I'm not sure if you've heard of this site, but it's AWESOME.
They sell gently used clothes at a pretty damn good price. If you need to restock your wardrobe, are just looking for some new, easy staples, or going for a complete change, check them out.
They also have kids clothes, AND buy back YOUR used clothes! You can send them a bag (for free!) of clothes you have laying around, and they give you money! Either cash, or credit for the site.
I've got lots of work clothes from here, and I've loved almost everything. Returns are free if it doesn't fit, just pay the shipping. (if it fits, it ships!)
ThredUp contacted me to be an ambassador (apparently I spend too much money there. lol), and offered a 30% off discount code for new customers. That's better than their free shipping promo going on! Use promo code: SAVETU30 to get your deal!
They also have sales going on all the time. The last pair of GAP dress pants I ordered were $8.99. That's cheaper than a clearance rack! I'm still waiting for them to carry better workout clothes. :P
Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Whole30 Success! (a little late)
It's been over a month since we've finished the Whole30. I'm slacking at blogging, as usual.
August 30th we finished the Whole30. A whole 30 days of super clean, REAL FOOD. Here's what I learned:
1. It's not.that.hard. - Seriously, not that difficult. Sure it's a PITA to cook every.single.meal., but make a plan, and stick to it! You'll find it's easier to eat at home then eating out...
2. Restaurants suck. There is soy in EV.ER.Y.THING. Seriously, Chipotle? Ruining everything with soybean oil... Moe's? Why does your steak need to have "milk products" in it? It's fucking STEAK. Blech. Also, sweet potatoes with added sugar? What the what? C'mon people.
3. People will think you're weird. - You'll have to explain what you're doing, and why you're doing it, multiple times. Get used to it. Memorize it. Give them your It Starts with Food book.
4. You will feel FAN-fucking-TASTIC. - They aren't kidding.
5. It's a good thing I like to cook. We had a different meal for dinner for each day (with the exception of burgers. There were quite a few nekkid burgers). This challenge would have been mighty boring eating the same thing every day.
6. I miss pancakes. Paleo pancakes, but pancakes. And waffles. I made pumpkin pancakes that weekend and I swear they were the best thing I've ever tasted.
7. I don't miss bread. I DO miss ice cream. And alcohol. And snacks.
8. I love eggs. Scrambled eggs with Tessamae's hot sauce has been my favorite breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, ever. Omelettes are the shit.
10. Sweet potato fries, fried in coconut oil, are the best thing since sliced bread. But better.
11. We need a bigger dishwasher. I've been running it once a day, and that's not enough. It's full of tupperwares 24/7.
12. We're going to keep eating like this as much as possible. I won't be too picky about going out to eat, but we don't do that often to begin with. We're only going off-roading if it's reaaaaallllyy worth it. Paleo "treats" only on the weekend.
We have started adding stuff back, and I'm happy that the "reactions" haven't been all that bad. Sure, I still feel tired, sluggish, bloated and crampy, but it's nothing I can't deal with occasionally. Gluten (beer), and sugar, and probably soy were tested this weekend, with no major issues. Dairy isn't all that nice to us, so we've cut it down significantly. I've had ice cream once, and I'm sure it's in some of the food we eat out (I'm looking at you, STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SYRUP), but for the most part, we've cut dairy. I don't really miss it (thanks to coconut milk), and my face is thanking me for it :)
SO! Drumroll please........................
I'm sure you want the "final" results, eh? Sean and I both lost 8 lbs. Down almost 2% body fat. I PR'd my deadlift by 10#s. Sean's a beast and racked all our weights, and did 320#, twice. I ran my fastest 2 miles, ever, without running for 6+ months. We feel great, and don't feel deprived. It's awesome what eating real food and not processed crap/chemicals will do for you!
Day 1 off Whole30:
I made THE BEST PALEO PIZZA EVER to celebrate. Seriously, amazing. I don't think I'll ever make a regular pizza again. A- It's not worth it unless it's NJ/NY pizza. B- This is a bangin substitute. It was still technically whole30 compliant with the ingredients, but some might call it "SWYPO" ;) I topped it with sauce, sausage, peppers, and onions. #NOMS
Saturday was fantasy football draft day, so of course there were beers. Pumpkin beers. This was the gluten test. So far so good.
And paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. <---I added an egg to that recipe.

