14.2 is done..bring on the next 14.3- New containers a food preppers DREAM!!

14.2 is over. Well for me it is. Did ok at best..tore a little..not ever happy about tearing..it messes with my wodding and it makes me cranky. 

Its not that bad. I know. I still hate it

14.2 was nuts. At first I was ok with what I got but then I got home and I started wondering if I couldn't have done better. I have to stick with one and done. I don't think even if I did it again I could get more reps. I rested too much but I can't imagine I would do it any different. Tonight I sit at 4th in the Southwest and 59th Worldwide. I know it will change alot tomorrow..I don't think I care too much. 

I am now super anxious to see what lies ahead!! 

The weekend went WAY TOO FAST!!! It's crazy how quickly it goes by anymore! 

The weather has been amazing!! Was able to get some great running in on Saturday!!! KEEP THIS GOOD WEATHER COMING WE ALL NEED IT SO BAD!!!

Got a great Bountiful Basket. Lots of fruit but tons of veggies too. Had to give some of my fruit to the Mr. But I am stoked about the green!! So here is what I got, celery, cauliflower, kale, asparagus and spaghetti squash, Anaheim chilies and oh Jicama..trying to decide what to do with that. Fruit side- lots of little pears, apples, oranges, grapefruits and Asian pears! Very good basket! 

Food prep is staying simple. It's so working for me. I feel its one thing I might actually be in control of at the current moment. And that's a great thing!
I did a rotisserie chicken...BOO!! I rarely get a crappy chicken...I guess I was due..it almost seemed not cooked...I pulled what I could but kind of disappointed!

I am totally digging the chicken sausages that I had last week so I threw more of them on the grill..GET OUT AND GRILL PEOPLE!!!! Get outside and soak up some of that vitamin D while the getting is good!!! 

Random thought about fats..I am discovering that sometimes I cut too far back on my fats. I know this seems strange but it is possible. I can tell by my energy levels when I haven't had enough. 

Back to food, this week- bought a HUGE fillet of salmon from Costco

I did my norm..don't mind my freaking counter mess. Sea salt - pepper- greek seasoning, red pepper flakes- fresh lemon and dill. Throw that sucker on the grill and presto- I actually was able to get 8 servings out of this one for 20.53

This is so simple and so good!! I can have any of the green that I got in my basket with this. I also grabbed a bag of the ever famous kale salad that I love to get from Costco...MY GREEN CUP RUNNETH OVER THIS WEEK. 

SHOES!!!

A post would not be complete without a picture of my sweet Scarlet. I am so in love with this little nugget! I am so thankful that my kiddos make an effort to support me in what I am doing and bring this sweetness along. She brings my so much JOY!!! 

I imagine in the pic on the right she is wondering what those shiny things on her feet are...and the left...I LOVE that she is reaching out for the little goat...poor goat..this little babe got a hold of my hair..watch out! I can't believe this little miss is going to be 5 months this week...where in the hell is the time going?

Who besides me gets excited over containers???? I think I have more plastic containers with lids than I have actual dishes. Went to IKEA last night and was completely overjoyed with this find! so many sizes with so many lids! This combo is a food preppers DREAM!!!!

Well ..interesting. That's about it. I usually have SO much to say. Right now...not so much. I am in a bit of a struggle and I wish I had a ton of deep ish to lay down..but I really don't. 

I have this....when nothing seems to be going the way you want or need it to...just lift!

Here's to a big fat strong week!! Be you- be real- work hard-eat clean and train dirty...somehow it all works out in the end!!

Croni...out!

Thank you 14.1 for making me feel alive again!! Food prep..so keepin it simple..why wouldn't I? it's working for me.

14.1 is "in the books" and I will be completely honest. I have NEVER walked away from an Open WOD so satisfied. I don't want to talk about where I set my goal. I want to talk about 5 things I have already learned about the Open

1. Adrenalin will get you through that last rep/round-well.... adrenalin- my kiddos- my Mom - my sis and Jo.

2. Having a plan is NOT overrated

3. One and done. It works for me

4. The rest of the room disappears just like I thought it would-well except for Jo-thankful for the 3-2-1.

5. Regardless of what is going on with me personally, my job and my struggle outside of CrossFit. The Open allows me to submerge myself in something that is my heart and soul. Everything else was forgotten!!!

