So the weekend was mellow and relaxing. We cooked all day Saturday after a brutal wod, and then Sunday relaxed by a gorgeous pool. I ate entirely too much watermelon and pigged out on tri-tip and strawberry spinach salad. Then we went to dinner at Sean and Amy's and had fish tacos. Also amazing. So to sum it all up we layed around an ate food Sunday. It was awesome.

As you know my hip has been bothering me for a good week now probably 2. I have been getting a lot of helpful stretch ideas and counseling from all the great coaches at CrossfitGP, but it just hasn't gotten any better. So I visited the chiropractor on Friday. He said it was my hip flexors. So he did some work on me and throughout the weekend it DID NOT get any better. I would say worse. So went back today and he said its a strain/ small tear. I told you guys it freakin hurts. So now I have to take time off of working out until its healed. Gotta nurse it back to health. Sucks but in the big picture it's gonna be okay. Thank goodness I am doing a no sugar no nuts thing right now. Otherwise I might blow up and become a fluffy chubby bunny. No paleo treats made by yours truly this week.
Last night I did my very first road bike ride. It was sooo fun! I always thought those people were crazy. But I can see why they do it. CAUSE its fun DUHHH!!! Amy asked me to go and her husband ever so kindly let me borrow his oh so professional bike and it was awesome. I got a picture, I look like a geek but I don't care. We did a 15 ride. That seems pretty dang good if you ask me. I climbed a pretty good size hill too.
Its blackberry picking time people!! Ohhhh yeah. I see blackberry treats in my future, and yours too! Tomorrow evening we are going picking. Taking the men with us and that way we get twice as many berries in half the time. Another awesome advantage that I can add to this berry picking trip is that I cant eat them as I pick them. That's a good thing, more produce to take home.
So last weekend I made this zucchini bread and it is seriously so yummy and delicious. So moist and perfect. I made the frosting from the Zoom Muffins and wasn't shy with the amount either. It was heaven. I took the leftovers to Sean and Scott at work on Monday so I wasn't tempted on my no sugar reggi.
Zucchini Banana But Bread
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup grated zucchini water squeezed out
3 eggs
2 tbsp raw honey
1 banana mashed
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsp coconut oil melted
Preheat your oven to 350F
In a bread pan or a "upside down cake pan" with the cool divits, spray with your handy dandy BEST INVENTION EVER coconut oil.
Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl and wet in another medium sized bowl. Add your dry to your wet and make sure all your ingredients are nicely incorporated. Scoop into your pan of choice and back for about 30-32 minutes. Until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cook for about 10 minutes and place on cooling rack to cool completely. Eat as is or add that delicious frosting. Or Just keep in simple with some coconut butter, if you want to get all crazy on it put some pasteurized butter on it. I bet that's tasty.
But you should make this. Your taste buds would love you. For at least....24 hours.
