Hey guys! Happy humpday 
Hope your morning is treating ya well.
Last night’s gluten-free pizza was a success:
I topped the crust that I had made earlier in the day with organic marinara, goat cheddar, artichokes, portobella mushrooms, oregano, red chili flakes and fresh basil.
After I cut our slices (the entire pizza was 2.5 servings of dough, so I got a little less that half and the pilot had the rest), I topped the pilot’s pizza with organic roasted chicken.
And mine with more red chili flakes.
I will never go this long without pizza, ever again.
We both had some salads with dressing- Goddess for me and “Manly Roman God” for the pilot 
Bahah
Then we put Inglourious Basterds into the Blue-Ray. I wasn’t sure if I’d be a fan or not as I haven’t seen any Tarantino films (!) but I loved it. I thought it was definitely gory and disturbing at parts, but all in all, an interesting idea and very well done. I also love 1940s fashions, so that was fun too 
This morning I met the girls at the gym for a weights sesh and munched a bowl of frozen organic berries that I had set to thaw in the fridge overnight.
Raspberries, blueberries and black cherries. Perfection.
We did a killer core workout and then I came back to the casa to make bfast.
Raw Protein Chia Oats with:
-1/3 C oat groats, soaked overnight
-1 banana (1/2 processed with the oats in the food processor and 1/2 sliced on top)
-1/2 scoop Vanilla Sun Warrior
-fresh almond milk
-chia seeds
-mesquite and cinnamon
-blob of almond butter
-foodgasms
It doesn’t look that pretty, but it tasted pretty
I’m off to work on some guest posts for other websites then to a training appointment.
For some humpday fun, check out this cute video that a bloggy sent me- a male version of Viesa is in it!!!
The Shiba Inu is at 0:25, 0:36 and 0:47.
She could totally jump for treats like that
See ya this afternoon <3

Today’s tip: Have trouble getting in your 8 glasses of water?? Carry a bottle around with you ALL day (it’s hard to skimp when you don’t have an excuse!) and try flavoring it with cucumber slices, lemon juice or fresh berries.
Zumbies: I have to cancel Zumba again tonight 
The ol’ knee feels much better after the half, but still isn’t 100% and I don’t think hopping and dancing around would make it feel any better. We’ll definitely have class next week with new dances! I’m sorry

great water tip! ive been trying to take my running water bottle with me everywhere. if you have it with you, you’ll def drink it! ok, where’s my margarita camelback??
I saw Inglorious Basterds at a Drive-In with the hubby and loved it! As a side non-health related question: How do you like having a blu-ray player? Is the difference really that noticeable from regular DVD? Rent some more Tarantino movies, they never disappoint!
i like having it for the extra stuff- like netflix, youtube, blockbuster and pandora are all on the blue ray, which is awesome. the picture quality is definitely noticeable, too
I knew you’d love the fashions in that movie
Even at the goriest parts, I was fascinated by some of the clothes. I LOVED it!
Oh, and p.s. Adam liked the cauliflower “sushi” that I made last night… but he wanted a veggie corn dog instead
yeah, you were totally right.
oh, adam. he’ll learn, haha
LOVELY looking pizza! SCRUM!
I never saw Inglorious Basterds, but wanted to! There were so many movies out around that time. The Mister and I will have the Netflix it, for sure!
that’s totally what i do with my water too! just having a splash of flavor makes drinking it so much easier
yummy pizza!
my jackson does jump like that for treats…and he loves it (jumping that is and of course he loves the treats)…i actually throw his kibble around for him too…pretty much the only way he’ll eat…
It took me a good 2 times to watch Inglorious Basterds and love it, but I do, too!
Ooh, I’d like to see that movie! Glad you loved it!
I wanted to tell you that I used that Yoga DVD last night and I loved it! I wasn’t feeling well enough to run so Yoga at home was a perfect option! Thanks for the recommendation!
which one, the shiva rea one or a different one??
