Happy Monday, my little healthy worker-outers holiday weekend-ers. That made sense, right? Right. Are you working out today? You better be! No better way to start a holiday off than with a workout. That’s what I’ll be doing today; coaching a class at the gym then getting a workout in! Holidays are just better when they start with a workout.

This week was back to normal workouts at my CrossFit gym. It was so nice to get back to a normal routine, BUT I feel so out of shape. It’s amazing the type of strength you lose when you’re not doing it every day. I felt like I was in slow motion the entire week. And coming back to working out at altitude is literally the worst. I don’t know how people move here and still workout, breathing is impossible in Colorado. Now let’s get to workouts! And if you’re looking for a travel workout, check out the bottom of this post, I’ll be sharing at least one travel workout per week!

    Juli, thanks so much for taking the time to write out these workouts! So inspiring and helpful!

    Also… See “Hashtags”: http://www.vogue.com/13299678/instagram-rules-social-media/.

    “The #blessed hashtag is only acceptable when used ironically. Note: The #blessed hashtag used unironically (e.g., an image of a green juice with the caption “#greenjuice #cleanliving #lovemylife #healthy #gogreen #blessed #soblessed”) is a clear indicator that you should unfollow that girl and avoid her in real life at all costs.”

    #TRUTH!

    Love the weekly workout posts. They’re my favorite!! Also a question: after you stopped lifting heavy and restricting your eating, how long did it take for your body and appetite to change? I am really trying to do the same and am inspired by your story, but I am anxious that I will just lose muscle and gain fat. Thanks!

      it’s taken over 2 years to get to a body composition i’m happy with! i don’t think i really restrict my eating, i’m more lenient now than i was when I was competing in CrossFit.

        Thank you so much for the reply! (and excuse my poor sentence structure! I did mean when you *stopped* restricting your eating as well as stopped lifting as heavily!)
