Finally uploaded the Surfset video! Check it out down below and make sure you are a subscriber on YouTube.
Last night, I went to the gym and was very happy with my productive routine. After running the half mile to the gym, I hopped on the elliptical for 15 minutes. I usually do the strength program on the Arc trainer which is 45 seconds of medium resistance, 15 seconds of hard resistance, repeat. Then I went over to the weights and did the following workout, using my own videos for inspiration:
- 1. Tabata Interval with Kettle bell swings
- 2a. 1 minute Hamstring curls w/ Physio Ball
- 2b. 1 minute Ball Pass w/ Physio Ball (repeat 2a & 2b for 3 sets)
- 3. Tabata Interval: Mountain Climbers, Burpee (squat thrust), bicycle crunches, push ups
- 4. Tabata Interval: Forward Lunge with Medicine Ball Rotation on the Left, Forward Lunge with Med Ball on the Right, V twist with Med Ball, Crunch with Med Ball
- 5. Bicep Curl with Shoulder Press (10 lb weights for 15 reps, 3 sets)
- 6. Plank for 1 minute (repeat 2x).
When I got home, friends Meghan and Elizabeth came over for a yummy dinner. I filmed a video earlier in the day and made the most delicious dessert. I knew I needed friends over to help eat the creation so I didn’t eat it all! I also made my Quinoa and Butternut Squash Faux Risotto. Both were a hit.
I’ll upload the desert recipe when I have the video edited but here is a sneak peek at how yummy it looks! Just in case you were curious, it’s healthy and jam-packed with nutrients, protein and fiber! Oh yes, and it’s gluten-free (easily made vegan to boot!).
I know some bloggers freeze their creations so that they last, but I feel like more often than not, I end up eating most my experiments. When you work from home, there are no coworkers to share with either! What is your solution to baking experiments?

Hey Sarah, I work at home too and when I am in the mood for food experiments I just limit the size. I made truffles last week for example, and had to make a whole cake (clean though), and only had to use half of it, instead of just eating the other half while I was making the truffles, I went straight to the pantry, wrapped it up and froze it. I have no idea what to do with half a cake, but at least it’s not in my way in the fridge. Or in my stomach.
I love making truffles! yummm. See, I still go after the frozen treats. Frozen cookies are amazing to me. I try to limit the size but I feel like it tastes different.
Sarah-
I absolutely love your site! Thanks for all of the great tips, recipes and workouts! I can’t wait for the recipe from this post’s dessert! Holy cow that looks AMAZING!
Thank you Susan! I was shocked at how good it actually was! It will be up soon I promise
I usually give stuff to the hubby to bring to work LOL! It’s only 6 people including me at my office and no one has a sweet tooth so it’s kind of a waste. I saw somewhere on Pinterest a website with recipes for 1 or 2 people (they had something like “cupcake for 2″, for example). Will have to find it again and maybe we can adapt those doses to our yummy healthy creations
I’ve now done the 4-minute KB tabata set 3x since you posted the video — love it!
