Pranks, Food and TGIF!

FINALLY! End of week one!!!!!

Sorry for the absence of blogging!

I usually either blog at night, OR most of the time, before I go to work in the early afternoon. 

This week I went straight from School, to Work, to the Gym, then to eat Dinner..

Then it would be like 9:30 and I would watch tv and pass out :)

ANYWAYS!

I got PRANKED this week.. BAD!

Have you ever tried to order Paleo Bread or Gluten Free bread before?

For some reason I haven't been able to find it at the local whole foods (I'm blind?)

So in a moment of poor judgement, I ordered it online instead!

WELL, the other day when I came home late at night and exhausted, my family told me my bread had come!

This is what I got:

I was so tired (and upset, we'll discuss later) that I didn't question that this wasn't my bread, and thought I had been SCAMMED!

My family of course thought it was hilarious, and made me try it (it was disgusting)....

Obviously I threw a giant fit and was planning on writing a letter of complaint the next day when my family informed me that it was a prank... and if I wasn't so tired I wouldn't have fallen for it!

HAHAH

So at least my bread is still coming...

Some Delicious & Healthy Meals from this Week:

 Chicken & Potato/Parsnips 

Chicken, Brocolli & Healthy Potato Skins 

 Pork Chops topped with Grilled Veggies & Green Beans

 Two Fried Eggs on Green Beans

 Milk, Pineapple & Strawberry Smoothie

Chicken & Brocolli

I was happy that even though I had a CRAZY busy week, I was able to eat pretty healthy!

Wod's From the Week:

From the Fran & 1/2 wod My hands ended up like this:

OUCH!

Hope ya'll had a good week too!

Weekend Recap!

Tonight was my last night before school starts again....

Ugh. 

School is the only thing I love and hate at the same time!

Other than the impending school, I had a fabulous weekend!

 Snuggled with this Pooch

 Ate the MOST delicious breakfast EVER......

Protein Pancakes & a Guac, Egg, Cheese & Potato Skillet...

Can you say Lift Big Eat Big???

And then I cut & Shaved my boyfrands head!!!!

I miss his curls but DANG he looks good like this!

Doesn't he look so much younger?!!

Tomorrow I am excited for a great workout!

I'm headed to school in the am, straight to work then straight to the gym & then eat at boyfrands house (because he lives right next to the gym)!

My schedule will be like that all week - yikes! It will stink not to be home by 9 p.m. every night, but I know it will be worth it!

I'm currently packing a salad with hard boiled eggs for my lunch tomorrow! :)

Are all ya'll ready for the week???

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!

Workout & Food! Jan 9th

Today went by SO fast... It felt like Friday!

Getting back to CrossFit this week has been great, but I am ALREADY so sore. 

THANK GOODNESS tomorrow is a rest day!

Today's Workout:

This workout KILLED!

Each round had a 10 minute time cap. 

If you finished the rounds you kept track of your time & added all times together for final score!

If you didn't finished all 3 rounds of each set you took a ten minute score. 

My score was 19 minutes 36 seconds.... Not my best!

I even ripped my hand doing pull ups :,(

On a Happier note, I ate AWESOME today!

Breakfast:

 2 eggs scrambled w/ cheese

Snack:

 Banana

Then I made a salad with lettuce from my families GARDEN!!!!

Lunch:

Salad: Fresh Picked Lettuce, 3 Hard Boiled Eggs, Avocado & Turkey

Dinner:

Jeff Made me my FAVORITE green beans... 

Cooked with Bacon, Carrots & a sprinkling of fancy cheese!

He also made homemade barbecue sauce for the drumsticks!

We are a match made in heaven... I buy the groceries with coupons, He COOKS and  I help with the dishes!

How did ya'll do today?

Needless to say, I am very excited for the year 2013 :)

I'm keeping up with my resolution of no coffee, sitting here drinking and unsweetened cup of black tea with a splash of milk:

It tastes a LOT better than I thought it would....

& is a LOT cleaner than the Coffee I was drinking before! No more coffee creamer! No more bad Sweetners!

Yesterday's Wod:

Now, I was unable to do the rx 55lb snatch because I took so many days off in december :(

Hoping to get a FULL clean day in with no splurges!