The Shiva Rea one – that Fire segment is awesome! It was tough at first because I felt like I had to keep an eye on the TV but I think it’ll get better once I get used to the flow.
awesome! i loved the fire one too.. the lunar meditation was awesome the other night too- so calming
Off to fill my water bottle now! I have some wilting rosemary that should do the trick!!
ohhh that sounds delicious!
I loved that movie, too! (I was scared because Quentin’s movies can get gory!!) But I thought it was perfect.
Your pizza looks great! Makes me want pizza for breakfast right now!!
you know, i haven’t ever seen a tarantino movie until Inglourious Basterds…and I really liked it too! at first i was kinda shocked at the gore and stuff, but it was an interesting film to say the least
I would LOVE to have that pizza (except i haven’t gone long without it…just a couple days
)
That pizza looks marvelous! Where did you get the GF crust?
whole foods. no idea what the brand was (should have taken a pic!) but it was GOOD
Was just going to ask you the same question. If you get it again, please do share with us the brand. This girl needs pizza in her life again. (It’s been at least 5 years!!!) Xo
We love homemade pizza here and I have really fallen in love with gluten free crust! We are working on how many toppings we can do lately! Yours sounds yummy!
I didn’t see Inglorious Basterds. Don’t forget Robert Pattinson’s new movie “Remember Me” comes out friday. Will you still like him being less than a vampire?!
YES! i will always love him
and i can’t wait to see his new movie!
I thought you would. I will be watching Pierce Brosnan, since I’m older!
hahah i’ll be watching him too.. he’s a beefcake
Good morning! I just tried one of your infamous breakfast cookies and wow!! Sooo good! I used oats, protein powder, Kraft natural peanut butter, 1/2 mashed banana, sprinkled with cinnamon and honey. Delicious! I’m happy I found a way to eat oats in the morning. Im really not a fan of oatmeal but thought I should choke it down anyways but this is so great thank you!
PS- Love the salad dressing choices for you and pilot haha!!
yes! i’m so glad you liked it! i could eat one every day
bahaha… i can’t call his goddess dressing
I pretty much do! Hope you’re not getting sick of my linkbacks
yeah~ I like inglorious bastard a lot too, Brad Pitt is so cool!!!
oh.. pizza! I want that too…. yes, no pizza, no happy!
have a nice day sweetie!
I find carrying my massive water bottle everywhere helps me get my daily H2O in as well. That pizza looks amazing – especially the toppings, yum!
That pizza indeed looks glorious and exactly how i like mine- piled with veggies and CHILLI FLAKES!
Yummmm…might have to have pizza for lunch today!
You might have answered this before, but for overnight oats do you actually cook them at all or just add water and let them soak up all the water + additions in the fridge overnight?
i just soak them in water and add all the other good stuff in the morning
Holy yum. That pizza looks awesome. It’s not really practical right now (curse you winter!) but my favorite is watermelon in water. So subtle but awesome nonetheless.
That pizza just made me drool on my desk a little bit:) haha
We’ve been going back and forth on whether to pick up Inglorious Bastards or not. Maybe We’ll watch it this weekend!
I still need to watch that movie!
Pizza does look glorious! A number of my friends have celiac and we experiment all the time with gluten free products and such. It’s fabulous to see such a tremendous amount of options available.
That pizza looks so good. I am going to have to make one soon!
Pizza is probably my favorite food ever. Yours looks great! I love veggies on my pizza.
I have got to try a gluten-free pizza dough! I did make my own gluten-free bread and luuurrved it.
That pizza looks so drool-worthy! Yum.
.
I thought of you this morning as I tried a Shiva Rea yoga session on FitTv for the first time. Loved it. She’s going on my DVR for some variety!
P.S. I love that commercial — after enough times seeing it and pics of your Viesa, I’m pretty convinced one of my monsters is part Shiba Inu. So adorable
I’m gluten free…and that pizza looks Amazing!!! Also, I recently saw Inglorious Basterds and totally loved it!
