I don’t think I have an obsessive side this week. Not sure why. It’s disappointing. I do want a donut though. Maybe I should look into Multiply Delicious paleo donut recipe. I love her. She’s a genius. Donuts are just gorgeous. I miss the days I used to eat a dozen donuts at my swim meet while snacking on nerds and nachos. Ok, not really. I slightly hate my mother for letting me ever consume that crap. Just kidding mom, I don’t hate you. I know I was a demon child.
Wow, that was off track. And now I’m salivating. What a gross word.
Anyways. So instead of obsessing over my obsessions, let’s chat about my week.
- The CrossFit Open began. The first wod is 7 minutes of burpees. Burpees are burpees. They always suck. No matter what. But the thing that actually sucks about this wod is that EVERYONE is posting about it on their Facebook status. Everyone. I get it people, you hate burpees. F*ck burpees. Buck furpees. I get it. You can stop facebooking it. I can’t even log on to Facebook without seeing the word ‘burpees’ over 67 times. Kind of like this sentence.
- I’ve decided that I really want the baby hair on the top of my head to grow. COME ON HAIR. You’re not a child. Stop acting like one.
- I made enchiladas out of sweet potatoes. Genius. And effing delicious. Don’t worry, the recipe will be on the blog next week. The picture kind of sucks though, but trust me, totally worth making. You’ll love life. And me. Then you’ll ask me out on a date, if you are a male, and SINGLE.
- This is some cool sh*t. I was very lucky to watch a ton of my athletes do a 30 day paleo challenge and absolutely rock it. Not only did everyone lose weight, but EVERYONE lost inches AND took time off their ‘Jackie’ wod. Sooooo sooooo cool. To change your body in just 30 days is pretty unbelievable. And to see everyone loving how they feel and wanting to stick with eating paleo is music to my ears. CrossFit Broadway, you’re amazing. So incredibly proud of all of you!
- I cut myself using a mandoline. Then got orange juices in it. I hate how slowly my brain works at times. Especially when knives are involved.
- I haven’t eaten chocolate in almost a week. I haven’t even missed it. What’s that about? I thought I would dream about it. I did make sticky apples bars though. Guess you’ll have to check back next week for that recipe. BOOM.
- I spent a lot of time with my roommates. They are both so amazing. And single. A house of 3 single ladies. How much fun is that?! OMGfun.
Guess what today is?! One of my best friend’s bday!! My lovely Sarah is 25 today and looking adorable as ever. Sarah may love food as much as I do so obviously, we have a deep connection. Tonight we will be celebrating with hopefully some dancing. Want to see us before the Ke$ha concert last year? That included a lot of dancing. And looking much messier than this picture portrays.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!
Thanks for reading this over the top random post! kthanksbye.
1. I love sweet potatoes
2. I love enchiladas
3. I love to cook and I love Crossfit
4. I cannot wait to see that recipe because this is my new go-to spot for every meal of the day
5. I am single
6. How about that date?
I like you, you make lists. Numbered lists are legit. I don’t know if I can date someone via the internet though. Until I have to turn to internet dating sites…that’s next month though
i noticed you’ve been asked out thrice (i heard that word used today and was determined to use it myself) just in the comments to this post.
note to self: post pictures of myself dancing on my blog…
seriously jb, you rock. i love reading your blog and you’re an AMAZING cook. and athlete. thanks for sharing…
Lol it’s easy to have courage over the internet. Will you go on a date with me Katie!? Boom. Thanks so much for checking out my blog AND commenting, you are awesome!
I cut my little toe today. I had just done the dishes and a knife fell from the dishes rack on to my toe. I’m serious! Like, what are the chances of that? 1 in 1,000? I did 12.1 WOD too. I’m not saying the ‘B’ word! haha. I made your egg-to-go muffins though and they’re real yum. Thanks for the laughs and the good food! Jules from Sydney, Australia!
Holy balls, that’s one of my greatest fears, I’ve been damn close before. Frightening. Thanks for checking out my site!
I am so amped for the sweet potato enchiladas!! My husband and I are scraping the bottoms of our bowls after just finishing your Paleo Creamy Chicken Chili (seconds, I might add). Hmmm…so good.
You are a genius.
Congrats on 113 burpees! Very strong! Best of luck in the Open!
Just you wait, they were delicious!! Glad you liked the chili!
Julie….I’m sending you a donut pan! You don’t have one? You so need one! 🙂 If anything it will be your reward for 113 burpees! Wow! You are my idol!
Lol I really do need a donut pan. And thanks so much Heather, never doing that wod again lol
Your blog posts flippin’ crack me up. Your chocolate obsession is about as bad as my Reese’s addiction. I get all jolly just thinking about them…haha. I’m not one to ask someone out over the internet, so I’m flying out to Colorado to ask you out on a date. I’m probably a year or two younger, though. Dangit. Anyways, single problem solved. You’re welcome.
Lol jolly. I like that. That would be a long ways to travel just to ask someone out on a date. And I’m not really good at the whole dating thing. I can usually out eat my date and that’s intimidating to most.
Out eat? Pleassse. Challenge accepted haha. However, I don’t find it intimidating that a girl will actually eat more than half a breadstick and a tiny salad (don’t ask me why I picked those two things…I guess I’m thinking of Olive Garden). Oh, and I’m not good at the whole dating dealio either…so it is quite all right. It’s a curse, I suppose.
I’m not sure I understand the difference between ‘reading the blog’ and ‘reading random samples’ since in the end, you’re visiting the PaleOMG site and reading posts. However, I do get that everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.
Juli, I (along with many others) love your humor, recipes, and good attitude. I’ve tried two of your recipes now and they’re delicious! The only help needed is to get your next post up ASAP. 🙂
You’re awesome Lara, thanks for being so wonderful 🙂
Juli,
Your writing is amazing! I love the constant stream of conscience, really Falkner like! Keep up the great work, keep the reciepes coming, and keep rocking the game WOD’s. I just hit my 1 year mark with CrossFit and primal and will never look back to my 315# days. My wife loves the new me! You can thank Damon for turning me on to PaleOMG!
That’s freaking awesome Bruce, keep up the good work! And thank you so so much for your kind words, you have no idea how much it means to me when I hear something like that 🙂
I cuz myself crazy bad on a mandolin slicer once!! Right on my pinky, that bitch bled like crazy. Though I kept telling everyone “At least my finger chunk stuck to the mandolin!! I still got to eat my food!”
