<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a heck of a time making these. First, my bananas weren't ripe enough. Then I forgot to buy coconut sugar. Then I didn't have enough butter. Then I didn't have enough eggs. In other words, I need to learn how to read a recipe before going to the grocery store!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
However, this time I cut my finger with the vegetable chopper when I was trying to wash it off, so I have a cooking injury. :(</div>

We had an in-house olympic lifting meet to learn how to lift in a competition environment. It was really fun cheering for the other athletes in my box that I work out next to every day. I stayed all the way until the end to watch the guys lift as heavy as they could. It was amazing. </div>

I thought that taking a week off between Paleo challenges would be a good idea so that I could get any food cravings out of my system. Definitely not a good idea. You know that phrase "all things in moderation"... um... yeah. I learned that one the hard way. It's funny how something I should already know I can totally forget overnight.<br />
<br />
Also, I took the week off of CrossFit to rest my back. So eating like crap + not working out = getting fat again. :( </div>

One or two of those would have been okay, but I had TEN cheat meals in one week. That is double what I had the previous six weeks. My stomach was upset and my face broke out. NEVER AGAIN!<br />
