Yesterday’s delicious Peruvian lunch of Cebiche de Pescado (Halibut) with a side of fried sweet potato slices. I did not eat the corn, in case you were wondering. One of my favorite Peruvian dishes ever.
Mini Eggplant Crust Pizzas
I’ve made these before, but never this bite-sized and they turned out great! I basically just rolled egg plant slices in egg white, then fine coconut flour, topped it with organic tomato paste, fresh mozzarella and then a bit of crumbled sausage and baked these little guys at 350* for about 25 minutes (check that cheese is slightly browned). And voila! Yummy primal finger food!
Breakfast for lunch is one of my favorite things to do. This delicious spinach, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, avocado and chicken omelet Jack N Jill’s was right on point.
After a rough and long day of work, this was very much needed. Delicious bacon-wrapped scrumptious steak.
The Meat Rack would be proud. I’m stepping up my steak making game.
Worked through my lunch today but at least I got to eat this delicious rotisserie chicken, salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar de Modena and sautéed spinach.
120125 - The Deceiver WOD
An oldie but a goodie. This is around the time when I got to Level 1 badass in pushups at 25 reps.
Strength: Strict Press 3×5
55x5, 65x5, 70x3 - disappointed I couldn’t finish the last set.
WOD
“The Deceiver”
Push ups 20/15/10/5
Wall Balls 5/10/15/20
Time: 6:30 RX
I swear that I’ve done this WOD before but I can’t seem to find record of it and I stupidly threw out my old WOD book when I moved.
I stalled on wall balls. Should’ve been able to string them better.
120123 - LiveFit Week 2 Begins
As I’ve mentioned, I almost accomplished a perfect score for LiveFit Week 1 but I failed on one day of hydration.
WOD:
5 rounds for time of:
5 Power Cleans (155/105 lbs.)
10 Burpees
150 m Run
Time: 11:19
(3 rounds @ 95#, 2 rounds @ 85#)
Recovering from being sickie so the runs were definitely brutal to me. Thanks to the boys at the finish line yelling at me to push past Allyn at the end….I won by a second!
And I need to work on form for my power cleans – need to keep bar closer to my body….probably would have been able to stick to 95# if I did it with perfect form.
Disclaimer: Clearly I’m behind on posting my WOD’s to here, so please don’t mind me.

Strength/Skill:
Front Squat

rest 2 minutes
Kettle bell
Burpees

Time: [must check notebook for time, i forget] RX
Now kids, these weren’t regular burpees. These were burpees over a barbell. So down you go, up and over the barbell, then down again, and that’s one. I think had I not been sick, I could have done it faster.
And here I present, uncured applewood bacon wrapped grilled tiger shrimp. And avocado.
It was drop-on-your-knees-roll-your-eyes-back delicious.
Thank you Noah’s Bagels in El Segundo for not judging me when I ordered your egg, spinach, bacon and cheddar Egg Mit without the mit (no bread). And thank you again for also giving me a discount for oMITting bread!
Whole Foods, how I love thee.
It was recently reported that the fashion industry considers a Size 6 Plus-Sized.
Ridiculous.
Here are the thoughts of very fit and healthy CrossFit men and women on this claim.
Thank you Journey TV for creating this and Paleo OMG for posting it.
I posted this to our box’s LiveFit 310 tumblr, but I wanted to share it with all my fitblr people. A ridiculous claim. Honest and hearty answers from fellow CrossFitting men and women.
I’d rather be strong than a stick. Just sayin’.
Almost perfect score for week 1 of LiveFit! Sunday I failed on hydration, didn’t quite make the mark. I’m actually surprised I did as well as I did considering what I had been going through. Let’s see.
I was sick for half of that week. Extremely stressed out with my living situation for the entire week. Thankfully I’ve never been one to eat my feelings, rather I don’t get hungry instead. But when I am stressed I do like a glass of wine or four, but I managed to stay alcohol free.
Onto week 2. Things can only look up now, right?
Clearly I forgot to photograph my lunch nom, buuuut it was jamaican jerk chicken, baked plantains and small serving of quinoa (which is actually a fruit not a grain - still carby though so in small doses only).
Last night i had some Leftover Burger patties i made from scratch. 80/20 ground beef, garlic, worcestershire sauce, a mushroom balsamic vinagraitte dressing, and a splash of FISH SAUCE…yup, the secret to amazing burger patties.
Couldn’t find any decently sized romaine so grilled up some onions, fried an egg, threw in some avocado, and Fork-and-knifed it up.
These kind of concoctions is a big reason why I love my b.f.f. And why you should follow his meaty ways.
