probably because I was screaming at those guys about pushing their knees out during their squats or maybe because I just don’t ooze sex appeal. Either way, my Crossfit gyms haven’t been filled with creeps. Well, I’m experiencing the creepy side again. During spin class. The last thing I want to do is speak during spin class, let alone talk to some large male who screams creep with shorts that are similar to boxers. Loose boxers. No one should spin in those. Globo gyms are weird.
Instagram is funny. And intense. Most food pictures I post, people have something to say about them. Especially since I call myself paleo, but I don’t abide by paleo “standards”. Since I make desserts, or because I eat corn sometimes, or since I drink alcohol, or because I use a microwave. I just like to live life on the edge. I really don’t mind that people sometimes hate me for what I eat, especially because it’s very interesting to see how many different opinions there are out there, but geeeeeeez do people have opinions. Like, really intense opinions. Then people fight each other about a picture I posted. And all hell breaks loose. Not really. But people, stop getting angered by my food. It’s delicious. No wait, get mad. It’s kind of fun.
Guess what else is fun? I head to California today. Yep, another trip. Thankfully I had a little over a week to recover from my trip to D.C., so now I’m heading to the west coast instead. Which is honestly one of my favorite places to visit. I thought about living in California for a long time, but Colorado is too close to my heart. So instead, I’ll be heading out there regularly to work on a project. It’s exciting. I’ll tell you about it later, though. Pinky swear promise.

You’re so great! I love your food. Yum yum! Where in Cali?
San Diego!
I just moved to San Diego like three days ago. Let me know if you want a running or spin partner while you’re in town!
Your blog always cracks me up. I don’t know about you, but I have more important things to do than fight with someone online about about what someone else is eating. Sheesh people. Make the delicious squash pancakes and leave good enough alone!
Really sick of people who are miserable and try to spread their stinky attitudes to those of us who are happy, having fun, and enjoying life. Maybe they should step away from their phone or computer and get outside for some fresh air! 😉 LOVE CA and jealous!
I was listening to a pod cast yesterday with Mark Sisson and Abel James. Mark is like a founding father of Paleo. He had some inspirational words that I think apply to people who mock your version of the diet. Basically, you do what you can for you if it works. Paleo is just a word. There are guidelines not rules.
I think you should call your style – “Juli’s Paleo Diet” because it works for you and it is as Paleo as you make it! 🙂
I love reading the comments on your IG posts.
“Is that Paleo?”
“Why did you eat that?”
“Can you have ____ on Paleo??”
“THAT IS NOT PALEO”
hahaha!
Are you going to be near San Francisco during your trip to CA? If so, you must must visit TJ’s Gym in San Rafael!! You have many fans there! Just making your breakfast lasagna w chorizo now so it’s ready for the am. One of my faves. And these squash pancakes look awesome. You rock!
Perfect timing I have two zucchini that are close to death in the fridge and I was about to google a recipe for them. I think its the internet this week, every blogger I follow seems to have people harping on at them for having opinions. Everyone needs to chill out and let other be. Thanks for the recipe!
These were great! Thanks for posting fun recipes so I’ll actually eat my veggies. Also, bump those haters! I refer fitness lovin’ people to your site all the time and all have positive things to say 🙂
