Long post beware..paleo talk and fiesta talk!

I know I know! I haven't written in a long time on here. I kept getting out of my routine and forgetting. It's not like I have job here too so I don't know what that is about. I mean I run errands a lot, read, go to crossfit practically everyday. It's nice to have the hubby home early on most days.
  So what is new, well like I said don't have a job yet. Debating whether I should give up on a nursing job period while I am here. I just should work at the tanning place next to where I crossfit lol. I saw their sign they are hiring, but kind of hesitant about it. No reason in particular, but wondering where my temporary fit would be that I would somewhat enjoy getting some extra cash. Maybe I can waitress again! NOT! I did that all through my early 20s not again!

Cowboy at Fiesta

   Anyways, so this festival is called Fiesta has begun last week and lasts until the end of this weekend. I still don't understand the origin much, but it's very multicultural (very hispanic mostly) with food, music and carnivals. It just means traffic is insanely busier than it already is around here. I like it here, but boy is the traffic unpredictable. Do people work? How can there be so much traffic at 1pm in the afternoon.
  So last weekend, we didn't do much on Friday, but rather try this restaurant in the little historic town nearby because we wanted steak we thought it would be good. Turned out it was super expensive and Texas Roadhouse would of been better than their food. It was probably so darn expensive for their "view." Well, since I ate half my dinner and felt disgusted we decided to join some friends from Alex's training class for dinner (dessert for us) at the Lion and Rose, some British pub. We have been there before so it was pretty standard. I definitely should of not cheated with having creme bleu cheesecake :( I felt so sick that whole night. Sometimes it's just not worth having that cheat meal when you eat paleo.
  The next day was pretty fun. We just hung out in the morning and some errands. Later that evening we went to dinner and a show with another AF couple. We saw a symphony orchestra perform alongside mariachi and dancers. It was quite interesting and all the performers did great! They had some lungs some of those singers, especially this 11 year old boy who had us girls swooning over him. Ah man this dating years are going to be interesting! lol

   Sunday was pretty relaxed. We did make it out to brunch at this gluten free cafe we had found when first moved here and I was able to have a waffle which has been a very long time since I have had one! We also took our doggies on a walk at this giant park that has tons of open fields, dog park, soccer fields and trails.

     Paleo eating has been going for the most pretty well. We don't eat out all the time like before and make an effort to make all meals during the week and even weekends with occasionally outings to new restaurants once or 2x a week. We are also loving the crossfit gym we have joined and it feels like family instantly. Everyone is very welcoming and cheers everyone on as they finish. Makes it easier to get through these workouts.
   I don't know if I will post a blog everyday, but I will keep you all updated on my progress with crossfit and eating right. I do have my parents flying in Friday to visit, which is super exciting! I want to show them downtown and different places, so crossing my fingers the weather cooperates! Well, I better get going. Have a great day!!

Yay for new friends and new places!

I know I have been slacking on blogging, but I just caught up with being in a new place and exploring what it has to offer. I will feel so spoiled when I get to Mississippi from all the paleo friendly spots here and just all the things we are able to do.

The ladies right before we started

      We are lucky to have join a crossfit gym called The Vessel that has been very welcoming! We even went on a pub run with them this past Friday downtown and it was super fun! We got these delicious martinis at this place called Soho that were carrot cake and cream brulee (not paleo oh well!), but worth it. I have some pics of the crazy antics and the people we were with. It's good to know that we can pick up where we left off in Tucson with crossfit and even get better here. I mean it hasn't been smooth for me because of the humidity during the WODs, but I seem to recover better. Maybe it's the paleo eating, who knows? We are doing a pretty good job of not eating out so much. If we do it's probably 2 times a week at most. I enjoy trying out new recipes and discovering what works. Lately, the latest thing I made was a frittata from the Everyday Paleo family cookbook and for the two of us it lasted 5 days so it was nice to have breakfast already ready and just needed to be heated up. The hubby was grateful too. :)

  Other things going on right now is that I may need a root canal on a tooth because my previous dentists didn't take xrays for a long time to discover I had a cavity that was there a long time ago and started to decay. Granted a month ago I had the fillings for it, but still have this abscess looking thing on my gum. I know gross! So I hate the dentist and don't want to get it done, but this trumps losing a tooth. So this week I have consultation with a specialist to see what the deal is and when it's all going to be done.
   I wish I could write about other exciting news that I found out about, but you all will have to wait! It's not even about me, but I want to shout it from the mountain tops, but must wait. I am sure that annoys readers that I won't share, but it's not the right time.
  Lastly, may have a job at a infusion clinic here in town so that would be super neat. We will see though because I am here only until the end of July. Well, better get going have a great Monday!!