Silly I know. I can't expect anyone to really understand or care about my struggles right now. All I know is that after I did 14.1..I don't know- I was overcome with satisfaction. I won't have the highest score in my age group. And even though I am obsessed with the Leader board I love seeing where all of our 22 peeps are. I am so satisfied with how I did and I am so proud to be a part of this box. Some amazing things are happening right now! And I am realizing this is truly my outlet-my shelter from the storm...seems dramatic...maybe it is...

Well here is where I sit tonight- this will change by tomorrow night but right now I am LOVING it. #6 in the SW 72 worldwide. A girl can't be mad about that!

As always ..have to share a pic I stole of my sweet grand baby. I love this little Miss so much. Getting to see her several times a week while her amazing parents wod (might I add they are looking pretty smoking hot these days!!! way to go kiddos your hard work is paying off!!) is really the highlight of my day. I absolutely love this pic!!! It doesn't get better than this!
I love how she is just so laid back. Best baby ever!


Ok- getting down to food business. I have been really dialed in on my eating- I did let my hair down a little this weekend and I will continue to be focused at least 80% of the time. Its what is really working for me. And going back to basics...simple and easy- it works!! 
One thing I am loving right now which is really odd for me- and thanks to Maria for selling these on Friday night- RX Bars. I was on my last one! I am usually not an advocate of anything packaged but these are saving my life right now. I eat them in thirds. When I am needing something kind of sweet these are GREAT!!

So here are some other things I picked up. Huge bag of broccoli- avocados- the amazing guacamole that is individually packaged-rotisserie chicken-spinach-eggs-lemons-bacon and strawberries. I had a plan when I started and i kept to it pretty well. I did bacon wrapped chicken thighs- have my chicken all pulled and bagged for salad and I threw some chicken sausages on the grill. 

It was CRAZZYYYY that I was outside in shorts
and flip flops today cooking on my grill. I am so ready for winter to just be over I can hardly stand it.
The Mr and I finally booked a trip to get the hell out of here. Although it's just to Vegas yet again-and not the Mexico trip that we both wanted to take so badly. It will be a break just the same. We head out the 29th of March. I will have the Open behind me and I will really be ready for a break!

 One last thing I made. Paleo muffins. I have been avoiding Paleo "treats" and I will continue to so if it becomes a problem but these are delicious!!
http://paleomg.com/banana-nut-chocolate-chip-muffins/
Only change on this was that I omitted walnuts and added pecans. I made these as minis and had to cook just a little longer

Ok so I know that my posts have become long and somewhat wordy. I can only post once a week and I have so many things I want to share. So I am just going to close with this. I am not shy about reposting her stuff. Love CrossFit Lisbeth and her writing. I know this is long...but i love it. Hope everyone has a GREAT week- eat clean-train hard- here's to kicking ass on 14.2!

The Simple and Elegant Truth of CrossFit

You know what I love about sport? It doesn’t discriminate. The barbell doesn’t care if I’m gay or straight. It also doesn’t care if I’m black, or if my mom and dad were Latino or Lithuanian. The barbell doesn’t know that I’m a woman. A deadlift is a deadlift for me, or for a man or a child. The pavement doesn’t rise or fall under my feet because I prayed to this god and not that one. Burpees are burpees for the young and the old. Bumpers don’t give a damn where I live. Pain will come calling, no matter whether I have a lot or a little in my bank account.
And you know what I love about CrossFit? All CrossFit wants from me is effort and a desire to get better. The minutes and seconds tick off the clock at the same pace if I vote conservative, libertarian, liberal, or not at all. “Time!” is pronounced differently as a word in English or Russian or French, but it has the same meaning: your workout is finished. Sweat angels darken every mat.
In a world that tries to remind us of the differences between people, CrossFit reminds us that, fundamentally, we are all the same. In order to maintain our health, all humans need functional movement. And so here we have training centered on the concept that everyone needs these basic movements. And, in that CrossFit workout, we can make modifications for the differences between individual human beings while at the same time acknowledging our sameness. That’s a beautiful concept, simply and elegantly rendered. In our rush to improve, it’s something we rush by, but it deserves attention, and it deserves applause.
Thank you, CrossFit. In a world that often seems to be trying to tell me that I don’t belong, you tell me that I do.

Hello Open...I have been waiting for you...please Castro-give this ol lady one more stab at that 100# Snatch...

IT'S HERE!!! THE OPEN STARTS THIS WEEK!!! FRIDAY WE DO 14.1...and I am crapping my pants. 

