CrossFit, Cauli-Rice Recipe, favorite people, and you guys! Thankful Things Thursday

Thankful Things Thursday
I haven't done a TTT in a long time, so here it goes...
 
1. I am THANKFUL for my BOX. Crossfit Coastline has been a great place to take my fitness to a whole new level. My coach Jennifer (www.TrainingaTrainer.com) has been amazing. We usually look like this when we crawl walk out of class...
We recently recorded a commercial for CrossFit Coastline. I am in the opening of the commercial throwing the weight up and in the middle doing the box jumps. Check it out if you want too.

 
2. I am THANKFUL for the results I am seeing doing CrossFit and running. I have always struggled with toothpick legs. Now that I am getting some muscle growth and definition, they don't look too bad.

 
 3. I am also THANKFUL for the weightloss I have had over the last 2 years with a combination of running/weight training/Paleo diet/and now Crossfit...
 
4. I am THANKFUL I have had such a great success with the Paleo diet and have learned healthy ways to prepare some of my favorite dishes...
Mexican Cauli-rice
(modified version of PeaceLoveandLowCarb recipe)
1."Rice" cauliflower heads in food processor (use a cheese grater)
2. Saute 4 garlic cloves, 1chopped jalapeno and half of a yellow onion (chopped) in coconut oil till soft
3. Add "rice" to mixture
4. Add 1 tbsp of cumin and 1 tbsp of chili powder
5. Saute for about 8 minutes

6. Puree a tomato in food processor (or use canned tomatoes)
7. Add 1 1/2 cups water and tomato puree to "rice" mixture.
8. Simmer on low for 30 minutes
9. Turn stove to high and cook off remaining liquid.
10. Serve and ENJOY.
Yields about 4 servings as a dish or 8 as a side dish
 
5. I am THANKFUL that I found a local Jamaican Restaurant that will make me delicious Paleo meals and juices. I love this place. If you are local its a little hole in the wall on Azalea Rd across from the side of Davidson high school. Its amazing. If you go tell them I sent you.


I am THANKFUL I joined the SBBC with my southern sista Amanda (www.RuntotheFinish.com). And I am glad that I received my LockLaces from joining the SBBC and that they match my Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2's to the T.
If you want to order a pair of LockLaces for your shoes, and trust me you will LOVE them. My other southern sista blend KAT (www.SneakersandFingerpaints.com) has a great deal for you. Go to www.locklaces.com and pick your perfect color and use the code TLT4C for free shipping and 20% will go to our Marine Corp Marathon charity The Little Things for Cancer.
Kat and I will be running the Marine Corp Marathon to raise money for the TLT4C.
6. I am THANKFUL for the TLT4C racing team for doing such great things and inviting me to join them. What is the TLT4C?

7. I am THANKFUL that I have such a great group of girls to run local races with. We have all become such great friends and can count on each other for the motivation to get up and move. Oh and wearing monkey hats while running is pretty flipping awesome too! 

 
8. I am THANKFUL for crazy fast running friends that hold flipping awesome contest. Its even better when I win them:) @RUNEMZ had a #444 contest on Instagram and you had to email her a picture of you on a treadmill and you got bonus love for ending your runs in 44. SOOOOO since it was a speed work day, I thought it only fitting to do 1 minute interval speedwork at the .44! Here is my winning pic...
I am not sure what she is sending me but it is supposed to be a box of awesome things, so when I get it, you guys will be the first to know! If you don't know @RUNEMZ you should, she is AMAZING. Anyone who can run 10, 20, 25, 30, 45, 50+ miles on a treadmill has to be AMAZEBALLS! Go check her out! You can follow me on Instagram @0to26point2
 
9. Last but not least I am THANKFUL for all of you guys. Without y'all I would not be where I am at in my health and fitness life. You guys motivate me everyday to keep going and break through those moments of "I cants". I hope that I inspire you guys as much as you inspire me!
