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.
I would have to say that the acquisition of your new favorite blog stalker (that’d be me in case you weren’t paying attention) cured you of your obsessive side for the week…i mean honestly, Ghostrider and rants about cats will obviously fix any OCD tendencies. I’m a licensed health care professional, i know these things. If the enchiladas are half as good as those damn crackberry muffins, I might even buy you dinner.
F*ckin cats
OK, when I grow up, I want your arms, Juli!!! They totally rock!
I’m with you on the mandoline, thing….cut myself slicing lemons, then a couple years later, slicing sweet potatoes….. I’m seriously cut off from it!
Lol thanks Amy, and please don’t ever cut yourself cutting lemons. No bueno
Ha! I was a swimmer too and i remember eating that same crap!!! LOL. What were we thinking?!?!?
Also, just this past october i cut my thumb using a mandolin slicer…took of the corner of my right hand thumb…so not good and i still have some nerve sensitivity in it. Pretty sure i should have a warning pasted on me saying i’m no good at using knives and other sharp objects…go me!
Lol I’m the same way, I ALWAYS cut myself. You’re not alone
You’ve just changed my life – I thought I’d never eat a donut again!
Lol Heather has changed your life, she’s amazing
I’m thinking about trying to go like maybeee a day without chocolate… is it hard? I haven’t not eaten it in some form in probably months and I don’t like having an addiction so I’m trying to break it. Anyways, hope the open workout goes well for you! Im not signed up but randomly yesterday I decided to do a 7 minute burpee (sorry I said it) challenge on my own, then later that day I found out it was the open WOD- weird!
It’s pretty hard, I dream about chocolate walnuts a lot. I hope you kicked ass in the burpees!!
What is that pink headband you’re wearing in the picture? I love it and need one!
Lululemon!!
I feel your pain on the mandoline, Juli. I sliced my finger open on the food processor blade last week…had to get stitches and everything. It pretty much sucked, but the stitches do make me look like a bad ass.
Just wanted to say I LOVE your blog and am excited I found it. I’m right in the middle of a Whole30 and your recipes have been amazing. I had the Pesto Chicken Pasta last night and it was delicious. Now I’m eagerly waiting for the enchilada recipe next week!
Thanks for letting us peep into your life and for sharing your wonderful food – you’re awesome!!!
BURPEES!
No thank YOU for commenting Many, you’re awesome and I really appreciate hearing from people like you. Keep being awesome 🙂
STILL NO CHOCOLATE!? So sad.
Still none. I dreamt about it today. day dreaming while driving.
holy balls those dougnuts look amazing.
how many burpees did you get Juli??? inquiring minds want to know…
I got 113 TyTy, can we hang out soon? Inquiring minds want to know.
You cut yourself on your mandolin too?! Luckily eating clean allows for quicker healing, as I only had soreness for about 24 hours and it’s closing up quickly. 6 months ago this would have hurt for a while…
And I’m looking forward to the sweet potato enchilada recipe. I can’t ask you out, but I will say thanks in advance!
Lol you’re great Brent, I’ll still post the recipe for ya