I am not ready...or am I? I guess based on my current circumstances..I am as ready as I have ever been. I just like to act like I am not.

One thing I am hoping to see? 100# snatch. If it is presented and I miss again this year..it's just not meant to be...that's all :)

This past week has been one of good and bad challenges and struggles. FIRST OF ALL...I FINALLY RX'D DIANE!!!! I was so stoked...and it's strange- that the week I chose to work on this- out comes an article about how horribly wrong or bad kipping handstand push ups are. And honestly? As much as I agree with that -for the athlete who chooses to use it as a means to go faster- without any caution what so ever to the head returning to the pad in the down position- I can see this as being bad. For me? an athlete that without the kip may never really get a hand stand push ups in succession? I see it as a means to actually be able to do a movement I never dreamt I could do. I added about 4 minutes to my time-but again-did something that 3 years ago-2 years ago-1 year ago- LAST MONTH-I COULD NOT DO!

I am 47 year old folks. Give me my kip and let me be alone with it. I promise to be careful !
Just for fun I went to the CrossFit Journal and researched a little and this is what I found- "The kipping handstand push-up is about using the power of your hip to help your arms" when I read the article posted -some of the comments below were that a kipping hspu should not be considered RX yadda yadda-So yes- it could be bad for the neck for those athletes that are not cognizant and careful when coming down but it also is used to HELP the arms!!! There you go. Done and done. Leave me and my kip alone. I will continue to strive to get a strict hspu but until then I will continue to kip. The glory of Crossfit-scalable-modifiable. 


I kind of feel sad that more peeps from 22 are not doing the Open. I have said in the past...I will say it again. I have a shit load on my plate right now-more than the past 2 years at this time. I know of a few people doing the Open that are as overwhelmed as I am. What I am doing this year as opposed in the years past? I am using the Open as a diversion. I love CrossFit. I love pushing myself ..or trying to push myself..beyond what I ever dreamt might be possible for this ol gal to achieve. And I honestly need this right now to help me remember what is good about my life. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

FOOD THIS WEEK- HELLO CARNIVORE STATUS!

Yup- simple simple menu this week- Turkey basil and artichoke meatballs...LOTS OF THEM http://paleomg.com/turkey-basil-artichoke-meatballs-egg-free-nut-free/
This time I added just about a tablespoon of red pepper flakes to give it some kick- I do 1 # ground turkey and 4 links of turkey hot Italian sauage- YUM

This recipe calls for 1# ground turkey so I actually double the seasonings

I made my tomato own sauce. Just broiled tomatoes with onion, garlic and basil- added a small an of tomato paste and threw in the food processor.

Meatballs anyone??

Also just baked some spaghetti squash. 

Getting to my Greek roots-love Souvlaki

I am going to need a little starch to have my energy up for Fridays. I have been feeling so run down-I pray that the Open snaps me out this god awful FUNK I have been in!

I also cooked some souvlaki- I LOVE this on salad. Here is my recipe

1 pork roast (this is one of 4 that you get in a pack at Costco)
slice and chop into bite size chunks-put in Ziploc
ADD
juice of 3 lemons
AT LEAST 2 tablespoons garlic
Oregano (2 T dried or fresh) 

Scarlet loves her Sophie!!

Greek Seasoning to taste
Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste-be careful not too much salt
Skewer and throw on grill- sorry-I don't have an EXACT recipe! this is how I do things!

I have my kale salad as well as a huge bag of broccoli and cauliflower. 

It wouldn't be a good blog without an updated pic of my sweet granddaughter-I am so glad to be able to spend the time with her during the week with her while her parents are wodding- this week I got to give her Sophie!! She loves her!! I am so happy. This baby girl brings me so much joy!


Well that's it. It's alot and nothing at the same time. So looking forward to the announcement on Thursday as to what WOD 14.1 is going to be. I need this diversion right now. Can not be happening at a better time!

Work hard everyone-eat clean and focus-if you are doing the Open- see you on the flip side of 14.1 SO EXCITED!!! 
In closing...love this!! (muscle ups)

Staying on that consistent path...less than 2 weeks to 14.1!!!

What a crazy week!!! So glad another one is behind me....but as time gets behind me.....in front of me...The Open! Hoping that all the attention I am paying to my little aches will payoff and I will be able to compete strong and such! I am finding that being consistent in my focus and eating is paying off...feeling like I am finally really back on track! GO ME!

Love all these pics of this babe and her parents!

