AB Dip with a Twist
Hey everyone! Sorry Iโm a little later posting today- itโs been go go go all day ๐ Finally time to chillax a little. I loved reading your comments on the last post– itโs comforting to know that Iโm not only one totally freaking out about the oil spill, but heartbreaking that we have to think and worry about it in the first place.
I hope youโve had a fabulous Friday <3
After teaching bootcamp this morning, I did my own weights + cardio workout before my training appointment.
I chugged some Vega after my sesh for protein powahhh:
When I got back to the casa after work, I really wanted to try a sweet omelet like my friend Heaby was raving about yesterday.
In the skillet, I cooked up:
-1 egg + 2 egg whites
Then filled the omelet with:
-1 T strawberry jam
-1 serving of Bucheron goat cheese
-foodgasms
H!#@* hd%&ds*#&@*(.
For real.
So, yaโll know that I donโt blog all of my meals. It works really well for some people, but notsomuch for me. With how much I snack, it would get to be a little OCD and yaโll would see a lot of random bites and almond butter covered spoons.
Confession: I am a pathological almond butter dipper– I do it almost every day ๐
See the jar on the left? Itโs mine and mine only. (Note: If Iโm going to bake with almond butter, it comes from a separate jarโฆ my jar is full of Gina germs)
Sometimesโฆ.
Iโll toss some vegan chocolate chips into the jar:
And scoop out bites with a spoon so each bite has almond butter and chocolate chips:
I know, right??
Itโs an excellent little treat ๐
Today, I also enjoyed one of my favorite juice creations before hitting up Target, Publizzle and our sorry mall.
Wheatgrass, apple and ginger
Ahhhhmazing.
Some fun news:
IโLL BE IN CHICAGO THE WEEKEND OF THE HEALTHY LIVING SUMMIT! ๐
I donโt have a ticket yet, so if any of you have a hook-up, please let me know. If not, Iโll be there to meet everyone, chill and shop. I canโt wait!
Have a lovely night <3
Gina
Something to think:
โWhen youโre experiencing peace, itโs coming from within you, youโre โdoingโ peace. And this is true of anything else you might be looking for. Love, happiness, contentment, well-being come from within. Nothing external needs to change for you to have what you wantโฆ..If you want to be happier โ be happier. If you want to be more relaxed โ relax. If you want more friends โ be friendly. Sounds simple. It is.โ Cheri Huber
