Amazing! All I can say is that my CrossFit career (shall I say haha) is really falling into place!
I got the official email asking me for my help as a new assistant/trainer for 5150 in Signal Hill/Long Beach, Ca.
This is such fabulous news! I feel incredibly lucky and incredibly blessed to have such a huge opportunity to start coaching people!
I just hope that I can become a good coach. I know it won't happen overnight, but in time I know I can be. All I want to do is help better people's lives!
Man, I love CrossFit.

SICK AGAIN?!!!
REALLY?! It's Christmas day and I just slept for 16 hours today. I feel like maybe I've finally gotten the rest I needed in order to function normally. I think I have bronchitis again, (it all started in college), and i had body aches and a fever all night long.
I guess it's a culmination of so much that's happened this past year and of course it had to come down hard on Christmas day boo... :(
Luckily, I am feeling much better now and hopefully I'm on the road to a fast recovery.
I promise in the new year to stop stressin' out so much!
AND, it's all about paleo all the time. I noticed that it's the only way that my body feels like it's working at it's best.... because of being sick for a full week and then also being away on awesome snow trips, I haven't worked out in 2 weeks. Time to get my butt in gear.....
WE ARE headed for an awesome 2012! I can feel it!

1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend
Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Blend all ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer.
On a parchment lined baking sheet, drop spoonful of batter (about 1-2 tablespoons in size)
