The Day Gets Away From ME

Good Morning ALL,

I was so pumped to write yesterday and just could not find the time. My girlfriend, Emily, asked me the other day, where do you find the time to cook. Yesterday I found no time, after a 9am sales meeting, 12noon developer meeting, catching up on phone calls in the car on my way to preview a property for one of my clients who is in Afghanastan, setting up showing appointments for Thursday, following up with my sellers and trying to get a condo under contract that is not on the market yet it was 2:45pm. Had to rush to the school for a room mom meeting from 3-3:25 then off to middle school to pick up my 6th grader. Dropped her off quickly while chatting with tutor who was coming over to help Hayley with her reading, had to make sure we knew what all my precious baby needed to focus on. Grabbed 4 slices of turkey and ice water and ran back out the door at 4pm to make it to my 4:20pm showing in South Austin. By the time I was done it was 5 pm and I realized I did not have time to stuff the pork with garlic, season it and put it in the crock pot. It was supposed to have been cooking all day.....Hmmm what to do. Family will be starving, hubby will be starving! Pulling out of Johanna Street towards 1st street I see Polvos, one of the most delicious Mexican restaurants in South Austin. Is it Paleo? Of course not it is Mexican. Can I make it Paleo, YES!

I ordered everyone what they would want so the family could cheat...I on the other hand ordered steak fajitas with onions and pablanos, no rice, no beans not tortillas and headed home. I will say is very hard to not order a margarita or a beer while I sat there waiting for my food reflecting on my day thinking about everything I needed to do when I got home....I did not, I was good.

Needless to say, yesterday there was just no time.

This morning was great, 5am up and out to CSCCrossfit. We did some amazing things today. Power Shrugs, High Pulls and Squat Snatches, the girls (my CSC friends, Julie and Brandy) and I made jokes about being snatch happy, gotta be silly too! Not that easy, snatching a bar up the front of your body over your head and then squatting with it. 55lbs for me was about all I could take. Then our fabulous WOD. 15 muscle snatches, 20 box jumps and 25 "good mornings" time was 13:13. What is a good morning? I have never done one but is called good morning because apparently when you wake up the next morning your body will ache "GOOD MORNING" I will let you know tomorrow. The movement, you lift a weight bar over your head and rest it on your traps, slight bend in the knee, flat back, looking forward and you bend over to the ground and back up. Sounds simple and easy.....Lets see what my hammies say tomorrow!


Rushed home but 6:40am got girls up, started breakfast! Went for my new "Make it Paleo" cook book and make coconut nested eggs and breakfast sausage for hubby and me! Kids went for the cereal bowls (bought from whole foods, gluten free and they are eating it!!!)






7:25 Chris out the door with Grace and Hayley and Faith and I get to finish up in the kitchen, eating and cleaning. Then Faith surprised me and says "do we have any lettuce". Of course, in the fridge drawer, she grabs the butter lettuce. "is this real lettuce mom?" Yes my dear, there is no fake lettuce that I know of. So PROUD of her....she makes her first paleo lunch butter lettuce wrapped turkey bites. So cute and so healthy! So PROUD!




7:45 out the door to school....I cant find my keys so I have to use Chris's set. What's new, I always loose my keys. Home by 8:05, finally shower and hit the computer. Oops gotta find my keys. After searching the entire house, Chris calls me and says did you put the key finder on them that I bought your Christmas last year? Um Yes, but there were too many things on my keys so I took them off and that is in my car....Not gonna help. We chatted about it and I asked Saint Anthony to please help me find my keys. Sure enough I walk outside retracing my steps when I got home last night. Remembered I pulled a sign out of my back seat to put in the yard for a new listing....Keys found....In the back seat! Whew!

Today, I made time for paleo breakfast. I have a lunch appt and will eat at Toastie's a new fabulous sub shop in DT Austin. Here is the best part....they have a sub called Banh Mi with slow roasted pulled pork topped with pickled cucumbers, red onion, carrots, topped with fresh Cilanto, red chile and a squeeze of lime. They put it over salad for me instead....Perfect!

Tonight no cooking....Family Date Night!!!! Going to see Taylor Swift and will eat a treat at Maria Maria...I will make it paleo for sure!
