Weekly Workouts + What I Ate in a Day

Well gooooooood morning! It’s about 5:30am over here this lovely Monday and I’m feeling a bit slow, but it’s time to raise hell and get to work! I leave town for Dallas on Thursday so all I can really do at this point is work my butt off to make sure everything is ready to go for you guys! I’m nervous about it because not long after I get back, I leave town again and then once more. Which means I have A LOT of podcasts to record early…and no topics to cover.

Speaking of podcasts, did you guys listen to my most recent one? I interviewed the owner of my CrossFit gym and my good friend Jason Kelly and he talks about starting your own business and how to stay motivated and interested in your business, no matter what is thrown your way over the years. He’s an awesome guy and I’ve continued to work for him for around 6 years now which proves I really do respect the guy since I usually work by myself, buried in my own house, away from all civilization. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

But before I let you go, let’s get into some Monday motivation to start off your day. Let’s talk about self doubt. Because I’ve been recently wallowing in my own self doubt and it’s something I recognize and try to get a handle of daily. Self doubt is one of those body numbing, mind altering, completely exhausting behaviors that is hard to shake at times. But if we are able to recognize those feelings as soon as they begin to creep into our lives, we are often able to get rid of them just as quickly. I’ve been doubting myself in a few ways recently and really letting those negative thoughts completely take over. So to combat that, whenever I feel that way, I’ll simply smile and try to tell myself something positive. It doesn’t even have to do with whatever negative thing is getting me down. As long as I use that negative energy and thoughts towards something positive, than I’m already on the right track. So I’ll sometimes pour that energy into working harder or I’ll just simply tell myself that I can do something or I’ll just figure out a game plan that will get me on a better track moving forward. The point is, I don’t let those negative thoughts take over – I simply move forward in other ways. I use to be a person who doubted everything about myself and it paralyzed me in so many ways. But by recognizing that I didn’t want to feel that way any more, I was able to take control of my own life. Take control of yours. Don’t be paralyzed by fear or the unknown or self pity. Continue on, keep pushing forward – and I promise you, your life will completely open up the more you do that!

What I Ate in a Day:

I started my morning off with a cup of coffee with heavy cream and stevia extract with 1 tablespoon of collagen blended into it. Then before I headed to a workout, I ate 1/2 a maple sea salt RX bar.

After my workout, I made breakfast which included 2 italian sausage links, arugula and spinach and 1 plantain cooked in avocado oil and sprinkled with meat & potato seasonings. (I didn’t dress the greens with anything).

Later in the afternoon while I worked, I ate 1 cacao nib and 1/2 leftover kombucha from the day before.

For lunch, I went to Modern Market and got the chicken plate with garlic potatoes and ginger veggies. And since I took it home, I added some spinach and arugula to it.

Later in the afternoon, I ate some gluten free granola, probably about 1/2 cup. This granola is TO.DIE.FOR.

For dinner, I made something quick with searing chicken tenders then topping them with hot sauce and feta. Then I boiled green beans and sautéed them in a cast iron skillet and topped them with adobo seasonings. While I made dinner, I snacked on a handful of coconut oil tortilla chips.
