Pizza Ninja

Hi guys ๐Ÿ™‚

Come hereโ€ฆ.

pizza

Can we just talk about this for a second??

pizza (2)

Last night was PIZZA NIGHT up in herrre ๐Ÿ™‚

Iโ€™ve had pizza on the brain ever since my cousin and I had Pizza Fusion (which closed down?!) and last night was the night.

Dance Trance didnโ€™t happen because there was a crazy accident on I-4, so instead, I went to a spin class. I havenโ€™t taken a spin class in forever (and havenโ€™t taught spin since last spring) so it was fun to remember how much I LOVE it. Class was awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

When I got home, I turned into a pizza-making ninja.

-The dough was fresh and pre-made from Publix. Since I knew I wouldnโ€™t have time to make it from scratch after work and working out, I decided to give it a whirl- Italian for the BBQ pizza and multigrain for the veggie pizza.

One pizza was flavored the Pilotโ€™s favorite way:

BBQ sauce, colby jack and rotisserie chicken โ€“ this one is awesome with cilantro on top, too

pizza (3) 

The veggie one was flavored my favorite way:

pizza (4)

Organic marinara, Daiya cheese, sautรฉed veggies (with EVOO, sea salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic and thyme) and fresh basil

veg

My cousins, auntie and I enjoyed our pizza feast with salads sprinkled with Garlic Gold (I squirted mustard on mine.. itโ€™s a new way Iโ€™m loving salad)

pizza (5)

I went to bed pretty early last night, with wet hair. It looks like jungle beast mane this morning ๐Ÿ˜‰ When I was little my mom used to tell me that Iโ€™d get sick if I went to bed with wet hair. Well I found out that my aunt (not the one Iโ€™m living with, another aunt) used to tell my cousins that theyโ€™d DIE if they went to bed with wet hair. Hahah!

This morning, Iโ€™m off to hot yoga and am really excited to interview the instructor for a work newsletter. During class, sheโ€™s going to call on participants to yell out what theyโ€™re thinking (โ€œPain!โ€ โ€œGet me outta here!โ€ โ€œF*@&*(&!โ€ etc) and Iโ€™m going to use it for the article ๐Ÿ™‚

Pre-yoga snackage:

banana

See ya later today with a foam rolling post! My cousin is going to be home early and said sheโ€™d be my videographer ๐Ÿ˜‰

xoxo,

Gina

    These are good tips โ€“ Iโ€™m hosting a pizza making party soon and need some cool flavor combinations. That hot yoga concept sound hilarious! Itโ€™s a good thing I wonโ€™t be in that class. It would turn seriously offensive fast with the amount of stuff Iโ€™d love to shout while Iโ€™m burning up and dying while twisting into a pretzel:)

  2. Jessica @ How Sweet on October 13, 2010 at 8:42 am

    My mom used to tell me the same thing! To this day I am still afraid to go to bed with my hair wet. There has to be a VERY great reason (like Iโ€™m exhausted) for me to do it.

  3. Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine on October 13, 2010 at 8:43 am

    I love using mustard as salad dressing!! I remember the first time I posted about it and so many people thought that was the weirdest thing everโ€ฆglad Iโ€™m in good company ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yup, my mom perpetuated the wet hair sickness for ever. Now I love it- means I donโ€™t have to shower in the morning and can sleep a little more!!

  4. Laury @ thefitnessdish on October 13, 2010 at 8:45 am

    Iโ€™m making pizza tonight! Spinach and Goat Cheese with Caramelized onion is my specialty (on multi-grain dough). Canโ€™t wait!!!

    The foam roller has been my lover since that thing was invented, Iโ€™ve found every which way to stretch, balance and strengthen on that thingโ€ฆ.a must have for all my clients! Look forward to your video.

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 8:46 am

      oh YUM!!!

  5. Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun on October 13, 2010 at 8:48 am

    I think spin to me is like Zumba to you. I canโ€™t go without it!! Iโ€™m still doing it regularly at 6.5 months pregnant too. Which some people think is crazy, but I think it feels great. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 8:51 am

      my aunt did that until she had her baby two weeks ago and she was in labor for 8 minutes!!! so hopefully that will help, right/?? ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Krystina on October 13, 2010 at 8:56 am

    Pizza Fusion closed down? Damn ๐Ÿ™ Iโ€™ve been wanting to try bbq sauce on pizza. I bet itโ€™s tasty.

