Happy humpday and leap year! I feel like we should make a wish on leap year- it just seems like a lucky day
Some ordinary lucky oats:
a fancy salad that I whipped up:
(Oh Joe the Trader, I appreciate you so much)
and a new-to-me lunch wrap combo.
I was in the mood for sweet and savory, so I combined some turkey, Dijon mustard, a sliced apple and greens, and wrapped it up in a brown rice tortilla
+ tea and the sad remnants of the carrot bag.
Crunchy, sweet, savory, filling. Boom.
Off to take Bell to the groomer’s- she needs it!
Have a great day <3

Something to do: After yesterday’s Tabata class, this is a little daunting to me:
Today, the Pilot took a day of leave –he has a ton, and you use it or ya lose it- so we’ve been taking it easy this morning.
Drank some tea
made some omelets
with 2 eggs, greens, turkey, and the star of the show was kalamata olive goat cheese:
one of a few Trader Joe’s impulse buys- it’s almost as bad as Target. TJs has an amazing talent for taking the things I love and making them even better, especially with their goat cheese varieties. Also picked up some falafel chips (corn and garbanzo chips- they’re beautifully spiced, too) and powerberry trail mix. Somehow, the powerberries are missing from the mix
Since the Pilot is home, today feels more like Sunday, so we’re going to spend it getting things done around the casa and running a couple of errands.
Hope you have a wonderful Monday <3
xoxo,
Gina
Something to do: How about a Valentine’s Day Booty Blast? Sweat is the body crying tears of joy
Complete this workout by itself for a lovely booty burn, or combine it with your favorite cardio routine (how about the February Schweaty Workout?) or on legs day. As always, check with a doc before making any fitness changes and honor your body and personal workout needs.
I woke up this morning so excited to see…. SNOW! From a distance, that is (I enjoy snow the most this way) One bonus point for chilly weather: when I take Bella out, she does her business wicked fast. I should put a jacket on her, but she’s like a little white furry lightning bolt- [...]
Someone hasn’t been able to start her day. She’s laying on the couch until she feels like fully waking up The Pilot and I slept in a little –he flew late again last night so I’ll stay up until he’s on the ground safe, and then hang out when he gets home- and then hit [...]
Good morning! Hope your day is off to a great start <3 Do quite a few of ya have the day off work today? The Pilot does, and I love having him around for an extra day. I’ve been having a rough time getting in morning workouts lately –which is when I have the most [...]
Hi friends How was your Indian Food Wednesday? Did anyone celebrate? I find it very appropriate that today’s Tucson Groupon is for Indian food. We might have to hit that up…. I just got home from a full day of teaching/assisting at work, and snuggled up with the pup and a bowl of popcorn. [Snowmen [...]
Hi friends How was your Friday? Hope you had a wonderful day. After my doc appointment this morning, I stopped at Whole Paycheck to get supplies for tomorrow night and to my shock and amazement, we have a FULL UP hot bar now! It was a very exciting moment. Before, all we had was a [...]
Hiiii How are you? Late night blogging tonight! It was the kind of night where I just needed to take a minute to let my brain defrost, and cozy up on the couch with some chips and dip (aka hummus and raw sweet potato chips) [+ a creeper smile and a begging maltipoo] Today was [...]
