My Tuesday 12:15ers swear I always talk about food. Well heck, when you teach a class at 12:15pm what else do you think is on my mind…FOOD! Therefore today I tried to hold back and not talk so much about food. Then when we were stretching, one of my victims said, “hey, you didn’t talk about food today”. So then I had to share! Above is Carrot Banana Muffins. Let me tell you folks…these are AWESOME and are great with coffee, a.m. OR p.m.!
I some how convinced my client to try one of the muffins. We, my client and I, have to had to “agree to disagree” about my paleo style eating and he LOVED the muffin. He kept saying, “Karen, these aren’t that bad really”. I was shocked for 2 reasons (1) he was eating a paleo muffin (2) I had impressed someone with my cooking!!!! 🙂
On Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 a bunch of CrossFitters met at Crossfit Austin to take on The 2nd Annual Murph. The workout included:
1 mile run
100 pull ups
200 push ups
300 squats
1 mile run
Partition the pull ups, push ups, and squats as needed. If you have a weighted vest, wear it!
Melisa, Jess, Pam, Rusty and myself took on the 2nd heat at 9am. The best advice I can give you is to DONT STOP MOVING! While I didn’t wear a 20lb vest like Bonita nor was I crazy enough to do it 1.5 times like Jeremy , I did get through it and enjoyed myself. It was even worth the soreness afterwards. Next year you should join!
If you know me, you know I cook on Sunday for the week. I enjoy going to the store with my list, getting the items I need and cooking them and enjoying them all week long. It helps me stay on track and gives me no excuses to not only eat bad, but to eat out! I’m a HORRIBLE cook but I still like to do this!
This past Sunday I cooked from 2 different places. Paleo Plan and The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. All but one dish turned out good and honestly for me that is pretty darn good! Below are some pictures from what I cooked Sunday. I don’t have pictures of everything.
Got a sweet tooth? This is from the book…Chocolate Chip Scones
Paleo Pizza There are a few things I would change about the pizza. But with my cooking I figured the first time to make it I should stick with what the recipe said. I would add mushrooms, olives, more peppers and prob other stuff…however it was AWESOME!
I also made Scrumptious Sandwhich Bread (book) which is AMAZING especially when I also made Crockpot Pork Loin to eat on top! I that for lunch and dinner to day…yes that yummy! I have stuff to make Eggplant Parmesan (minus the cheese) (book) and Carrot Banana Muffins. I just didn’t get around to that or the No Patato Salad, which I have stuff to make as well.
The best part about cooking at home is I know what went in my dish. Unlike what Central Market did to my love for their “in house Veggie Burger“. When you have this good of stuff to eat at home you think twice about eating out!
I may have scratched my car not once but twice in the parking garage, but I keep going back to teach. The 1pm-1:45pm class at 301 Congress ROCKS! Not only do they have to put up with me and my crazy ideas and equipment. They work in the morning, then come workout with me at 1pm then quickly shower and head back to work to finish our their day. Then alot of them go home to kids…WOW is all I got to say! If you are in the area and want to attempt this class let me know! Here is what these ladies have to say about the class:
The ground is hot, your mat is hot, your water is hot and you cant stop sweating, but you are smiling and wanting more. You ask yourself whats the next challenge? How many reps? Bring it! This is a common response you might recieve when you ask one of the 60-100+ people that attend the FREE core class at Jack and Adams Monday nights from 5:30pm, “How is that class”.
See what Phil has to say:
I am all over the place coaching, encouraging these fabulous people keep moving, push for one more rep. I’m loud and full of energy!
All you need is a Mat (yoga mat/towel/box/etc), Water (LOTS), and Positive Attitude…get there early for shade and or parking!
