Happy Friday!  

Last week I didn’t end up sending my newsletter because we were heading to the CrossFit Games and something really heartbreaking happened the first day with the loss of a competitor. It just didn’t feel right to send an email then. I haven’t followed CF the past few years so I didn’t know anything about him as an athlete, but the loss of any athlete is tragic. So join me in sending thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, and fellow competitors. Being at the CF Games was still nice, though, because the CF Community respected the athletes that chose to step down and the ones that chose to still compete. It was a beautiful representation to me that even in our differences we can stand together.

We have traveled a BUNCH over the past couple of months, some on planes and some in cars. One constant has been our packing cubes. We each have our own cube, and it makes it easier (and faster) to pack and unpack at our destination. 10/10 recommend packing cubes.

I recently started running again in preparation for HYROX in November, and a half marathon in January. I am going back and forth between a pair of Adidas runners and Reebok, and I have actually really been liking these Reebok Floatzigs. I truthfully initially got them because I thought they looked cool, but was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are to run in!

I shared last week about my favorite Everything Spray from Primally Pure. Well, they just had a glow up of their entire line, and everything is now in earth-friendly packaging. Look good, feel good, do good, you know? I love their deodorant- it’s one of the only natural deos that doesn’t irritate my armpits. Plus, it doesn’t clump like other natural deos do, and it isn’t bright white when you roll it on. All pluses in my book. You’ll get 10% off with this link!

Coming back from traveling always means we reach for easy-to-make dinner the first few days back (but let’s be honest, we choose easy every day). JustMeats has been a great option for us, because they have great quality protein options that taste delicious and are easy for us. They come frozen, and you defrost/heat whichever one you want for the night (or day, they’d make great lunches, too!). Some of our top favorites:

• Braised shredded beef

• Hawaiian Teriyaki Beef (or chicken)

• BBQ Brisket

This meal was Gabe’s fried rice with veggies and Hawaiian Shredded Pork (also a delicious one).

Anywho, that’s all I’ve got for you this weekend!

See you next week, same time same place.

Xoxo,
