Setting Some New Goals & Sharing my LOVE for Crossfit!!!

Alright its that time again... time to set some NEW GOALS!!!!

Why?

Because... As I enter the school semester, I don't want to lose sight of WHY I started this journey. 

Blogging has been harder these past few weeks.

When I stopped constantly blogging my food & workouts, I noticed my weight has plateaued since my last weigh in. 

No significant losses!

This means I need to get BACK ON TRACK!

Goals:

And now:

I love CrossFit!

Today I went to a couple classes at Lifetime Fitness.

This is something I used to do ALL THE TIME 

I took a F.I.I.T class, and a Barbell Circuit Class - I've tried both in the past (pre crossfit) and found them challenging and a good workout!

Today, as I began both classes I was shocked by how bored, unchallenged and SILLY I felt!!!

In the 4 Months I have been doing Crossfit,

I have learned how hard my body can push

I've never been bored, because Crossfit mixes Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, gymnastics, sprints, and a 

few hard-to-categorize exercises like rope climbing -

ALL INTO ONE WORKOUT. 

Now, I don't mean to offend anyone- if classes at lifetime and similar gyms work for you, then by all means, do what works for you!!

BUT

I now know, that there is NO turning back for me. 

Somehow, along my fitness journey I have become 

Addicted to CrossFit. 

I know I am in the right place in my journey to a healthier life. 

Cauliflower Crust PIZZA!

This is probably the BEST RECIPE I have found yet, that satisfies my bread cravings with NO BREAD NECESSARY!

This Pizza is completley gluten free & delicious! 

(The Crust Pre-Toppings)

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower (simply shred in a cheese grater )
1 egg
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Pizza herbs: 1/2 tsp fennel, 1 tsp oregano, 2 tsp parsley
(The last three ingredients can be changed for YOUR favorite pizza-type herbs)

If you don't know how to make Cauli-rice, here is a helpful tutorial!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450ºF/232ºC. 

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. 

In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella! Press evenly on the pan. 

Sprinkle evenly with pizza herbs.

Bake for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe).

 Remove the pan from the oven:

To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese! 

Place under a grill/broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted!

Serve to be eaten with a fork & knife!

Enjoy!
