Hi friends! How was your Friday?? I’m a little late posting tonight, because it was one of the very few times in my life when I wasn’t sure what to write about.

Of course I cried watching the Royal Wedding (as expected- so beautiful), went to work for a half day and ate some very usual things.

Something exciting?

Boxed organic egg whites – I’m so glad you guys told me about these! I’m no longer a yolk waster

The good news is that I got out of my standard-ness, to go out to dinner with some friends <3

We munched at Blue Willow, which is one of my Tucson favorites- TONS of vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus they serve b-fast all day. Anywhere that serves b-fast all day is a friend of mine

I had a lovely glass of Shiraz:

and instead of doing the b-fast thing, I got the standard: Greek salad with goat cheese instead of feta + blackened salmon

I was having a MAD hankering for blackened salmon, and this was everything I wished for.

And then the table shared these beauties:

chocolate crepes with strawberries.

A happy meal indeed

Well I’m heading home to make my meals and pack up for work tomorrow.

Have a great night! <3

Show Me Your Fit:

Lauren: Here is a picture of me after a killer Turbo Fire workout!

Nicole: Hi Gina! I just got back from Italy and wanted to share this "show my your fit" pic! I stayed fit Italy by walking everywhere, indulging in everything, and doing an occasional yoga pose!

Monica: I do so many different sports and routines to stay fit what can I say, I am like you! I bike almost everyday living in Sunny Santa Monica but I also come from a snowboard and skateboard background. I think that is the secret… to keep on changing things up! EVERYTHING should be fun not dreadful. I love how strong I feel after biking, or extreme sports, or a blissful yoga session, and strength training-I just feel alive! I Love my job as a trainer to encourage as many people as I can to feel and look their best.

Keri: Since I post a zillion running pictures on my blog, I thought I would show you something different. This is from a hike with a friend. She is a stunt woman and she tried to get me to climb up the tree. It didn’t happen but I tried!

Sandy: This jump is called a "crescent", I dance ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop and many others forms!

Something to think:

Something to talk about: I start teaching Zumba again in a week! Any fun new song ideas???

Happy Eater

Morning friends <3 Hope your day is going well so far!

Since it’s Easter Sunday, I have to post my favorite Easter pic of Vies:

Yesterday ended up being pretty chill. We went swimming, I munched a couple of random snacks:

(veg with nutritional yeast and pineapple protein ice cream. I haven’t had pineapple since last summer… it tasted like tropical candy)

and then I got ready to go to a friend’s house for taco and Brad Pitt night.

Gifts for the hostess:

When I got there, I was so excited to meet the new member of their family: a baby Great Dane!

She doesn’t have a name yet, but Luna is looking favorable She was such a sweetie, and even at 6 weeks old, weighs more than Bella. She’s going to be a very big dog

The taco spread was glorious:

(Spinach, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, green onion, sour cream, cheese, salsa)

and tasted like my childhood. They were fried, the way my madre makes them, and so soooo delicious. I wasn’t originally planning on having tacos when I came over –figured I’d make myself a veggie taco or a salad- but they were made of turkey instead of beef, so I decided to roll with it. So. Insanely. Good.

After tacos, the Brad Pitt movie of choice was Snatch. I couldn’t understand a SINGLE WORD. Many unique and strong accents, combined with what was already not a Gina type of movie = snooze sesh on the couch with the puppy. I crashed out after about 20 minutes into the movie- party animal

This morning, we’re off to a legendary brunch at my nana’s.

Be back later with a re-cap

Have a very happy Sunday, and Happy Easter to those of you who are celebrating today <3 Thank you for being one of the many blessings in my life.

xoxo

Cheesecake FTW

April 16, 2011

Hiiiii Happy Saturday! How has your day been? We started ours off by packing the Pilot’s stuff (mayjah sad face), and taking Bell for a little walk. The good news is that my roomies got back a few nights ago. They’ve been doing disaster relief overseas, and I missed their faces. B-fast was simple: Brown [...]

Spring has un-sprung

April 9, 2011

Hi friends! Happy Saturday! We slept until 10 this morning and I don’t even know who I am right now I always joke with the Pilot by saying he makes me lazy, because when he’s home I feel so comfy and content. When I finally rolled over and open my eyes, I looked at him [...]

Hey friends hey How’s your day going? Hope it’s been lovely. Last night, we went to see Wicked again. A Friday night ritual, perhaps? We had amazing seats, but sadly this was my view for most of it: Being very tall is a blessing I wasn’t bestowed with, but every angle of hair was teased [...]
