I feel so pale!! Well, that’s probably because I am. Damn the winter in Colorado. Even if the sun is pretty much always shining, I still am kind of a creepy color. And seeing my pale self working out in a competition this weekend kind of grossed me out. I just want to have a nice bronze going on. Being tan makes you look more buff. I want to be more buff. Therefore better at CrossFit. Yep, being tan makes you stronger. I just know it.
Speaking of buff people, I competed in a little CrossFit competition this weekend at CrossFit Eminence. Lindsey and her husband Kris did a fantastic job with this competition. It ran smoothly, had some awesome wods programmed, and had super cool athletes competing. Great Saturday. But something did suck. Well, it was the usual suckiness of CrossFit events…No.Single.Dudes. What the hell is that about!? There was one guy I found pretty attractive, then I turned around at some point and he was getting a child strapped to his chest. WHATTHEF*CKISTHAT?! Why do all you attractive men have babies?! Ugh.
Anywho, since there was no chance of me hanging out with a single dude, (especially since I smelt like a dump truck after the competition) I just grabbed a guacamole burger with sweet potato tator tots from Jake’s and ate until I literally couldn’t put anymore food or even water in my gut. I usually can’t eat during competitions because I’m so nervous so dinner was balls to the walls. So I had to fast on Sunday to cleanse the gut. I lasted until I had to start making some Super Bowl food to get you guys all ready to go for the big game. We all know I’m sure as hell not watching it. The only reason I knew the Super Bowl was almost here was because of Laura. You can thank her for the fun treats on the way this week. SUPERBOWLFOODYEAH!
I drank 3 coconut waters in 2 days this weekend. I got some sugar bloat going on. SUGARBLOATBABYYEAH!
Wanna know how lucky I am. Just look below.

i love your site and recipes! and your no-single-guys rants. i feel you, that is totally me too!
Lol effing the lack of single guys!! Thanks for checking out my site Amy!!
Thawing some chicken sausage already and wondering what to do with it. Now I know, thanks Juli!
Correction on your no single dudes complaint… No single dudes your age (maybe..I’ll explain that in a minute). I had the real pleasure of talking to you for a few minutes between events and I’m single but I’m pretty sure I was the oldest Rx division guy there!
Also, you’re extremely attractive, a CrossFit BA and usually surrounded by those CF Broadway beasts. Might be a bit intimidating for the younger guys to make the approach (of course, we older guys aren’t as easily intimidated 🙂 )
Anyway, congratulations on a great, impressive performance!
Hahaha Aaron, awesome job this weekend!! It was great to see you compete and to get to chat with you!! I do get to hang out with some studly dudes from Broadway. And thank you 🙂
Made and devoured this last night. F’in awesome! Thank buddha, or whoever your god is, for Juli Bauer 🙂
Glad you liked it Aaron!!

Wow. I just happened to stumble into your blog. And all I gotta say is if your recipes are as good as your are funny, then you got a repeat blog reader. Cheers!
Haha yay!! I hope i have a repeat reader from you!! Thanks for checking my blog out 🙂
Juli! I’m a regular follower of yours, often reading aloud your posts to the husband. By the looks of it, you’re using the new camera; the photos definitely look better. We made the overstuffed burgers of yours on Friday and have thus declared every Friday burger night. Accompanied by the most ridiculously huge plate of sweet potato fries imaginable. You rock.
hahaha glad you noticed Meaghan! Thank you for that!! Burger night…genius!! You rock Meaghan!! Thanks for the awesome comment!
that’s it! stronger with a tan ;). even us NoCal girls are white as the whiteboard these days … love the recipe & the post! ~jgirl
Thanks so much Jgirl!!
Way to kick ass this weekend Juli!
You’re so wonderful Mike 🙂
Love the web site, the rants and the recipes Juli. Going to attempt the Mexican Hash Egg Bake this weekend! Any paleo recipes for the Sweet Potato Tater Tots? They sounded great as an alternative to SP fries.
I’ve been trying to think up some sweet potato tots. Hopefully soon I’ll have a recipe for that!! Keep your fingers crossed!
