Welcome back, Pork

H guys ๐Ÿ™‚ Howโ€™s your April 1st going??

Last night, I just didnโ€™t feel like Indian food even though I had all of the ingredients at home.

So I did what any hungry Valdizzy girl would doโ€ฆ

went to Smoking Pig and got some BBQ.

I got French fries, a pulled pork sandwich, and coleslaw.

Granted it wasnโ€™t a typical Gina meal, and I havenโ€™t had meat in almost two years and white bread since God-knows-when, but since I still eat fish and figured that pork is kind of like white meat and white bread isnโ€™t so bad, I decided to roll with it.

It was so delicious!!!

It was kind of an indulgent meal, but no worries since Iโ€™m starting the Cookie Diet today.

Cookies ALL DAY? Every day?!? Dreams do come true, my friends.

Well Iโ€™m off to have a cookie and try a new workout I heard about. Apparently if you visualize yourself exercising, it has similar effects to actually exercising. So Iโ€™m off to the yoga room to think about vinyasa, running and lifting weights for an hour. Awesome.

Oh, and Happy April Fools ๐Ÿ˜‰

Be back with a *real* post this afternoon.

xoxo,

Gina

    I have to say, as soon as I read “I didn’t feel like Indian food”, I *knew* this couldn’t be a real post. That’s like saying the Pope didn’t feel like being holy today ๐Ÿ˜‰ Totally made my morning start off with chuckles..

    • Fitnessista on April 1, 2010 at 12:55 pm

      ahahahah i’m laughing so hard at the pope thing. very true ๐Ÿ™‚

    wow….I actually had to check to make sure I was reading the right blog!!! You got me!

  8. Kat on April 1, 2010 at 12:03 pm

    The pork dinner I went with then after I saw the cookie diet header, I KNEW this was for sure an april fools joke!! Silly girl..

  9. vanessa naidoo on April 1, 2010 at 12:16 pm

    this was too funny!!i look at yr blog daily for inspiration and i always marvel at your concoctions. thank you.Happy Easter

  10. shannonmarie (Rawdorable) on April 1, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    Too funny. I knew you’d never put a pulled pork sandwich on this site, unless it was for April Fools. I just opted not to post anything today at all.

    In the past I posted this baked blueberry muffin (http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2008/04/oops-i-did-it-again.html) that lead to a ton of confessions.

    The very next day, I felt bad about what I had done, posting this: http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2008/04/gotcha.html

    geez, am i gullible! i didn’t catch on until the visualizing exercise part. i was so disappointed with the cookie diet. i’m a fairly new reader to your blog, and i was thinking, ‘wow, i guess she’s not as knowledgable as i thought.’ i was so relieved that it was all a joke. you’re very tricksy! enjoy the rest of your day.

    • Fitnessista on April 1, 2010 at 12:53 pm

      hahah of course it was a joke! there’s no way i would do that.. even with how much i like cookies ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. brittney on April 1, 2010 at 12:50 pm

    I just got suckered.

    Nice going.

  13. Morgan @ Healthy Happy Place on April 1, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    hahah i knew this was a joke when you said you were going on a diet! you could have fooled me with the pork sandwich though!

  14. Allison @ Food For Healing on April 1, 2010 at 1:19 pm

    im always prepared for april fools. I don’t believe a word any one says on this day ha

  15. Kelly on April 1, 2010 at 1:25 pm

    You had me going for a second but not for too long! I kept checking to make sure I was on the right blog but I knew something fishy was going on!!

  16. Dee on April 1, 2010 at 2:11 pm

    I was surprised by the BBQ pork segment, but thought oh well, Gina can afford a bad food day. I didn’t get that you were April fooling until I read that you were going on the Cookie diet. Started cracking up right then!

  17. michele on April 1, 2010 at 2:14 pm

    You fooled me! I was thinking is she crazy more over the cookie diet than anything.

