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.
Bought a mandoline last week and promptly sliced my finger. Ouch. Add that to the cracks in my fingers that never heal in the winter. Love your blog. I’m 55 days into paleo. Going to add back dark chocolate next month…
I cut my finger EVERY TIME. 55 days paleo?! That’s freaking awesome!! Good luck with the chocolate, you can totally do it!
Are you also excluding raw cacao powder? And how firm are you on the “single” requirement?
Yes I am. Lol pretty firm haha
So, I’ve only done CrossFit like twice in my life, and one of my friends dragged me along with her this morning, after my spin class, promising me it would “be easy” because it was “just an intro class”. Lucky for me the trainers were INSANE and made me do the 7 minute burpee challenge. Let’s say I’m not in a hurry to go back anytime soon 🙂
Lol it’s not for everyone Emily. Either way, you did 7 min of burpees and you’re officially a badass!
So how many did you do???? Burpees suck. I did one this morning just to be a part of the whole thing. It sucked. Then, I rowed, which sucked even more…
I ended up doing 113 Tom. Rowing blows. Reaaally bad.
Nice. From what I can tell, anything over 100 by someone not 5’1″ and 99 lbs is really solid work.
Lol I dont know about that Tommy poo
I would like to insist you never stop writing such crazy, hilarious posts. Seriously. You make my day.
You don’t know how much I appreciate you saying that Meredith. Really 🙂
I love your blogging! Just discovered this site not too long ago and find myself cracking up! I would rather read this than work, so I do. 🙂 So let me be the first to say I love burpees! I love them so much that I voluntarily did them yesterday for 7 minutes instead of the posted WOD. Turns out, I only love the first 10, then something goes terribly wrong! I thought I loved them? Love is too strong of a word. Maybe it is that I don’t hate them if it is under 50. Ya, that is probably it.
Hahahaha I love that Teri, I agree with you. 10+ burpees just gets along the lines of sucking
I hear ya, I always chop my thumbnail off when I’m chopping potatoes.
Dislike!
Holy crap, both of those recipes sound AMAZING. & those dresses, hoe-ish or not, are hot! I wish I had your tan!! Pretty sure I’m gonna go make those Paleo doughnuts right now…oh, wait. I don’t have a doughnut pan. Crap. Cool top pic, btw.
I wish I had a donut pan too. Poop
i have nightmares about cutting myself with my mandolin. i am not joking. worst fear.
love your blog.
It blows. Thanks for reading Emily!
OK I’m gonna get over my fear of looking stupid and just ask: What’s a WOD? And what the hell is a burpee???
WOD is workout of the day. And a burpee is an awful movement of getting your body all the way on the ground in lying position then jumping yourself up. Just google ‘crossfit burpee’!
