Noodle bowls, I’m sorry!
Welcome back into my life!
That mushy-gushy looking stuff on top of a bed of Carba Nada pasta would be roasted eggplant.
All stirred up with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese!
I missed you, doughy pasta!
Blogger Boot Camp Update
Good news for Orlando-area readers and bloggers! After mentioning the idea on Friday, I received a bunch of interest in attending a free blogger boot camp class at my friend Ben’s brand new fitness facility, Saperia Fitness.
Ben’s Blogger Boot Camp will take place on Saturday, February 5 at 9 a.m. at Saperia Fitness.
According to Ben, the class will be “a station-based workout combining both cardiovascular and resistance training, delivering a full body workout. Bring water, a towel and a smile.”
Smiles are mandatory. 😀
Ben said that right now he can accommodate 10 people, so I will reserve a spot for the first 9 people (I make the 10th) who email me at pbfingers@gmail.com.
If the class is a success and everyone enjoys it, Ben said we may be able to make it a once-a-month class! Woo!
Can’t wait to get sch-weaty with you guys!
EDITED TO ADD: I’ve already heard from 10 people. The class is now full but I will definitely keep you posted if a spot opens up or if we plan another class in the future.

Also your Pasta looks delicious, I was wondering what types of cardio you do regularly? Do you mostly stick to running? Also besides cardio what types of lifting do you do for your toned arms (lookin good girl!)
