Hey guys! How are ya? Happy INDIAN FOOD Wednesday! Who’s celebrating?? You know I am 
Last night was pretty chill… unlike Glee, which was INTENSE. (I changed the channel from Biggest Loser to Glee…. Personal trainer, but I was a musical theatre nerd loooong before I got into fitness. Gotta stick to my roots, yo) Poker Face rocked my face off 
Post weights snack was courtesy of the Vega Fairy, who sent these lovely goodies:
(Disclaimer: yes, these were a gift from Vega, but I only accept products for the blog that I would purchase with my own money –I just bought a boatload of Vega stuff in Hotlanta- and use on a regular basis. You’ll never see random stuff here)
Vega Shake and Go Smoothie in Vanilla Almondilla and Tropical Tango
At first I was wondering which cup to use and I remembered THIS!
A GLASS smoothie shaker that my friend Ashley surprised me with
It was perfect for my smoothie-to-go
The verdict? Amazing. But seriously, when do I not like Vega stuff? Plant-based protein, tastes like heaven, mostly raw… it was smoothie love at first sip
Dinner:
Salad with honey mustard dressing, grape tomatoes and Garlic Gold
2 cups of Trader Joes Vegan Black bean soup.. which I de-veganized with a blanket of goat gouda
(Wish I had some cilantro to garnish… brown soup isn’t very aesthetically appealing, haha)
and still snacky, I had some millet bread with almond butter and jam.
Sometimes you’ve gotta fill it with millet
It’s time to do this morning’s Insanity workout with Ashley and then head to work.
Want some raw macaroons??
Head over to my friend Angela’s Shop 4 a Cause silent auction for charity – I donated a batch of macaroons for the amazing cause and am happy to pay international shipping to the highest bidder.
Happy shopping!

Something to talk about: What’s your “signature dessert”? Something you’d be most likely to order from a restaurant or make for company. My number one is probably the macaroon, but number two would have to be a pizookie

o.k….so after hearing about this stinking insanity workout forever, i went and bought it! but now today i’m wondering….”if im doing this wokout craziness for a few months, whats next?”. are you going to use it forever? am i gonna gain a bunch of weight when im done for a while? am i gonna have to move on to something even more extreme afterwards? whats the low down.
and um…youre awesome!
hey melissa,
i definitely wouldn’t do the workout forever because it’s INTENSE. my plan is to get more into spinning and yoga when i’m done and have maybe 2-3 insanity days each week to maintain my results. then i probably repeat the whole program maybe once a year?? i’ve also heard you can combine insanity with p90x if that’s something you wanted to do, too

Oohh.. I can make a mean Tiramisu! But I have found that it’s not for everyone.
Sadly some don’t like the coffee flavor or the rum added. But I don’t let that get me down – I rock it anyways! Your macaroons looked SO amazing!!!! 
hey gina!
could you add the egg puff tutorial link to your “cookbook” links?
gracias!
YES! thank you for reminding me
Is the garlic gold gluten free?
yes! it’s just spices and dried garlic…and tastes amazing
Holy Work Out!!! I did the speed work out today…thanks so much I am soo going to shape up quick!!
Hi Gina!
I love your blog… I have similiar ideals about food but I struggle a lot when it comes to caffeine.. I know it is not really good for me and I always tell myself I am going to get off of it but I just can’t seem to quit. I love herbal teas much more than I do coffee. I feel as if my classmates in college actually have started to associate me with coffee. I also have found that I stress out a lot, miss work outs, etc. when I have had a lot of caffeine that day. I feel like my body is so drained and I just keep going back to it. What are your tips to wean off of the coffee/caffeine habit.
Thank you!
Whitney