I’ve heard such great reviews of that movie that I think I’m going to have to check it out. I love me some Brad Pitt! G$ that pizza looks insane!! Nicely done!
Do you remember the brand of GF pizza crust you used? I’m always looking for new GF alternatives! That pizza looks yum-O – especially with the artichokes (one of my favorite foods)!
Yeeaaahhh I definitely am bad at remembering to bring my water bottle with me! I fill it up and chill it and then always forget it on the counter. Bad! And mmmmm your pizza…love artichokes on pizza
Ooooh I have to try that crust. Any tips on making a pizza with lots of veggies that doesn’t come out soggy???
bake the crust first, then add the veggies and just put in the oven to heat up the veg and cheese
That video is fantastic. I’m sending it on to other I know who will appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.
Yum Yum Yum! Need to find a good gluten-free pizza mix. We actually have a pizza chain here in Portland that offers gluten-free crusts that you can buy for $3 and make pizzas with them. I would make them from scratch, but all the recipes I see are super gooey looking. Have a great day!!!
Great movie…I agree, the fashion was my fav part! I also think the acting was pretty fab! I really want to start making my own crusts and bread products. I signed up for an artisan breadbaking class next week and I’m super excited to learn! The class is taught by a well-known Seattle baker!
That pizza looks delicious! Yum
yummy pizza! i hope your knee feels better!
thanks girl, me too!
I could not get through that movie-too crazy for me….
Love the pizza-yum on the “chokes”
have a good day…..
Love that pizza! Ever think of doing a breakfast pizza cookie? Like savory?
xoxo

Nom, pizza! It’s one of the things I’ve missed most since going vegan. I’ve gotta get on finding a vegan recipe!
Seriously, one should never go too long w/o pizza! I go into withdrawals after a week or two.
Glad you liked the Basterds! I did too, and I’m not even much of a Tarantino fan. I thought it was a totally cool movie. Christoph Waltz (sp?) gave me chills. 
Wow that pizza looks so good AND healthy! And I’m very impressed with how healthy the pilot eats…I wish my bf was the same. I suppose he might be if I cooked more!
http://www.firednfabulous.blogspot.com/
my pilot only eats healthy when i feed him.. otherwise, all bets are off
Bahahaha! Gina, instead of reading “organic marinara” I read “organic marihuana”…lol…too funny! No, I’m not a maryjane smoker…just come across it a lot in my job!! Have a great Wed-nes-day!
haha take your mind outta the gutter
Your pizza looks wonderful! I’ve pretty much cut it out of my diet, because every time I eat it I blow up like a balloon from the sodium in the sauce/cheese. Maybe it’s time I tackle pizza at home in my kitchen…I have a pizza stone! Hmmm! Have a great day
Pizza looks delicious, i like veggie pizzas over chicken ones tho!
Inglorious, i thought was good, interesting, gory. I wasn’t sure what to expect so thats why i say interesting haha
Red Pepper Flakes = We are soulmates….it’s official.
Now all we need to do is pick that marathon…..hmmmm…..
Oh, and find myself a pilot of my very own. Bwahaha.
That pizza looks amazing!!
xo

Hi Gina,
Love your blog. Do you find just fruit to be enough fuel for early morning gym visits? I usually have to have something more carb-y, like a Clif bar!
yeah, because i want my carbs and protein afterwards! i don’t do any cardio in the morning, just weights, so a little carbs to get me going (like fruit) is perfect
Love the dog video. My Bunkie can catch like a champ as well.
My BF has been begging me to watch Inglorious Bastards, I love Tarantino’s movies but this one I wasn’t so sure about… hmmm…
Red chili flakes are ALWAYS a must
That GF pizza and goddess-topped salad seriously look amazinggg!!!!!!
But now that Tucson’s weather is changing, i really need to start drinking more water!! Sware i’m always dehydrated…..no bueno.
tucson! le sigh. i miss my homeland
