Hey everyone :D Hope you’re having a lovely night! A little note about the giveaway: there’s still one more thing I need to do, so be on the lookout for it sometime tomorrow.

I’ve done a little pre-celebrating –and just had a glass of wine the size of my head so let’s see how this turns out ;)

Bday cards have come in the mail:

bdaycards

Mr. FedEx stopped by and brought a bday package from the familia

bdaybag

Full of fun gifties

goodies

Including snowman PJ pants, the new Buble CD, yogurt spoons, a cupcake plate, baby utensils and matching adult-sized one for the pilot, recipe cards, Bailey’s truffles, and a gift card to one of my favorite stores ever: WORLD MARKET :D

I blasted the Buble CD, coerced the pilot to dance with me, and made some omelets :D

His omelet:

hisomelet

3 eggs stuffed with proscuitto, chicken and mozarella left over from the cordon bleu and potato pan fried in organic butter with garlic

Her omelet:

1 egg + 1 egg white puffed in the microwave, topped with leftover Giada veggies and a salad beast with Goddess dressing

His workout:

(Just kidding.. but he really doesn’t have to do anything to look like a Roman god. If he eats a donut, it just makes his six-pack more defined. Man metabolism astounds me every day, haha)

Her workout:

Treadmill 4 miles Hill walking and sprint intervals; 45 minutes
Elliptical 5 minutes Level 5
Kettleball squats 6 lbs 3 sets of 12
Barbell deadlifts 20 lbs 3 sets of 12
Stability ball inner thigh squeeze Body weight 3 sets of 12
Plank Body weight 3 sets of 30 seconds
Prone dumbbell hamstring curl 8 lbs 3 sets of 12
Calf raises on a step Body weight 3 sets of 12
Dumbbell oblique toe reach 5 lbs 3 sets of 10 on each side
Total time: 1.5 hr    

His smoothie: Was PB & J and full of protein

Her smoothie: Was GREEN :D

Jeni made me chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting! See the one on the left?? I ate all the frosting and the top off that one :D And it was foodgasmic :) Thank you Jeni! <3

His pizza:

Organic marinara, baby bella mushrooms, sausage, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, mozarella

Her pizza:

Organic marinara, yellow squash, zucchini, sundried tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, balsamic vinegar and goat gouda

Topped with basil and red pepper flakes

herpizza (2)

(I only cut it in half for kicks.. you know I ate the whole thing)

The dough that made it possible:

Homemade brown rice flour and spelt dough with oregano, basil, garlic and extra virgin olive oil

And we each had a salad with mixed greens, grape tamaters and Goddess dressing

Now we’re sitting here complaining that nothing is on TV and he’s trying to convince me to “bundle up” (it’s FREEZING outside) and putt putt golf with him.. we shall see :)

Well I’m out like sauerkraut ;)

See ya when I’m 25 :D

xoxo,

Gina

Something to do: Take a second to be thankful for those who risk their lives to protect us <3 To all of my fellow military families out there, I am so thankful to each and every one of your service members for their selflessness and have so much respect and gratitude to all of you for sharing them with the rest of us. I know how the worry, loneliness, stress and the craziness that comes with watching the ones we love do courageous and dangerous things so that we can be safe and enjoy the many freedoms we’re entitled to.

Gina, thanks for your shout-out to our military servicemen and women. My husband (Navy Pilot!) is deployed for the first time since we got married and being reminded of how much our guys (and gals!) overseas give up makes me unspeakably proud and gives me a lot of strength! I have certainly had a few little proud-yet-sad cry-fests today! Have an wonderful birthday, you certainly deserve it!

From one military wife (and November bithday girl) to another, Happy Veteran’s day AND birthday, to you.
I’ve never commented here before, but I really enjoy reading your blog. You seem like a really fun person.
Have a happy birthday tomorrow. 25 is a great age. I turn 33 (gasp!) next week and it’s safe to say that I wish I were 25 again.

Yay! Happy almost birthday! Such a cute post.

Man metabolism astounds me every day too. If I don’t go to the gym for a month, I gain 5 pounds. If my boyfriend doesn’t go to the gym for a month, he LOSES 20 pounds! How this works is beyond me :)

Hope you have fun celebrating!!!

What a great post – you have great style! Love all your eats – I adore cupcakes and frosting even more…it’s crazy – I just scoop frosting out of the tub…I’ll also put frosting on anything – like the most boring bran muffin – just to ‘dip’ something in the frosting. It’s ridiculous!!

I love your pizza – I made a home-made one tonight too and ate the whole pie myself!! I then felt ‘bad’ about it, especailly since it was thicker crust and it seems like everyone is all about low-carb or veggies, etc. But I shouldn’t be like that. Thanks for helping me without even knowing it chick!!

And tell the pilot THANK YOU for all he does for this country. Really, it’s incredible to me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (well slightly early)! It sounds like you are having a wonderful day and you deserve it! Your hubby is such a cutie and my dad is a pilot so those flight suit pics by planes always tug on my heart strings :-)

May you have the happiest of all birthdays!

Also, thank you for the special message for Veteran’s Day :) . My husband is also an AF pilot, and though I appreciated the sacrifice of service members and their loved ones before I met him, I definitely have a greater and more profound understanding of it now. I am so proud of them all!

i remember everyday all those that have given their lives and those that continue to protect and serve our countries (i’m from canada)…my heart breaks for all of you that have to deal with the sadness that comes with sending your loved ones out there for our freedom…you are all remarkable and wondrous souls…and i thank your hubby from the bottom of my heart…

I read this article –

maybe the minigolf proposal is a little more edgy than you think?

Happy Birthday Gina!

What is the recipe for that pizza crust? It sounds delicious!

Reply

Fitnessista November 12, 2009 at 9:42 am

it’s 1.5 cups water, 1 T of yeast dissolved in the water, the add 1 T extra virgin olive oil and salt to the mix. then i put the liquid into the mixer with the dough hook attachment with 3.5 cups of flour (i used all of the brown rice flour and spelt flour i had left to get 3.5 cups), let it rise for 1 hr. then add your spices :D
bake at 425 for 15 minutes

Erica November 12, 2009 at 7:27 am