Primal Peach Cobbler
I'm once again stuck with a fruit from our CSA that I have no idea what to do with. We don't particularly like peaches, so just eating them was out of the question. Next best thing? Baking!
I made some coconut milk ice cream to go along with this and it was uh-maz-ing. You should try it. ;)
Primal Peach Cobbler
Filling:
4-5 peaches, chopped
1/2 cup organic cane sugar/coconut sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
4-5 peaches, chopped
1/2 cup organic cane sugar/coconut sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Topping:
1 1/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup pecans
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp organic cane sugar/coconut sugar
1/2 cup butter (8 tbsps), room temperature
1 1/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup pecans
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp organic cane sugar/coconut sugar
1/2 cup butter (8 tbsps), room temperature
Preheat oven to 375. Peel and chop peaches and mix with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg in 8 x 11 baking dish.
In small pan on stove, toast pecans until lightly browned and smell nutty, about 3-5 min. Watch closely and stir often so they don't burn. Set aside to cool.
Mix together almond meal, cinnamon and sugar. When pecans have cooled slightly, coarsely chop using food processor, slap and chop, or a knife (be careful!). Add chopped pecans to almond flour.
Cut butter into small pieces and mix into almond flour mixture using pastry blender, fork, or your hands.
Sprinkle topping evenly over peaches in baking dish. Bake for 40-45 min. Let cool slightly and serve vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Yum!
The ice cream is necessary.
Whole30, Take two.
Attempting this once again. I think I made it two weeks last August, but I'm determined to make the whole 30 days this time! Sean's on board for this go round, so that'll make it easier (I hope!).
So far we've survived the beach, a Phillies game, and a family visit. In the first 7 days. Apparently we're busier than I thought in August! Or we're just spontaneous. Let's go with that.
We're more than halfway through! So far it's easier than I thought it would be. Yes, I want ice cream every night, but knowing I can't have it, not just that I shouldn't, really helps.
And yes, I did stay up until midnight a few times prepping/cooking foods so we'd have lunch the next day. It's a good thing I like to cook.
I've made a meal plan for dinners through the month of August. I just have to keep figuring out breakfast/lunches. HB eggs and deli turkey are getting old, quickly.
I should start making a list of all the foods I'm really missing. Beer. Ice cream. Cheeeeeeeeeeeese. Surprisingly, I'm not missing the cream in my coffee as much as I thought I would. (Good) black coffee is actually pretty delicious on it's own. Once I get past the fact that there's no cream in it. haha And Americano > Black coffee. Mmmmm so delicious!
The WOD a few weeks ago was terrible. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the 4th day in a row, or the 155# back squats, orrrrrrrrrrr GHD SITUPS (damn them), but it still hurt to walk Wednesday (from Monday!). We planned to take off tuesday, but the DOMS was just so bad that it called for two rest days. Oh well, life happens.
Then earlier this week we did heeeeeeeavy deadlifts. I'm pretty sure my hamstrings are STILL sore. I think I need to get into this post-workout snack thing. However, I wasn't tired during the WOD! Day 15, and I think I'm starting to feel the "tiger blood" :). I think we may consider eating this way for the long term.
Here's some eats from the past two weeks:
Paleo pad Thai from "Well Fed"
Taco salad! Love me some guac.
Attempting to stretch post-WOD. Not happening.
These La Croix drinks have been a lifesaver.
Watermelon + ice + lime juice, top with La Croix lime.
Somebody is not so happy about the Whole30 ;)
So we'll probably keep this up for awhile after 30 days. It's not as difficult as it seems, except for eating out, that sucks. And beer. And pizza. Lol. Having Sean do it as well for support really helps. Not stepping on the scale has been tempting, but I'm excited to see what the final results are. 12 more days!