Of course I must share pics of my precious Grandbaby! I stole all of these pics but I can't help it. I have to admit-holidays are so much more fun with her in it. She is seriously one happy little girl. I couldn't more proud. Or could I??

Going to get right into food. Here are a few things I picked up this week. Spinach-salad-peppers-mushrooms eggs - chicken thighs rotissiere chicken and stawberries-As you can see-might be a stirfry on the menu!!

I am not in a rush to food prep today since tomorrow is a holiday! YES!! I am sad to say I will be working but happy to say it will be from home and not in the office!!! Thank God!

Soooo...I posted a pic of this on Instagram. Pork Rind crusted buffalo chicken bites. THIS IS NOT MY RECIPE!! I borrowed it from Maria and then just kind of modified it slightly (link to her blog is on my blog roll on the right side of this post Optimal Nutrition) http://optimalnutrition1.blogspot.com/2013/10/pork-rind-chicken-tenders.html

This is my take on her recipe. And I have to say- I trust her completely so if she says bread it pork rinds...I am ok with it as well..PLUS I LOVE PORK RINDS!! True confession-I opened the bag in the car on the way home and ate a few..the Mr was completely grossed out. Didn't care. These are super quick and easy and honestly so stinking good. 

I just put the rinds in a bag and smashed them

I bought tenders but cut them into chunks - the pork rinds? of course I bought the spiciest ones I could find - to the eggs I added yet more hot sauce. You can obviously omit all of the hotness but why would you? 

My little dipping station had to move my eggs

This was almost 2 pounds of chicken so clearly it made a ton of bites which is awesome because leftovers are amazing!!

A pan of completed goodness!!

So oil up the pan a little let them cook enough to get crispy on the bottom then you can also turn the broiler on and crisp up the top but be careful not to dry them out!

The Mr made this crazy good dipping sauce...YES I KNOW A STICK OF BUTTER...I didnt eat the entire pan- its a dipping sauce for hells sake. 80% Paleo 100% of the time :)
Well that's my brief food share. I will be making a huge wok of chicken stirfry full of peppers-mushrooms-napa cabbage and onions!! A little coconut aminos and just a dash of fish sauce and this will be great! 

A great find I want to share. First props to my sis Amy for sharing this great deal. Nano 2's at Nordstrom Rack in Farmington station. I don't really love these shoes. I have a super narrow foot so I find them a little "free" and actually bought the Nano Speeds, but its always good to have a couple pair of shoes so that can alternate so they don't get worn out so quickly!!
I have been wearing them around because they were a little tight and I am actually loving them!
I ended up paying only 33.00 for these. They were on clearance then 25% off! cant pass that up!

I know I bragged about this last week. But I have to brag again. YOGA!!! Holy crap!! I have to give a big shout out to my girl Jenn Sayes for having the courage, attitude, and just overall confidence to bring "yoga" to our box. The thing is this. We are athletes. Regardless of what anyone else thinks of us- we are athletes..and honestly if you choose to present yoga to a bunch of CrossFitters you need to be open minded in your thinking and understand what it is we do on a daily basis and how you can flex yoga to best suit this group of people. Jenn is doing a great job! So thank you-for bringing Yoga to a group of people that desperately need it!! God bless you!

Group gets bigger every week! young and old alike! we even have a few visitors every week!

Well thats it folks. Kind of lame and boring. 
Here's to everyone having a GREAT week! Work hard- focus and be consistent! it seems to work

P.S. For those of you toying with the idea of doing the Open...PLEASE get registered!!! I would hate to not have Friday Night Lights....

CRONI OOUT

Trying to find my Mojo...my focus...my center...

I haven't blogged for 2 weeks. If you noticed I am sorry. If you didn't notice...well shame on me. If you are relieved..ha! don't know what to say!

True confessions...struggling with alot of things right now. Its hard not to get discouraged when you feel like you are doing your best to eat clean and train hard and work hard and in the midst of it all balance all the many levels of life. Here are some things that have been draggin me down.

I have been sick 4 times in less than 60 days.

I have a NAGGING hip issue that is making me CRAZY.

I feel like I am frustrated and mad more than usual. 

And so on. 

Not trying to drop my shit on everyone. This is my life. NO BS. I am struggling. 

There is not a motivational saying, picture or quote right now that I can say moves me to the point that I feel like oh ya...sure..if i do this I will shake this funk. 

