Job Interviews, CrossFit & Staying Motivated!

I started out my day by going to a Job Interview!!! I was going for the business profesh look hahah!

What do you think I should do this Summer?

Work 2 jobs and save money for next year, or enjoy myself while it lasts and work 1 job before I start my junior year of College?

(Personally, I'm leaning towards the 2nd option)

 Breakfast: 2 fried eggs served omelette style & an avocado

 Lunch: Chicken & Hummus Salad

Snack: Strawberries 

Dinner: Famous Dave's BBQ Chicken, Ribs & Green Beans AGAIN!

The boyfriend and I have some FREE coupons we need to finish off before they expire in the end of May!!

BBQ Overload this month!

I LOVED This workout!!! I was able to hit 95lbs on my push press and I did not even catch my time at the end of the dog sleds because I pretty much passed out on the floor, but they were HARD

Just me, dead on the floor after pushing the sled!!!

Tomorrow I have a Training ALL DAY (8 am to 5 pm) for my new/summer job so I packed up a days worth of snacks/meals:

I LOVE feeling prepared and motivated!!!!!! Ever since I have started instagram I have been SUPER motivated to eat as clean as possible and get back into the whole weight loss thing!

What do you do to stay motivated?

First Time Juicing.. I LOVE it!

Today I tried my juicer for the first time!!

I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!

I just threw together a random assortment of things in my fridge...

(Pear, Apple, Strawberry, Spinach & Carrots)

 Used my juicer (it may look old school, but it works GREAT )

 WHAALAA!

How did I get this amazing, old school juicer you might be wondering???

WELL, I had been talking to one of my coworkers about how I really wanted to try juicing and adding juices to my days/meals!

Well, it just so happens that my coworker cleaned out his kitchen last weekend and found that he had an extra juicer!!!

It looks to be made in about the 90's, but was hardly used and works AWESOME!

Especially since it was free... HOLLA!

Now I am busy making plans for juicing for the week ;)

I've been researching different recipes & cucumbers, carrots, & celery are supposed to be more of a "mild" taste (easily hidden by fruit).

Kale is a superfood with tons of vitamins!

& Beets help turn the juice purple/pink (so it looks nicer to drink!)

It's so fun to try new things!

What are some new things you've tried recently?

Paleo Crepe & Tortilla Recipe!

This was an AMAZING recipe for anyone who wants to try the Paleo diet!!

If you have ever tried Paleo pancakes before, they are a little dense and chewy, but THESE are light and crispy and delicious!!!

I ALSO use this recipe (as it is very plain) to make tortillas!

I was amazed that they held together so well, and were so easy to make!!!

The Best Part about these is that they are low carb, and low calorie!

Per crepe/tortilla:
74 Calories 
 2 carbs
5 fats
4 proteins

Directions:

1. Whisk Together 6 eggs, 1 Cup almond milk & 2  tsps melted coconut oil!

2. Sift in 3 tbs. coconut flour and whisk! 

3. Let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again!

4. Heat a medium/large pan and grease with coconut oil or butter

THIS is the fun part!

1. Pour about a 1/4 - 1/3 cup of mixture into the pan, and quickly spread the mixture around the pan evenly!

2. Flip with the edges start turning up - I flip mine with my hands!

THEN ENJOY!

I have found several different ways to enjoy these! 

The best part is, so far they have stored great!

Sunday evening I made about 5 medium sized crepes/tortillas (halved the recipe)

and I have been able to store them in a Ziplock and keep reusing them!!

Enjoy!

I'M BACK! Paleo Challenge Update

Where have I been??!!

Well when technology hates you, this happens:

Tried turning on my computer everyday only to see this screen... good thing I had my DAD come help me tonight. 

It's a sad day when you can't fix your own computer!!!

Anyways...

I LOST TWO POUNDS!!!!

I'm SO HAPPY this Paleo Cleanse is going well!

It has been exactly 1 week & a day, I've lost two pounds and I feel great!!!

Starting Weight: 157 lbs

Current Weight: 138 lbs

Total Lost: 19 lbs

ALMOST TO TWENTY LBS LOST! YAY!

This is a big accomplishment for me! It has taken me over 8 Months to get here!

Here are some pictures of the food I have eaten the past couple days while my computer was down:

I have been able to stay pretty strict to Paleo, besides a few times I had to eat out!!!

Also, it turns out that when you are eating paleo, making salad dressing out of hummus and salsa is amazing tasting. 

I will post pictures of how I am doing so far this week!

Also I am planning a cali trip in June and I am HOPING to weigh in the 120's by then!!!!! 

That is my new goal!

Here's to being MOTIVATED to reach our goals and look better than ever!
