AB Dip with a Twist

Hey everyone! Sorry Iโ€™m a little later posting today- itโ€™s been go go go all day ๐Ÿ™‚ Finally time to chillax a little. I loved reading your comments on the last post– itโ€™s comforting to know that Iโ€™m 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 youโ€™ve 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, yaโ€™ll know that I donโ€™t 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 yaโ€™ll 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

See the jar on the left? Itโ€™s mine and mine only. (Note: If Iโ€™m going to bake with almond butter, it comes from a separate jarโ€ฆ my jar is full of Gina germs)

Sometimesโ€ฆ.

Iโ€™ll 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??

Itโ€™s an excellent little treat ๐Ÿ˜€

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:

Iโ€™LL BE IN CHICAGO THE WEEKEND OF THE HEALTHY LIVING SUMMIT! ๐Ÿ™‚

I donโ€™t have a ticket yet, so if any of you have a hook-up, please let me know. If not, Iโ€™ll be there to meet everyone, chill and shop. I canโ€™t wait!

Have a lovely night <3

Something to think:

โ€œWhen youโ€™re experiencing peace, itโ€™s coming from within you, youโ€™re โ€˜doingโ€™ 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 wantโ€ฆ..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
