Am I stressed? A little....Do I feel like a bum...Yes. Am I still smiling? OF COURSE! Probably bigger then before cause I just lost a huge headache.
Guess what else is awesome about it?
I can workout at whatever Crossfit class time I want. I already worked from home so cleaning, laundry, cooking and all those susie homemaker traits are embedded in me. Well let me be honest with myself, this has been me for years. I actually enjoy doing that kind of stuff. It's fun to me. :)) So I predict that I will get all OCD on our house and make everything sparkle.
Running endurance class starts this Wednesday people! I am getting nervous for it. It's gonna be awesome! Sign up if you havent yet....http://crossfitgp.com/?page_id=4520
I had a fun weekend, Saturday afternoon I got to spend with one of my very favorite people. Ms. Terri Foster. She is THE most caring, loving, giving, nicest person I know. I am so lucky to have such a genuine lady in my life. I love you Terri!
We went to dinner at BamBu's in Medford. So yummy, we shared a arugula mango salad, chicken curry and some sort of fish sampler. Delish. Then we went to the mall got some supplies and went to TJMAXX. A trip to Medford for her and I wouldnt be complete without a maxinista stop. Then Sunday we went to Terri and Dan's for a BBQ lunch, fresh watermelon, spinach salad and burgers. Yum!

After we got back from the BBQ we did a major grocery shopping trip and bought the entire store. Not really, but we got so much stuff the cart was hard to push around corners. Pfffttt, don't even think about calling me a whimp.
We had our friend Stu over for dinner. We are in the process of trying to convert him over to Crossfit and Paleo. Muuahahahahahahahaah (evil laugh) But really, they are both so awesome why wouldn't you want to?!
My throat hurts, why???!!????! Its the middle of summer, and a sore throat? Im gonna blame it on the fact that last night Scott and I passed out on the couch and woke up at midnight all hot and confused where we were and why we weren't in bed. I am also going to take a good guess that my mouth was open cause I was obviously out hard, so maybe it got dry...?? Yeah, lets go with that cause no one wants a cold in the middle of the summer. Especcially right after being granted freedom. I guess our rest day took a toll on us! So funny.
Here's the recipe, try it, love it, make it for your friends and family. It's an awesome summer night dinner, light and refreshing! YUM! :))

Mango Fish Taco Salad
Avo Cilantro Spread
1/4 cup grapeseed oil (or sesame)
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
juice of 1 lime
1 ripe avo
1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper
Combine all ingredients in your food processer (my best friend), blend until you get a smooth creamy shiny texture. Place in fridge to chill while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Salad
Equal parts romaine lettuce and shredded cabbage (I used red and green cabbage for presentation)
Red onion sliced paper thin

diced mango
macadamia nuts (these nuts are so dang expensive! Like really?!?!)
cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
Assemble the salad layered or tossed.
Fish
1 1/2 lbs of Cod, or whatever fish you'd like really. I have used Halibut and Talapia as well.
2-3 tbsp coconut oil for sauteeing
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
3 tsp smoked paprika
dash of red chili flakes
In pan bring oil to medium heat, add fish to pan and season generously. Cook until opaque and fish flakes easily. Remove from heat.
Grab a plate, bowl whatevers clever, toss some salad on there, layer with fish, nuts, avo cilantro cream and fresh salsa if you want to get extra crazy.