Seriously, 26? How did we get so old?
Last week was my birthday. Remember when every birthday required a party or get together of some sort? When did that stop? When did I not care about seeing everybody to celebrate my day of birth?
I even WORKED on my birthday. I know. Blasphemy. This must mean I'm REAAAAALLLLYY old.
But I more than made up for that with a(n unintentional) 6 day weekend. No complaints here :)
After work we started the celebration with a birthday WOD. 26 (age) reps of 7 (month) exercises. I initially had 3 rounds (day), but Sean talked me out of that one. Good idea, babe.
(Future reference: don't let me write your birthday workout)
It was rough.
I sported my new Under Armor headband that I got on our trip to the UA HQ in Baltimore. It's awesome (the store, and the headband)
Then we cleaned up and went for sushi. Sean's idea. Fantastic idea. It turned out to be 1/2 price wine night, so sommmmebodyyyy got an entire bottle of wine to herself. Worth it!
And obVEE we had to get ice cream. It's just not a birthday without ice cream. And Sean got me this sweet new tablet.
I guess turning 26 isn't so bad :-)

Snatch City, B*tch...
Snatch, snatch city, bitch.
So we kinda signed up for our first CrossFit competition. There's two online qualifiers, and the top 20 men and top 20 women get to compete in Rehoboth one weekend in July. I mean, I'll take almost any excuse to spend a day (weekend?) at the beach :D
We signed up awhile ago, and I've been kind of scared ever since. The description says it's for the "heavy hitters" and I am by no means a heavy hitter. But I'd like to be... (200# club I'm coming for you!)
Random sidenote: We did deadlifts the other day that felt GREAT. 3 rep max @ 165#. I figured out my issue, I was trying to squat rather than deadlift. Don't ask. I don't know what I was thinking either. Thank you KStar. #becomingasuppleleopard
Another random sidenote... HASHTAGS ARE ON FACEBOOK! (Can you tell I'm excited?) Can they come to blogger next? Pretty please?
Back on track.
So the first online qualifier WOD was posted early on Thursday night.
7 min AMRAP
3 Snatch 115/80
3 Bar Facing Burpees (jump over)
6 Snatch 115/80
6 Bar Facing Burpees
9 Snatch 115/80
9 Bar Facing Burpees
12 Snatch 115/80
12 Bar Facing Burpees
Continue in increments of +3 for a total of 7 min.
Not too bad. Considering I think my 1RM snatch is 85#. No big deal, right? lol Like I said, not a heavy hitter over here! I guess it could be worse.
We lugged our bumper plates to Sean's gym and filmed the WOD there. I got 6 snatches into the 12th rep round. 42 reps total. Better than I expected to do!

Don't mind the terrible form towards the end. I'm working on it. And apparently I like to walk around with the barbell overhead. And my husband can't hold a cell phone camera. (hopefully this won't disqualify me. :( ...that is if I even have a good enough score!)
I did the math, and so far there are 71 people registered for the online portion of the competition. 26 women. If I play my cards right and basically don't come in last, I may just get my trip to the beach :D
And then I can freak the fuck out and be terrified of what weights they are going to prescribe for the competition. Such fun. Lifting is such a mindfuck.
Deadlifting a 75 gallon fishtank on moving day should help prepare for that. Yaaaaaaay.
Oh, in case you're wondering, Sean did amazing as well. Got through the snatches AND burpees for 12 reps for a total score of 60. He's got a little tougher trip to the final comp, but I think he has a good chance :)
I'm obviously the better photographer. And can control the dog from wandering all over the place and getting in the way.
Too bad he couldn't just do his job and watch the damn clock the whole time!
If you need me, I'll be laying on the foam roller...

What we've been up to lately
Photo Dump!
Confession. I've been a slacker. I take the pictures, but I forget to post them. Oops. Here's some of what's been going down in DE for the last few months.
Oh, and CHECK OUT THIS SHIT:
That's right. 7th in my age group! 71st overall. #BOOMSAUCE
Took Yankee on a walk in a new to us park. And the required cuddles afterwards!
I don't think we have enough?
Yankee getting his WOD on.
Apparently this was the week of the "Girls" and Schmalls. Holy suckfest. This is also the week I learned how to do kipping pullups. LOTS of them. I have since developed some nice calluses to show for that. Oucccchhhhhhh.
These are my coconut flour paleo waffles. Except I used 8 eggs (total) instead of the whites. Same outcome, much less planning! Oh, and homemade coconut milk chocolate ice cream. This was dinner last week. #thesprinklesarentpaleo
We drove up to PNC for the Pitbull concert. Lotsssssss of good people watching. They were there for Ke$ha. 'Nuff said.
Sean decided to rock his Yankees shirt with a Marlins hat to the Phillies game. No one noticed. They must've been too busy watching me trying to eat that ginormous turkey leg. #paleoerrrywhere
And now for some Yankee pics:
Sneaky sneaky. Trying to get into his new treats!
Enjoying some front seat riding in styyyyyyyyyle.
Is he serious?
I cannot handle the cuteness.
For real, this dog lives a better life then we do.