  18. Anon on April 1, 2010 at 2:17 pm

    Awww! I was gonna say anything from Smok’n Pig is DELICIOUS!

    • Fitnessista on April 1, 2010 at 2:18 pm

      it’s one of my pilot’s favorite places. i haven’t tried anything from there yet, but have heard amazing things!

  19. Katie on April 1, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Ha! The advertisement for the cookie diet with the picture of the girl in the purple leotard is a little ridiculous…

  20. Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) on April 1, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    I loved the line, “but since I still eat fish and figured that pork is kind of like white meat…” hahaha!!

  21. Melissa on April 1, 2010 at 2:50 pm

    You had me for a sec! I love April Fools Day!

  22. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) on April 1, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    Hey Girl, have an amazing time in the Bahamas! I mean, how could you not, right ๐Ÿ™‚

    Somewhere between the pulled pork and the cookies, there’s an April’s Fools joke…

  23. Ashley on April 1, 2010 at 3:46 pm

    Is it bad I think the pulled pork sandwich and fries look good? lol

    • Fitnessista on April 1, 2010 at 3:53 pm

      not at all! i used to eat pulled pork all the time before i stopped eating meat ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. Aoife - Adventures in Veg on April 1, 2010 at 3:50 pm

    Ha!! That was hilarious, at first I was like ‘what the…??! Pulled PORK!?’
    Brilliant ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Jessica @ Dairy Free Bety on April 1, 2010 at 4:10 pm

    hahahaa………… I hope no one took this seriously!
    i agree… the pulled pork was believable.. but the cookie diet? Really?
    Good one!
    I totally got sucked into the starbucks one ๐Ÿ˜‰ buggers…

  26. Hanna on April 1, 2010 at 5:59 pm

    funny!
    the diet thing actually didn’t shock me quite as much (but still a shocker!) since you seem to be such a strict eater, but the “new exercise” and the meat were a give away…
    although i strooonggly believe there is absolutely positively nothing wrong with bread (and meat for that matter)!

  27. Beth on April 1, 2010 at 6:31 pm

    God, I’m so gullible. I didn’t get it until “cookie diet.” HA!

  28. Susan @ Journey for Health on April 1, 2010 at 7:07 pm

    LOL….I read this early this morning (well, MY morning…I have a later start to my days than most people) and was wondering what was going on. I was feeling confused and curious WHY you’d be eating that, and especially eating pork since I know it’s not your thing.

    VERY cool and convincing post. Totally got me at first ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. Sana on April 1, 2010 at 9:38 pm

    I fell for it until the cookie diet ๐Ÿ™‚ Don’t let the mean comments get to you…it’s pretty obvious you were joking and it was funny!

  30. Danielle on April 1, 2010 at 9:40 pm

    To all the haters that didn’t like your post, I thought it was hilarious. I got pranked several times today and fell for every one of them except yours. Love your blog!

  31. Donna Porter on April 1, 2010 at 10:28 pm

    I certainly needed that laugh today!

  32. Kate on April 2, 2010 at 8:38 am

    Almost got me with the pulled pork until I read how white bread isn’t that bad and how pork is like fish. And is madonna a spokesperson for the cookie diet? seriously? haha

    Don’t worry about all the haters, some people see everything they read as gospel and don’t understand that it’s a food blog. You’re chronicling what you eat, not preaching to people about how they should be. I’ve been reading since around September and I have never felt that you ‘judge’ anyone for not eating the way you eat. You shouldn’t feel like you are offending anyone, or at least me!:)

  33. Kathie on April 2, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    I found this post rather funny! At first, i’ll be honest with ya, you were getting me..then i remembered it was April Fools and kept on reading and sure enough…APRIL FOOLs!! good one, Gina!! Love your humor! <3

  34. Carrie on April 2, 2010 at 8:50 pm

    I’ve been had… I was like…what the Fuuuuudddge???? lol ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. Michelle! on April 3, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    Not fooled at all…but funny ๐Ÿ™‚
