I woke up early this morning ready to write this blog post, but as soon as I opened my computer I lost the motivation. I’m dealing with some personal stuff from the weekend and it’s hard to separate it today. So instead, I just put some pumpkin pie in the oven at 6 this morning and I’m going to keep this post short today so I can keep my mind occupied and work on some recipes in hopes of turning my mood around!

Juli,
Many of us have come here for a pick me or inspiration, so I am hoping to return the favor. Hopefully your personal stuff is resolvable and life returns to what seems to be its normal bright and cheerful self for you.
In the meantime, know how much your work inspires those who read it, keep doing what you do. I look forward to your next recipe, and am now brainstorming ways to satisfy this impromptu craving for pumpkin pie. The power of suggestion is strong!
thanks so much for the love, lance! i really appreciate you leaving such a kind comment! i have an amazing pumpkin pie recipe coming your way this thursday!!
Sometimes you just need to mentally, emotionally take a time out. So just do that today, give yourself some self care and good distraction. Then you can come back to the issue hopefully in a better light. And better able to deal with it. If that is even possible in your situation. I just hope to give you a boost of inspiration/motivation like you give me so very often. I tend to over analyze, over worry then my anxiety kicks itself in high gear, and I just need to basically put myself in time out away from everything. Which it woulds like your doing today. Give Jackson extra snuggles and wishing you the best.
thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment, maria! jackson and i snuggled HARD yesterday! xoxo
Hi! Hope everything is ok. Love your recipes, love your workouts–do a travel one every Sunday on my porch with kids losing their minds, but it gets done–love your podcast. Because you mentioned wanting to go there someday… I lived in NZ for two years. I highly recommend a visit. You need at least 2 weeks, though. Your husband must go with you. That is just not negotiable. Please let me know if you ever go. I would love to send you some tips–there are many. It can be very touristy if you don’t know kinda what to do and what to weed out.
i would definitely take him with, now we just need to figure out how to get him 2 weeks off of work haha! i can’t wait to go there some day!
I recently tried Orange Theory because I have seen you mention it, and I am in love with it! Thank you for sharing!!! I sometimes struggle in fluctuating 6 pounds and getting rid of it can be so hard. But it is a game changer in how I feel and the way my clothes fit. I know I should eat a little smaller meals. But when I have those intense workouts I’m STARVING! I eat dinner at 6:00 with my kids but by 9:00- I”m hungry and that will kill me. Any tips?
i would recommend trying to eat a bigger dinner! if i find myself hungry before bedtime, it’s usually because i didn’t eat enough at dinner, so i just up my calories and i’m good!
Question! I know you have a few blog posts on your journey with no longer counting calories… I just don’t know what to search in order to find the posts! Could you share the links with me? I am currently in the process of *trying* to take the leap in to no longer calorie counting, but it is a little scary since I have been doing it for so long! Any support and resources I can find I am eagerly soaking up! 🙂 Thanks, Juli.
oh man, it’s in so many different posts. i talk about it here https://paleomg.com/weekly-workouts-before-and-after-photos/ and in this podcast https://paleomg.com/portion-control-episode-26-paleomg-uncensored/ I hope that helps!
Thank you SO much!!!
Hi Juli – I just wanted to say that I LOVE your podcast and laugh every time you ask who the hell listens to it. I would listen to it everyday. It’s refreshing to hear your opinions etc. About alcohol, fitness, lifestyle and you’re hilarious. Often times I’ve felt like an outcast because I just don’t like drinking or I order a certain way off the menu etc and while I would anyways hearing your mentality makes me feel like I have a friend out there who gets it. I also think what you’re doing business wise and your independence in traveling etc are super inspiring and bad ass.
awwwwww that is AMAZING!! thank you so much for the support and for listening! so glad i can be a positivity in your life in some way!
Thank you so much for your inspiration. I will now admit I stole your buffalo chicken chili recipe as my own at the last Bronco tailgate haha 🙂
Thanks again my workouts are so much more productive now!!
yay!! steal away!! hope you enjoy many more recipes in the future!