Four years of marriage!
But on the other hand, SO MUCH has happened in those four years. Moved out of NJ, got new jobs, new cars, and as of next month, a new house! Whoop!
We went to OCMD two weeks ago as an early, somewhat celebration. It was lots of fun. Stopped at Rehobeth on the way down, and will definitely be taking lots of day trips down there this summer!
Normal occurrence. He thinks he's a lap dog.
Fresh made donuts from "The Fractured Prune" So.good.
We attempted to take Yankee on a walk through this park on Saturday, but got caught in the middle of a thunderstorm! Tried to wait it out under a tree, and then made a run for it and hung out in a dugout until it finished. Figures. Was pretty cool, but we were SOAKED and so over the walk at that point. We finally got our walk in Sunday morning before we left. Very pretty.
Our new house has a fenced in backyard for Yankee. He's going to LOVE it :) Oh and stairs. Fatty McYank will finally be in shape!
You'd think he has the worst life ever. The toy is SOFARAWAY.
We close June 26th (hopefully!). Anyone want to help us move? ;) I pay in pizza, beer and baked goods!

Bacon/Brussels/Sweet Potato Hash + Crossfit Total
Soooo this could probably be labeled as a "breakfast" hash, but since I've never had it for breakfast, it's not. Plus, I could eat eggs for every meal and probably never get sick of them. Seriously, had fried eggs for breakfast AND lunch yesterday. Makes a great pre-workout snack, too. ;) Oh, and don't forget the BACON!
Now I know you're going to tell me you don't like Brussels sprouts. I thought I didn't either. Lies. Roast the shit out of those suckers. Add bacon. Delicious.
Another way to get people (yourself!) to like them is buying the bag of "shaved brussels sprouts" from Trader Joe's. That's what I used here. I'm sure you could chop them up yourselves, but this is just so much easier! And add bacon. Duh.
Without further adieu, my favorite breakfast for dinner recipe:
Bacon/Brussels/Sweet Potato Hash
source: How Sweet it is
4-6 slices bacon (who am I kidding, always use more)
1 small red onion, diced
2 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cups shredded brussels sprouts
4-6 large eggs
salt + pepper to taste
Fry bacon in skillet until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towel. Add chopped sweet potato and onion to bacon grease and cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. you may need to add a little coconut oil if they start sticking. Add brussels sprouts and stir to combine everything, cooking another 4-5 minutes until wilted, but still crunchy. Set aside to cool a bit.
Fry up eggs in another frying pan, and place atop hash. Stuff your face!
I always get 4 servings out of this, 2 for us for dinner, and 2 more for lunch the next day. It's also a quick, easy meal to make when I forget to pull meat out to defrost. (...which is more often then I'd like to admit!)
We ran out of bacon last week, and it took a few days for me to get to the store to pick some more up. I obviously needed to make up for some lost time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, let me set the scene for how our weekends go around here:
Thursday evening, checking the WOD blog last week, I'm in the kitchen, Sean's on the couch.
Sean: I'm going to tell you the warm up and after bash, guess what the WOD is.
Me: Okay... (thinking it's Murph - naturally)
Sean: Skill Warmup is "Total Skills"; After Bash: "Ring that PR Bell!"
Me: Uhhhhhh Crossfit Total?
YUP!
PR SATURDAY BABY!
I'm still not a member of the 200 club. :sadface: I tried. I failed. (literally dropped the weight on myself. That was fun.) God, I want it so bad. IT'S SO CLOSE.
I DID make significant improvements though! +15# on back squat, +10# on strict press, +20# on my deadlift. Whoop! Sean did well, too. Up to 795# total from 770#. In almost four months. We celebrated with some beers.
We're going to need more bumper plates veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrry soon. Or well, now. But I don't feel like dropping $200, so OB-VEE we're waiting for a sale. Or something like that... :D
PR's are fun, bro.
