Saturday was a blur...I did do double duty with my workouts and now today I am in FULL recovery mode. A2O Fitness hosted Idaho Kettle bells in our second workshop series with Jim Beaumont. He is quite an amazing trainer and athlete. We went through an hour and a half of instruction and workouts focusing on two new exercises that I am not sure if I love or hate. My legs are sore, my shoulders are sore, my abs are sore my back is sore and my feet are sore! YES my feet! We were taught the Turkish Get Up paired with Hindu squats. I am a believer...I had no idea my entire body from head to toe was working so hard with one single exercise. Jim shared a training challenge that incorporates the Turkish Get up and Kettlebell swings that he completes every year for 30 consecutive days. I feel the need to experiment on myself and see what happens...the link to the challenge is below. If you are interested let's support each other and do it this year as a team. Let's challenge our fitness and push ourselves to new limits, try something new and change the way we think about fitness. It doesn't have to be biceps curls and treadmills, running miles and miles and ab crunching ourselves into oblivion. Let's find more, let's grow and learn together and in the process change the way we feel about our fitness and health! You all know how to reach me:)

My Paleo find this week comes from another A2O Fitness trainer Alissa Aldrich. She and her husband are on week two of their new wheat free way of life and Alissa came about this recipe as a way to satisfy her husband's need for a tortilla or bread. In my house the same issue arises! I tried her recipe last night and it was a huge hit!
Again I round when cooking no real measurements here first because I don't like it and second I got rid of scales and measuring my food when I changed to the Paleo way...I was once quite obsessed with my food scale and measuring cups!
Ground flax about 3 to 4 TBSP
1 egg
pinch of sea salt
garlic powder about 1/4 tsp
onion powder about 1/4 tsp
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch pepper
pinch paprika
coconut oil about 1 TBSP
water or spinach or carrot juice (beet would be good too) 1 TBSP
Combine in bowl. Coat glass baking dish with coconut oil. Spread on dish and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes on high. Let cool for 5 minutes then remove with a spatula and use as bread or a tortilla wrap..here is a picture of my dinner. I spread homemade guacamole with shredded turkey and almond cheese! YUM! Everyone LOVED!
