A happy productive Saturday to you!

This morning my fitness freak (I say this with affection) of a roommate Taryn was kind enough to guess pass me into her lovely gym, Commonwealth Sports Club in Allston. Girl lost 20 pounds in three months by dieting and exercising  – no shortcuts, no purging, no sugar-free/laxative candies. Bitch is mad old school! (again, with affection).

Kickboxing class, hooo! We uppercut, jabbed, and kicked until our I was literally quite red in the face. Soon after we set out to make the PERFECT smoothies…with the ingredients we had in our fridge.

Our parameters: vegan for me and low-cal/recovery for Taryn.
