Let it go. Something that was so strongly needed to be heard today in my #SoulCycle class.
Let it Go.
The last two weeks have been a little crazy, a lot of ups and downs and some very low downs were I found myself falling off my macros and turning to food again. This week on weigh in day I gained 2lbs- and while I wanted to crawl into a hole, feel sorry about myself and shut out the world. I didn’t.
I turned to my inspirational group chat (@LoFilippi & @Katjawz_ ) whom have been an instrumental part of my journey of self love, self confidence and finding my inner spirit.
After weighing in and feeling sad about missing my goals, I hit my workout hard, despite feeling wrecked from 18.4 (more to come on that) and then I hit the grocery store so meal prepping started yesterday and ended today with some yummy sheet pan / stir fry yumminess!
This weeks meal prep below:
Meal 1: Post AM Workout Meal
- 1 Hard Boiled Egg
- 1 Slice of Toast (Dave’s OMEGA 3)
- ½ Guac Cup

Meal 5: Post Pm Workout Meal- Dinner

If you haven’t noticed, I am a creature of habit, so sometimes my meals do not change as much but… you will always get one or two switch ups! Always feel free to ask for recipes!
I am cooking a lot more with Mushrooms which per the book, “Eat pretty every day” are beautifying foods for our lovely souls! Mushrooms not only add amazing flavor but some are even considered, antiviral/ anti -inflammatory/ and healing agents for those with compromised immunity systems. Mushrooms are a great source of vitamin B and D, try adding them to your next stir fry or even to a fluffy egg white omelet!
Eating well helps me perform at my best, especially during the #CrossFitOpen.

I finished in 7:37. . . which included a blackout in my first attempt… Check it out here.
My second attempt felt harder in the lungs but I did it and now there is only one more week left! I am beyond excited to see where I land this year and start working on my progress for 2019.
I couldn’t be more proud of the team I was apart of this year or the improvements I have made in this sport. Plus we were sponsored by the best peanut butter company in life. . . and I am not even lying- if you have not had Utopian Kitchen Peanut Butter I am about to change your life. Click the link. I promise. You will thank me later.
Anyways. . . this week has come and gone and I might have missed a goal but I hit the “smile more” goal every day so far this month… and that, I couldn’t be more proud of.
Until next week ❤ Smile, be kind and trust the process.
