Happy Monday!! I am feeling MUCH MUCH better than last Monday morning. I’m still dealing with some personal stuff, but it’s something I’ll have to deal with for most of my life so I’m trying to move past it and stay happy. Because happy is WAY more fun.
So I’m starting this Monday off on a positive note! Today is going to be a great week and I’m going to make sure of it! After I finish up some work, I’m heading to the gym to get some lifting in first thing to get the endorphins flowing and the creativity for the week going!
Do you have a game plan for your workouts this week yet? One of the ways I stay motivated through winter is planning out my schedule every week and writing down the times I’ll be working out. By doing that, I make sure I can fit in my workouts and don’t run into too many issues throughout the week that set me off course. If I don’t plan those workouts out, I tend to get caught up with my day and have a harder time making it to a class. So it’s all about planning! Have you planned your workouts out yet? If you haven’t, signing up for classes ahead of time or writing down your schedule might help you fit that quick workout in when it feels like you have no time! I know it definitely works for me!
And before I let you go, I gotta tell you something extra exciting. I’ve created something for you guys and it’s getting closer to sharing it with you! I can’t announce it quite yet (I’ll be announcing it in 2 weeks!) but I’ll give you a few clues!
- You wear it.
- You workout in it.
- You’ll look super cute in it.
Any ideas? I’m SOOOOOO excited to show you guys what I’ve created! Eeeeeeeeekkkkkkk!

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.
Then while I made breakfast I had 1/2 a Greek Yogurt Fluffy Waffle.
Then for a late breakfast around 10am, I had 2 Teton Waters jalapeño brats, asparagus, roasted purple sweet potatoes and Sir Kensington’s Ketchup.
Around 1 or 2pm, I had a Rebbl cold brew coffee drink.
Then around 3pm I had some Siete Chips dipped in some Kite Hill jalapeño cream cheese.
For a late lunch around 4pm, I went to Chipotle and order a burrito bowl with rice, double barbacoa, double veggies, pico, green salsa and cilantro. I order double the meat and veggies so I could have lunch + dinner since my eating was so off that day.
And around 8pm, I had a few bites of my Pumpkin Pie Cookie Crisp.

I’m excited for your announcement! I also have to plan out my week for workouts and for me knowing if a friend is going to be there waiting on me is MONUMENTAL for my motivation. It takes a village!
it TOTALLY takes a village. knowing a friend will be in a class makes it so much more fun!
Hm, planning your workouts ahead is a game changer! Honestly, I am not a fan of classes, I prefer doing my workouts alone or with my man, but I might give your monday workout a try!
Ummm, whatever this announcement is I’m really freaking excited, I canNOT wait!!
Also, you’re amazing, keep it up!
yayyyyyy!! thanks for being excited, alli!! i seriously cannot wait to share it with you!
Juli, I prepare for and plan for my workout every day. I lay out my gym clothes, pack my work clothes, pack my lunch, make my coffee and everything else I need the night before. There are no excuses when the alarm goes off at 5:10 AM M-F. -Elena
genius!! no excuses!
Omg what a tease, I’m on pins and needles! So excited to hear what is, and more excited for YOU! I admire you so much and draw so much inspiration from all that you do. Keep up the anazingness Juli!!
you rock, ali!! thanks for the love and support!! xoxoxo
Hmm, based on prior clues, I’m thinking you’re designing some leggings. Maybe in a burgundy floral pattern? Can’t wait to see what’s it actually is!!
ooooh girrrrrl you’re one good guesser! not quite spot on but you’re pretty damn close!!!
Hi Juli!
I love reading your weekly workouts and what you ate in a day! It helps keep me on track AND makes me feel less guilty about grabbing on one of your pumpkin protein cookies while cooking dinner. ???? Can’t wait to see what you have in the works! I’ve already taken your advice on some cute sweaters from Nordstrom and the Tula products (so amazing!). Exciting stuff happening with your blog and I couldn’t love it more!
p.s I binge listened to your podcast during a reallllllly bad few weeks at work and you totally motivated me to get back into gear. Thank you you’re the bestestttttt!!!
well damn sam, thank you so much for the love! i really appreciate it! and glad i could help get your back on track in some small way!
I had no idea Chipotle would hook you up with that much cilantro! I always get that gross shredded lettuce. My mind is blown.
So I was just looking at your recipe from 3/2/15 and I noticed that you questioned whether or not to keep doing the weekly workout posts (obviously you decided to keep it up so this is late) but I just wanted to say thank you soooooooo much for posting the workouts!! I look forward to Monday’s so that I can see which one of your workouts my hubby and I will attempt that week. Sunday we did the partner workout with the gazillion (ok, 200, but still) wall balls and he loved it!! He has even shared some of your workouts with his buddies at the gym so I’m pretty sure he looks forward to Monday’s too. Thanks for your posts and totally looking forward to your big announcement!
that’s so good to know!! thank you for the feedback! it’s hard to know if people like them so it’s awesome hearing that sort of feedback! i really appreciate it! xoxoxo
I’m so thankful and excited,too.Thank you for sharing,your workout inspired me last week and it was great and i felt so happy. Definitely,i will do some this week workout by you. Thanks! 🙂
thanks, anna!