I am realizing of course there is only one thing really that controls any of the above mentioned things. ME. So here's the deal. In order to break out of this little funk I have convinced myself that I am in...I am going to keep doing the one thing that I do the very best. I am going to be consistent. 

Baby Girl slept through the night- Granny Jo..awake every hour

This past week I had the amazing opportunity to watch my sweet grandbabe overnight - this little girl ..seriously ignites something in my soul that I can't really explain. Case and point- this pic....CAN SHE BE MORE PERFECT? 

Anyway what I am ranting on about is that sometimes I lose focus. I get so caught up in things that although important and necessary aren't as dramatic as I make them out to be. 
So I am going to wrap my energy around the things that mean way too much to be dramatic about- being a good and available granny- getting ready physically and mentally for the CrossFit Open AND learning to breathe! Now that Yoga is back I feel like I am getting my hip issue dealt with and I am getting excited for whats coming up!
At some point in my life being simply "ok" became not good enough. Being "middle of the pack" isn't really for me. I want to be better than average. I want to do big things. I want people to point and look at me in awe and be like- if that ol broad can do it so can I. So..new week-new focus! Going to do what I do best. Focus and be consistent. That's all! Rant done!

FOOD STUFF!

Started back doing 2 things I had let slide. Bountiful Baskets-Sunday Costco Run. 

A VERY healthy basket!

Its crazy how quickly I forgot how much I love getting a basket. This one did not disappoint. I have had a hard time getting to the pickups but when they do it in Centerville at 8:30 pickup I cant get up - go wod at open gym then get the pickup spot just in time. 

This basket had lettuce-leeks, zucchini, cucumbers, broccoli, asparagus-for fruit- bananas, apples, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries and blackberries. YUM!

Two GREAT finds at Costco 

Thanks to my sis Liz and Jo- Avocado oil at Costco - I have the one from Costco and the one I purchased at Target next to each other so you can see the comparison. I think I paid about the same for both- the small one I got at Target. I LOVE avocado oil- use it to make my own mayo so I was super happy to get this little deal- just under 10.00!!!

The 2nd little find is these amazing little containers of guacamole. Jo and I went over the ingredients standing in every ones way at Costco and I am pretty content that the ingredients are pretty clean. Lets be honest- sometimes guac goes bad kind of fast so I was super happy with this little treasure find. There are 12 little single servings. AWESOME AND CONVENIENT!

THIS WEEKS FOOD!!

I am finding if I over think my food prep I fail too much. So I am keeping it simple. 

Look at these gorgeous filets!

When my Pops (who just had a bday! happy bday pops!) gives me fish, I TAKE FISH. The fillets have been smaller and I LOVE THEM! Seriously there is not really any fish better than this in my opinion. I am still grilling this on my bbq-use a little sea salt, cracked black pepper, greek seasoning, lemon and red pepper flakes! YUM. The bad thing about the smaller fillets...I can eat twice as many...is that really a bad thing? Not sure! This will be so amazing at lunch with some broccoli or asparagus!

My other meal option will be meatballs. This was posted on PaleOMG earlier this week and it is right up by alley. All flavors I LOVE so I had to make them. Meatballs go a long way so I always make sure that I make plenty! I am not going to lie- these are amazing!

http://paleomg.com/southwest-meatballs-with-creamy-cilantro-dipping-sauce/

So I used my mini chopper for this today- I tend to be heavy handed when I "dice" things.. meaning I cut huge chunks and I wanted little chunks for my meatballs

I have had this little sucker forever. Not even really sure where or when I got it. I just know it dices like a bandit!

 I love all the ingredients in this- the cumin, smoked paprika, I added pablano and I used more jalapeno than the recipe called for. I love my spice!

When I make meatballs...I make meatballs!!

As much as I love the mayo in this recipe- and I did follow the recipe for the dipping sauce. I think that just the first portion of the recipe minus the mayo is amazing- it's super fresh and the flavor is so good. I did however add the mayo and it's great-I just think I liked it without it. 

It mixes up really well but again it seemed a little heavy but its still seriously delicious. 

That's my food stuff. I am doing my usual breakfast-spinach -eggs and sausages with 1/4 avocado etc etc. 

The amazing and sassy Jen Sayes!

I have to give a HUGE HUGE shout out to my girl Jen Sayes. Jen has taken on the huge responsibility of teaching "Yoga" to a bunch of CrossFitters. A big calling- for many reasons I won't get into. I just want to say Jen, you are doing an amazing job. Many of us need this so bad. So thanks for taking time out of your Sabbath day and bringing "church" to the rest of us! You are awesome! I am finally feeling like I am finding my soul again- weird and creepy I know!

