Honey Mustard Slut

    That's me for sure.  I LOVE it.  I eat it on just about anything. That store shelf corn syrup crap is so bad for you though, so I started throwing together my own cave girl friendly version.  It has become really fun for me to take my favorite things and turn them Paleo.  Everything from potato salad to pancakes.... It's an enjoyable challenge you can feel good about.



Cave girl honey mustard:
A couple giant squirts of a good Dijon mustard
A small glob of honey
A couple teaspoons of mayo ( I'm too lazy to make my own Paleo version, so I just use Duke's I'm not crazy super strict about it.)
A splash of red wine vinegar and some poppy seeds
Mix well, I don't really measure...I just kinda know how much of each ingredient I like.  It's yummy.



      
        Ok, ok so back to my not so perfect food reality. I went to a fantastic concert this week. 


I ended up stuck in some bad weather and eating crap like pretzels, burgers and diet soda while there. I got back on track, however that process isn't the easiest as some of you may know. Luckily I don't need to detox or anything but it still blows. I want to eat a whole cake in one sitting, and after missing a day or two of my meals, and 3 hour schedule, I struggle for a bit to cram in everything I'm supposed to.  I'm not hungry and I'm groggy. It really showed in my performance Friday morning.  My kid kicked my ass by 2+ minutes at :

5 rounds:
10 overhead squats 95#
10 handstand push ups
10 toe to bars
2 min of max effort step ups

I was gasping and she didn't even look like she worked out.  What you put in definitely plays a huge role in what you put out. NO DOUBT!! Luckily I only fell off the wagon for a very short period so by Saturday I was feeling good again..... Just don't ask me to run...squat program+ running = fucked. 

Training was a bit off this week, our whole family was slammin busy but, it was for awesome stuff and totally worth it!! I MISSED A SQUAT DAY THOUGH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BLLLLAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Monday: hatch squat program, stiff dead lifts and leg curls and extensions. Then at CrossFit, 8 rds of 2 min row 1 min abzzzzz, then some light ankle weight stuff for mommy butt. 

Tues: 20 min amrap of 6 chest to bar pull ups, 1 min handstand hold, 800 meter run and 12 box jumps. I went an extra round it felt good and I needed to burn off some more energy.

Wed: arms and abs with pops at The Fit Factory. I was destroyed. No 100 rep sets but I swear I didn't get any rest.  5lb dumb bells can be very humbling. 

Thurs: off to a photo shoot with my kiddo.  I was supposed to squat.... Wha wha wha...chicken legs!

Fri: posted above

Sat: This was a ton of fun!!!

Sun: max out front squat, back squat and strict pull ups


    In a few weeks I am going to try and hit the globo more.  Im missing calves and pullups I know I need to do it, I'm training for a show in April but you just can't beat the camaraderie of CF.  The fun and company is definitely welcomed after such a rigorous globo/ cardio training schedule plus my Amber moving this past spring.  I think I'm finding a good balance of " I want to be a decent crossFitter that swings by and has fun, but I also want to train isolated muscles and throw on a blingged out bikini all shredded and jacked once in a while".  My mind changes so much who really cares...I'm having fun, staying healthy and spending my husbands money, can't ask for much more then that in my little fit freak world. I may have another goal I'm cooking up for October though... Stay tuned for next weeks announcement blog ;) We'll see....


    Before I go I need to touch on a couple people I met this week.  On the way home from the concert we stopped off at a Waffle House in the middle of Deliverence/ Alberemarle NC.  It was nearly 3am.  I was expecting a giant shit box that I didn't even want to use the bathroom in for fear of disease.  I figured I'd find at least one pube in my food.  We found quite the contrary.  It was AMAZING!! We had service that you would be pressed to find in some of the most expensive restaurants. It was incredibly clean and I MEAN SUPER CLEAN! Our food was exceptionally good for a Waffle House. We began to talk to our server and she was also the manager, her daughter was the cook.  She took such pride in her job and it showed. They were both so thankful for what they had and it was heart warming.  Their store is ranked #8 in the nation!!! Hello!!!!! There is like 1600 Waffle Houses and that IS something to be proud of!!!! That freaking rocks!! It was a great reminder that no matter what you do....take great pride in it...it makes you happy, confident, content and people see that and take notice.   I better get my shit together!!! ;)

Take great pride in what you do, even if its just making your own honey mustard and eating waaaaay tooooo much of it, AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
