Cacao Nibs

Are horrible and bitter… on their own. But combined with fresh berries and almonds taste just like chocolate ZOMG. I finally found out a way to eat them and reap the benefits without eating all the sugar that comes with your standard chocolate bar - but it definitely needs the natural flusher in the fresh fruit to cover up the bitterness!

So I shall squat

I am a coach! At Golden State Crossfit! It’s in West Los Angeles and is amazing - however my training has been terrible. My elbows are causing me a lot of grief at the moment so having a few issues trying to WOD as I can’t finish anything because it’s ridiculously painful. I’ve been verging on tears two days in a row now. I hate putting up bad numbers and being the person whining about an injury but there’s nothing else I can do. I’m going to try buying some compression arm bands but I just need to keep stretching out after every work out. But I can still squat. So I will do exactly that. I think I am going to start squating every day, even if I just work on technique. There is always work to be done on getting correct form! Back squat. Front squat. Over head squat. Bring it on.

Sugarrrr

I was all excited about Lara bars and all the delicious snacks at Whole Foods, all the ingredients are great - healthy choices, organic, local BUT then I was like LIGHTBULB I have been ignoring the sugar information and everything was loaded with sugar!! Every single bar! The best one I found was 6grams, but remember we are only ever meant to have 5grams of sugar in our system at one time!

Hello

I’m still here but now living in LA and I have no Internet so that means no tumblr. I don’t even have a bed atm. It’s been an interesting week…