One more kind of weird and fun fact...it was recently brought to my attention that this is the year of the horse. Ironically...that is my birth year...also ironically...I have this tattooed on my ankle-So in a nutshell... ITS MY YEAR!!! So there it is...I better get to work on making it a better year before it's too late!

Well that's it folks. All I have for now. Not bad after 2 weeks of feeling sorry for myself!!

The CrossFit Open is getting so close I can taste it! I feel like I have something so amazing to look forward to. Get ready- now- before it's too late...and here's to all my peeps that haven't registered yet..WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

Croni....out

Rest...ice...mobility...it might be working- and a little reminder from my past helps get my mind right

 Its no secret that I have been struggling a bit. My eating is coming back around and I am happy about that but I feel like my wodding is still so off. I sometimes get so frustrated when I can't make progress as quickly as I would like to. I tend to start wondering if it's all worth it etc..etc..all that silly negative stuff that we as humans do. This week I came across this picture. April 2009 SLC Half Marathon. Its hard to believe that this is really me. I mean it certainly looks like me..I looked at this and kind of got my second wind for the week. Its all for something! Its things like this that I need to use a reminders to push me through the tougher times! This week I focused on some mobility for my achy spots-I have been icing and trying not to overuse those joints if I don't have to- hopefully this will get me back to 100% and get me over this little hill I have been stuck on!




2 of my favorite pics from this week of this baby girl! She has just a sweet personality. This week while the kiddos were wodding I got to hold her and she had discovered she had feet! So glad that I am not missing moments like this because of my crazy busy life.
She is such a joy!



Food stuff is kind of all over the board this week. I wanted to try something new and then my sis Amy was talking about clam chowder and all of the sudden...I needed to find a Paleo recipe for this. I found one. Its definitely not budget friendly. And I am only about halfway done with it so the review of how it all turned out will have to wait. Here are the 2 things that I do have complete. Cashews are soaking

-and veggies are all cut up (it's the ocd in me) and I think I have about another hour before I can start putting this one together. 

The link to the recipe is below and I will let you know how it all turns out. 

http://www.thetastyalternative.com/2013/02/thick-and-creamy-dairy-free-new-england.html

Saturday I needed a break from my frittatas that I have been eating. Her is a quick and easy breakfast idea. Its literally 2 ingredients and takes about 5 minutes to prep. 

1 large sweet potato peeled and grated 
4 eggs
(I added a few cups of spinach in this time but you can put just about anything you want in this)

Grate the sweet potato and season with a little salt and pepper - a little onion powder and garlic powder (be careful with these they can make it salty quick) Cook the sweet potato through. I like to get it a little crispy which takes a little time. Then just press down 4 spots with the end of a spoon-

 drop the eggs in cover and cook to your liking. I leave the yoke runny because when you reheat them it cooks them through and I personally love a runny yoke

The cost breaks down to this- I bought 2 medium sweet potatoes and together they were 1.57- I already had eggs but the ones I buy are 2.69 a dozen-so roughly .89 and then spinach I have no idea .50 at best? So even if I used 2 sweet potatoes this would run roughly .74 a serving? This is also great to eat right after working out and it is not bad at all just cold

I like to smother it with hot sauce. 

I also opted to make a recipe I saw on PaleOMG that she posted a week or so go ago. Might have been a little longer. This seemed easy and that is kind of what I was going for. I am a little worried about the starch from the spaghetti squash but I am giving a shot either way. I grabbed some fish from my Dad and I have a big bag of salad so I will just eat this sparingly and see how it goes. 

http://paleomg.com/almost-5-ingredient-pizza-spaghetti-pie/

These fish are gorgeous!!

The finished product!!!
I followed the recipe with the exception of using fresh basil in place of dried basil and for some reason mine made this big pan and not an 8x8 so I will be sharing this with my kiddos- OH and I used turkey sausage as well.

Well that's it. Its all I have for this week. Kind of boring I know! I did get registered for the CrossFit Open last Wednesday and I am looking forward to having something to focus on and work toward for the next little while. I am excited to see if I can't break out of this little funk and really train like I want to!

Hope everyone has a great week- stay focused and if you have lost your focus..I completely understand how that feels! BUT PULL IT TOGETHER!!! Find a reason to confirm it's all worth it!

Croni- out!
