What uuuuup boo boo baby! I’m in Omaha right now, heading back to Colorado this afternoon and back to cuddling with my little pup. We headed out to Nebraska over the weekend to hang out with some family, watch some football and drink some alcohol. I had a bloody mary at 7pm the other day, it was wonderful. But I’m ready to be back home, back to workouts, and back to home cooked food.

But wait, before you go any further, I need you to do something for me. I need you to do Sunday’s workout. Your butt will hurt forever. I think mine is still sore after a week. It’s so great. So just do it. GO!

What I Ate in a Day:

This was a pretty normal day of eating for me, filled with recipes that I made for the blog and meals I just whipped up quickly for me and the guy. If you haven’t read my posts before, warning you now: I do eat dairy sometimes. No, it’s not paleo but it doesn’t upset my stomach or cause any inflammatory issues for me. I try not to overdo it because I can get addicted to cheese pretty quickly, but I have it for snacks and eat yogurt as well. I also eat some gluten free granola. Again yes, I know it’s not paleo, no need to let me know. I just try to listen to my body and not go overboard when eating those non paleo things. For me, it’s all about balance instead of restriction. That’s just what works for me!

7:30 am – Woke up, poured a glass of Stumptown iced coffee with milk and sugar and work on the blog to get the post ready to go up for everyone to see!

8:00 am – Ate a pumpkin apple streusel muffin. When I workout in the mornings, I like to have something in my stomach, but nothing too heavy like meat so I usually just eat 1/2 a larabar or a muffin if I’ve made those.

9:00 am – Thursday’s workout (see above)

10:30 am – By the time I’m done with a workout, I’m starving, so I usually have a small post workout snack to hold me over until lunch time. Sometimes I make a shake, but that day I ate 1/2 Noosa coconut yogurt with probably 2 tablespoons of Udi’s gluten free granola

10:30-12:30 – Blog work: emails, creating posts, editing posts, then more emails

12:30 am – Heated up a bowl of leftover truffle cauliflower soup and ate it with a few slices of smoked salmon

IMG_9300

12:30 – 3:00 pm – I made cupcakes for the blog (find them posted tomorrow). After making them, decorating, photographing them then cleaning the whirlwind of a kitchen mess I made, I ate one of the cupcakes. Here’s a crappy picture but any idea what this cupcake is? Clue: it’s halloween inspired!

IMG_9322

3:00 – 5:00 pm – Ran errands, did 4 loads of laundry throughout the night, then packed for my trip to Omaha. In the middle of all this, I snacked on 4-5 cubes of grass fed cheese.

7:00 pm – Mediterranean lamb skewers with roasted brussels sprouts and Sir Kensington’s special sauce. I found these skewers in Whole Foods on sale

    Hi Juli! What weight did you use for the Tuesday Fit Class workout? Thanks!

  4. Jill says:

    Juli, I did your workout from Sunday and holy balls! That’s all I can say. Well not really.. I’m not that concise with my words.

    I’ve been checking in to (A.K.A. first thing Monday morningyour Weekly Workouts post for the past couple of months for some added workout inspiration. I did crossfit for a while a few years back and slid back into a “traditional body building” style of workout (though I am SO NOT a body builder), but need a switch up in a serious way. I’ve done a number of your FitClass workouts or workouts you make up and share here on your weekly workouts posts and love them but this one… man… my butt! I did this Monday night and it’s Thursday morning and I’m still feeling it. Did I tell you I LOVE THAT?! Sore quads and gluts are my JAM. Keep ’em coming!

    1. juli says:

      saaaaame! who doesn’t love having sore butt and legs! so glad you’re enjoying the workouts!

    Hi!

    So exciting that you are getting married! I am also getting married next year. Was hoping you have a tip regarding crossfit training. I love it so much but I don’t want to have huge shoulders in my strapless wedding dress. Any tips?

    1. juli says:

      your shoulders will definitely change with CF, but everyone is different. i just usually go lighter if i’m feeling like they’re getting too big, but i personally like having shoulders that are a little more muscular than “normal”

    Love those pants. Where did you find them?
