We had a lovely brunch at Eclectic Cafe:

Lox, eggs, potatoes, OJ

lox

and fruit

fruit and yogurt

for me,

the Pilot had granola, yogurt, eggs and French toast.

Nana and Tata met us for coffee while we ate- it was a perfect Sunday morning.

We’re just chilling around the house for now and some friends are visiting tonight.

Hope you’re having a great weekend <3

Winter Shape Up week 2 will be up tomorrow!

You look so great, Gina! I’m borderline obsessed with pics of the new little peanut! The brunch looks heavenly and OUTSIDE!??? Its been around 5 degrees here in Minnesota lately. The idea of outdoor dining is just a distant memory at this point. Sigh.

Hey Gina, I had a question about the Week 1 workout. I feel lame for not visualizing them well in my mind, but I’m having a hard time figuring out the lunges/bicep curl/high knee move. Do I do the full lunge before coming up with a high knee and then the bicep curl (all in one big move) or do I do the weighted lunges separately before ending with standing high knee and bicep curls?

Hope you’re feeling better! I’m sure it feels great to get out and about again.

Morgan January 22, 2012 at 5:26 pm

I took it as do them seperatetly…do the lunges first…then the high knee/bicep curls together.

This does not look like bed rest!!! I hope you got right back on the couch as soon as you got home. .. *stern look*.

Sara January 22, 2012 at 4:06 pm

Is couch the right word? Or do we say ‘sofa’, where you live? I mean the soft thing that lives in your lounge/living room. :D

Fitnessista January 22, 2012 at 4:08 pm

I’m on the couch right now :)

Sara January 23, 2012 at 4:23 am

Good girl, I wouldn’t like to have to turn all ‘Personal Trainer’ on you. I am a complete bossy boots when it comes to rest and recovery. If you do it right, you only have to do it once. :D

Sana January 22, 2012 at 4:06 pm

Hahaah, the Pilot looks so confused ;)

Reply

Fitnessista January 22, 2012 at 4:17 pm

It’s because he ordered something healthy ;)

Lisa January 22, 2012 at 8:35 pm

That’s what I was thinking that breakfast would normally be steak,eggs & biscuit! Gina you look great. Love seeing baby pics! She’s so sweet.

Sounds like a great brunch! Mama and Livi are looking pretty and bright, and the Pilot’s expression cracks me up. Have a fun day!

Glad you guys got out, went out to eat, enjoyed some nice food and sunshine…after having a baby, it truly is the simple things in life that you used to take for a granted a little that all of a sudden you have newfound appreciation for..well, at least I did :)

Have a great week, Gina!

Why does the pilot look so upset about his breakfast, the yogurt, granola, and fruit look delicious ! :)

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin January 22, 2012 at 6:26 pm

It must have been so nice to get out of the house! Especially when it involved such a delicious brunch. :D I love how the lox is scrambled into the eggs. I need to try that!

It’s funny cause your meal is typically a “guy” meal , while the pilot’s meal is more typically a “girl” meal :)

It’s amazing what fresh air can do! I’m glad you got to venture out, you deserve some fun in the (milder “winter”) Sun!

Ironically, I lived within walking distance of that area and never once ate at Eclectic. I tried Renee’s and ate at Frank’s (1.99 for breakfast was too good to pass up before class), I think they’re all related somehow…..

It’s all a big Tucson mystery…..
