Heyyyyy 
How are ya? Hope your day has been bueno.
I have been a packing MACHINE today! It’s hard to consolidate when you have a lot of stuff, but I promised myself that I’d only bring the essentials. There’s no reason to junk up my aunt’s house with all of my stuff 
The essential cookbooks:
105degree kitchen manual with all the recipes, Delicious Disney (love this one for entertaining), SBITK, ED&BV, Raw food, Fast food, Everyday Raw Desserts, Ani’s Raw Food Essentials, Babycakes and Living Raw Food
I’ll have access to AMAZING ingredients so some hardcore cooking and uncooking will be going down this fall 
The juicer and stand mixer:
+ the dehydrator
(The Vita is coming with me when I go down to Orlando in a few weeks- I can’t live without it for that long)
Clothes + my weekend stuff in the Core bag
A stuffed brown suitcase (with all of my ‘”hang up” clothes + shoes)
Crrraaazzyy.
Snackage:
half an organic peach leftover from yesterday and melon
Lonchi:
Leftover brown rice and chickpea burger I found in the freezer, atop a salad
Smoothie:
-Orange juice + strawberry juice
-Banana
-Ice
-SUN WARRIOR
It came today!
Hello, lover.
I ordered some when we ran the Sun Warrior promo last week and life has been so much better since the protein drought is over.
It just makes me walk around with a big goofy smile on my face
Haha.
The meeting with the boss man went well today. I’m very fortunate that the Pilot has a commander that really cares about his guys and where they end up. He gave us about three/four potential places we will be PCSing to- and they all meet the Gina standards of Whole Foods, nice mall and a yoga studio. I’m really excited
No time for a workout today but maybe I’ll participate when I teach bootcamp right now Usually I just yell and watch ‘em sweat.
Off to teach, coming home to get the Pilot and Bella, and then hitting the road!
See ya tomorrow <3
xoxo,
Gina
Upcoming:
-Boot camp workout
-Fashion Friday!

That juicer is just massive! Someday I won’t have a teensy apartment kitchen. I’m pretty sure a KitchenAid would take up the whole counter.
Just tried Sun Warrior for the first time yesterday, yum!
I ususally like to watch em’ sweat too…and they seem to slack off when I participate and don’t watch!
Glad to hear that they areas met your standards!!
Oye, when we move..I gotta WHOLE lotta books to lug around…yikes!!!
Sorry but DUH you’re bringing the Vita!! I mean, you brought it on vacation with you
No way would anyone expect you to go to Orlando without it! That thing is precious.
hahaha. i didn’t want someone to be like “why aren’t you bringing the vita mix??”
it’s because i sleep with it every night.. obviously. haha
Since you mentioned “nice mall and yoga studio” I doubt you’re coming to Pittsburgh.
I hate trying to pack, I feel like I am not ever brining enough. good luck!
“Whole Foods, nice mall and yoga studio”. Nice list!
Mine is similiar: “Target, Trader Joes, nice library”
I think even though it’s rough packing up your life and everything you know, that it is pretty exciting to move from place to place and see more of the world!
How do you like your Jack lelaine juicer? I am in the market for one and heard it’s pretty good.
I got the Jack Lalaine juicer a couple months ago and LOVE it so far!!!
yes, i actually LOVE the moving aspect of the military! the deployments? notsomuch
i’m a huge fan of the jack lalane juicer! it works great
Yesterday at Costco I saw a Vita-Mix demonstration and now I understand. I neeeeed one.
Safe safe safe travels…my sister in law is married to a man in the Coast Guard. It can be an adventurous, challenging and overwhelming life! Wishing you and the pilot the best, new location!
Are you able to mention the potential places? I’m curious!
sure but of course being the military, it could change at any second: vegas, kansas city or tucson
If you come to KC I will be stoked out of my mind! Plus you would lurve the Plaza!
whoo hoo! a friend in kc
i think it would be awesome to live there… we shall see
Glad they are putting you somewhere civilized! THose are my top categories as well:)Plus a Farmers Market.
Oh me oh my I’m sooooo excited to hear where you’re headed! Did you ever give spacebags a try?
no but i’m going to pick up some this weekend!
I have that same juicer! I was caught hook, line and sinker by the Jack Lalanne infomercial!
I just wish it was self-cleaning! Good luck with your move!
I hate packing/moving!
Looks like you are quite organized though…way to go!
My SunWarrior came from OpenSky today too! I hugged the bag and my fiance rolled his eyes. Hah!
haha! i might have kissed my bag
I’m glad to hear that you have wonderful options!!!! I can’t wait to find out where your new home will be
You have a ton of awesome cookbooks! Good luck packing!
Have a safe trip:):):)
girl, you made away better than i would have! i can’t just not take everything i own practically everywhere i go!
hello, i had a question about the sunwarrior it dosent say its organic and i know there is a product called boku that is organic and just wondered if you had tried it? i know that rice is heavily sprayed with pesticides thats why i am asking. thanks for any information!!
I have Boku & I personally love it. It’s all natural, only a few ingredients, 126 calories per scoop & 24g protein. Definitely worth the $50.
i’ll look into it, thanks!!
Have a safe trip! Very cute Sun Warrior Pic — you are so pretty!!
I think you should move to San Diego so I can try one of your famous macaroons! We have yoga, Whole Foods and nice malls here.
san diego would be AMAZEBALLS
You are packed, sister! Enjoy your trip.
That is a super cute skirt
! Did you tweet a hint about your future home? If, so I am excited for youuuu!
Glad the meeting went well today, can’t wait to hear where it’ll be!
Still haven’t tried SW, need to get on that ASAP!!
Glad the meeting went well. I hope you and the Pilot are very happy wherever you end up! Also, love the essentials you are taking with you! Excited for the bootcamp workout, I’ve loved theones you’ve posted so far.
uhm, a Disney cookbook!?

love your stash! i have many of those same cookbooks. the vita i would for sure bring. juicer, I am keepin’ it real…I would totally bring my coffee maker over my juicer for me..b/c I am a lazy butt and dont juice much anymore! LOL. Love your choices and if you find your way in So Cal, by all means, bring that cookbook stash and juicer over here and we can go to town.
Nah, let’s just go shopping and to yoga
Can’t wait to hear your news!

bella is coming with me, viesa may be staying in valdosta with a family that would potentially adopt her as a trial period. this way, i’ll be just down the road if they need anything and so i can still see her.
Hi! I just found your website last week & have enjoyed reading through the archives. I was worried about Viesa!
So glad to know that she’ll have a loving home while you’re away.
Got my sun warrior too.. I def stocked up this time. Check out my new blog and add me to your roll! [ please?
] Good luck with the move chica

I would love to have that juicer. My counter space is so limited that I can’t possibly get one. But one day!
i have the same mixer/color haha. i am trying to talk the husband into getting a vita-my kitchen aid canister is leaking
Excellent news about the PCS possibilities! Good luck with the haul today

i like the look of the sun warrior protein bags too, its pretty fun huh!
yay for health and recipe books!! i only have the skinny bitch one out of that collection, but i want the babycakes baking book!!
XOXO
Those would be my standards too, Whole foods is for sure number one! I love how you brought your cookbooks and cooking gadgets. I was upset that I had to leave my panini press and crockpot behind when I left for school. They will be getting a lot of love when i’m home this weekend
That guy on the cover of Raw Food, Fast Food looks kind of like Dr. McSteamy!
that’s philip mccluskey- and yes, he’s a good looking guy
