Q2 Check In // Staying Inspired + The Primal Life Kit

You guys, it is already April. How the heck did that happen? I feel like we just set some 2013 goals and already we are down one quarter of the year. I’ve been talking a lot lately about how I’m feeling out of sorts and so when I woke up yesterday morning I was determined to get re-inspired and re-energized. Enough was enough, it was time to get the train back on track!

This might sound silly, but for or me, the quickest way to turn my frown upside down is to learn something new. The act of feeding my brain new information often jump starts my creativity, which always has a positive trickle-down effect on my attitude and accomplishments. So as I was drinking my morning coffee, I flipped through The Science of Good Cooking. I don’t have hours to experiment in my kitchen right now, but I figured I’d just stockpile that info for later, which got me excited for the next time I do have a spare second.

Then at work today I caught up on some episodes of the Balanced Bites Podcast. What I love about that podcast is that it isn’t dogmatic at all, and it’s mostly just FULL of useful information. I get a lot of great suggestions and “crazy” ideas from that podcast because they talk about things in such a casual way that it is actually really easy to understand. Seeking out a little bit of new information already has my brain spinning, my synapses firing, and I’m starting to feel more like myself.

Curiosity: It works every time.

On the off chance that you are similar What Am I Doing/Where Is Time Going kind of place, I wanted to share something that my friends over at Paleo Plan have put together. I know these bundle sales show up everywhere at the same time and sometimes that can be a turn off, but you guys know I don’t write here to sell tupperware and shit, so let me tell you why I wanted to participate.

I met Neely of Paleo Plan back in September when I was in Colorado speaking and I always love when a new post pops up over there. She is a smart cookie, has a really fresh perspective and a no apologies attitude about healthy living IN REALITY. I love that about her! And she has gathered an awesome bundle of information that may snap you right out of that second quarter funk. Or if you aren’t in a funk, the information (and OMG the discounts!) will totally make your day, I promise. Retail therapy FOR THE WIN, Alex!

Life Lately

bsod

Life lately has been a bit of a blur. Not in a bad way, per se, just strange. I am still feeling like my job is “new” despite being in it for 45 days already. The pace is very different so it is still taking some getting used to. Better, but different. And for such a routine oriented person, different takes a minute, you know?

burger

Food has been super simple in my kitchen, mostly out of convenience, but can I tell you about my two favorite things from Trader Joe’s lately? The first is Trader Joe’s chopped, pre-washed kale. It’s $1.99, you end up with a 10 oz (which is a sheet pan of kale) and I have been roasting it (400 degrees for 15 minutes) tossed with a little oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder until it is just crispy on top and soft on the bottom. It is the most delicious bed for ANYTHING. I’ve been enjoying throwing the Trader Joe’s Kobe Beef Burgers on them and then changing up my toppings. The Kobe burgers are $5.99 for 2, so between Garrett and I that is an $8 convenience food lunch that is relatively healthy and takes about 20 minutes to get on the table. I AM IN LOVE.

g + b

Speaking of being in love, walks outside with these two have been keeping me sane. I have been seriously grateful for the weather because I think if I lived in a very cold climate right now I would be DEPRESSED. There is a lot going on in my brain, so it has been nice to work all of that out in the fresh air with the sun on my back.

side view mirror

I’m feeling a little behind at life. I haven’t done my taxes. I’m in serious NEED of a haircut. I have made purchases from Amazon that are still sitting in boxes because I haven’t had time to open them. My personal email inbox is OUT OF CONTROL. There is a little part of me that feels like I am watching my life go by in the rear view mirror. Need to fix that, STAT.

confidence

The CrossFit Games open have been all at once completely challenging and totally inspiring. As usual, Garrett and I are feeling super excited to work on our weaknesses and make some strides in our skills. I am feeling like the skill I need to develop most in the gym is confidence, which sounds completely weird and is probably an entire post by itself, but that is what I’m going to do. It’s time to get the mojo back.

Life is good right now. Different, but good. I am growing a lot, and I think it’s normal to be having some growing pains. In the meantime I’m just trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and staying inspired.
