Grillin

March 18, 2012

There is nothing better for someone living the paleo lifestlye than cooking on the grill!! Today was a beautiful day! Hubs and I have sort of a Sunday ritual where we sit together in the morning, plan the meals for the week than make a shopping list that pertains to only what we need for the week... thats how we eliminate buying foods that arent part of our weekly meals and we stick to a budget for food.

Our fridge often looks like this before we go shopping...

 
This is what this weeks "meal plan" looks like:
- Every Weekday Breakfast Hubs: Frittata (that he makes on Sunday and separates for the week)
- Every Weekday Breakfast Sarah: 6 Egg Muffins (I bring 4 to the gym and leave them in the fridge for after my shower before I leave for work. The other 2 are for Thursday and Saturday AM).
- We each have post workout protein shakes, mine in the AM and his in the PM right after our workouts.
*I am only listing dinners, every night we make dinner and we make enough for 4 servings.... two for dinner and two for the next days lunch. We serve food right onto our plates and also into 2 tupperwares for the next day. This eliminates going back for seconds and trying to figure out what to have for lunch the next day.*
Sunday: Jalapeno and Garlic Burgers with "Fancy Sauce," Avocado and Artichoke Salad with Home Made Balsamic Dressing (that is sooooo delish)
Monday: Pork Chops and Rosemary Balsamic Butternut Squash
Tuesday: Spiced Chicken and Spinach
Wednesday: All Natural Chicken Sausage and Spaghetti Squash
Thursday: Tri Tip Steak and Brussel Sprouts
Friday: Fish (we get it that day) and Asparagus

Things change up weekly and when we get bored, but we are pretty happy with the way things work out.

Its a beautiful day!! I will never complain about burgers on the grill!! Bun-less of course!

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
