Weekly Workouts + What I Ate in a Day

I just want to start this post off by sending my thoughts to the people who were at the concert last night in Las Vegas. I can’t imagine the fear and pain everyone and their families are going through right now. It’s so devastating waking up so many mornings to heartbreaking stories like this. If you’re in Vegas, please give blood. Something as simple as giving blood can make all the difference right now.

I’m sorry to start a post off like that on this Monday, but it’s something that will be heavy on our minds for a while. But I’m going to try to change gears a bit. I just got to Walla Walla, Washington last night and I’m about to spend the next 3 days here exploring this adorable little town, taste some wine, get some workouts in, and enjoy some amazing food. It already started off on a high note last night with an absolutely amazing meal. Stopping in these little towns like Santa Ynez Valley and Walla Walla has me tempted to throw in the towel and move to a tiny town. I’m sitting at a Starbucks as I type this and I’ve seen ONE car drive down the main street. One. Being away from traffic is cleanses the soul and it totally makes me crave living somewhere else. Maybe someday!

So this is new…I’m officially not coaching CrossFit anymore. After 6 years of coaching, it finally felt like the right time to leave. I wasn’t feeling as motivated or excited when I went to the gym and I knew that had to change ASAP before I ended up leaving. So I finally gave it up so I could walk in the gym every day as a member and enjoy that gym to the fullest. Losing motivation in the gym is not an option for me and I won’t let it happen which is why I changed my situation. And I’m back to feeling motivated and excited about working out. With a simple change, I was really able to grasp my own goals and continue with the steps to conquer them. Don’t forget to analyze your own goals regularly and continue on daily to become the person you want to be, no matter the changes you endure!

What I Ate in a Day:

After waking up, I started my day off how I always do – with coffee. I made a hot cup of coffee with a tablespoon or so of heavy cream, some liquid stevia and collagen.

For breakfast, I made 2 pieces of bacon, 1 chorizo sausage, and cooked up some leftover cauliflower fried rice that I made a couple nights before.

A couple hours later I had a rice cake and a handful of butter toffee foodie fuel.

On the way to the airport, I had an orange mango spindrift.

For lunch, I had a beet salad from Root Down in DIA. Arugula, beets, beet pesto, hazelnuts, goat cheese and salmon.

During my flight, I had another handful of butter toffee foodie fuel.

For dinner, I had a glass of rosé and a plate of roasted chicken, potato pave, and local carrots from T Maccarone’s in Walla Walla.