  7. Holly @ couchpotatoathlete on October 13, 2010 at 8:57 am

    Sometimes when I go to bed with wet hair it looks really good in the morning: lots of volume and pretty smooth. But most of the time I look like Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Lisa on October 13, 2010 at 8:58 am

    That pizza looks phenomonal! I love homemade pizza. It def does NOT leave you feeling like crap after and bloated! Thats why its the best! =)

  9. Jenn @ LiveWellFitNow on October 13, 2010 at 9:04 am

    Pizza was on my mind last night. I have a list of about 10 recipes that I want to make but I might just have to up pizza to the top!!!

    I took spinning this am. AM IN LOVE! Getting certified to teach it in 2 weeks! Eek!!!!

  10. rachael on October 13, 2010 at 9:04 am

    Just looking at daiya pizza makes me happy:)

    That yoga class/article sounds really fun!

  11. Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman on October 13, 2010 at 9:55 am

    My mom always said that, too. I donโ€™t get it. But your auntโ€™s version is hilarious!!

    Oh, and I love foam rolling (unless Iโ€™m doing it, in which case I hate it). The pain is so worth it!

  12. Amanda (Eating Up) on October 13, 2010 at 9:55 am

    I just read something that said going to bed with wet hair wonโ€™t make you sick (and certainly wonโ€™t kill you). I was told not to do it all the time growing up!

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:56 am

      haha! why do moms tell us these things??

  13. Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat on October 13, 2010 at 9:58 am

    Sometimes I got to bed with wet hair but I always wake up with it all over the place in the morning. Guys have things so much easier! Iโ€™m normally a thin crust pizza sort of gal but I think Iโ€™d need a thicker crust if it was made of that Publix dough!

    Have a great day!

  14. Kirby on October 13, 2010 at 10:09 am

    Oh YUM! Definitely going to make that BBQ pizza! Love that itโ€™s rotisserie chickenโ€ฆso easy! My favorite pizza to make is with raw basil/arugula pesto on whole wheat dough with calamata olives, artichokes, roasted red peppers and feta or mozz. Always a crowd pleaser!

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:55 am

      that sounds RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING

  15. andrea on October 13, 2010 at 10:25 am

    I am drooling over the pizzas this morning. Itโ€™s been years since I have had one. Stupid food intolerances.

    Thanks for always making my morning reading pleasurable. I really do enjoy reading your blog.

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:55 am

      thank you!!!
      what are you intolerant to? thereโ€™s gotta be a way to make you a good pizza!

  16. Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather on October 13, 2010 at 10:28 am

    I am all about that pizza combos, we love bbq chicken in our house!

  17. Shanna @ Shanna LIke Banana on October 13, 2010 at 10:50 am

    Lucky Michelle!

    How long does the discount work for Cravory? So excited!

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:55 am

      iโ€™m not sure! maybe i should ask them.. haha

  18. Clare @ Fitting It All In on October 13, 2010 at 10:54 am

    Is this a Bikram class where you get to yell out those things? My classes are usually silentโ€ฆin fact it kinda weirds me out when the instructors are too chatty! Iโ€™ve heard all studios are different though. Iโ€™d love to try one in a different city!

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:54 am

      no, it was a power yoga class

  19. jenna on October 13, 2010 at 10:59 am

    that dough looks amazing!!!

    and youvโ€™e got to be kinding on the 8min. labor???!!

  20. Anj on October 13, 2010 at 11:03 am

    Oh no! Pizza Fusion closed?! I was hoping to try it when Iโ€™m in Orlando next month ๐Ÿ™ Ah well now Iโ€™ll have to find another pizza place to try. Your pizza looks amaaaaazzzinggggg!

  21. Sheena on October 13, 2010 at 11:20 am

    I didnโ€™t know Publix sells ready-made multigrain pizza dough! At which Publix did you find it?

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 11:54 am

      sand lake

  22. Mi-An Dela Cruz on October 13, 2010 at 11:42 am

    Canโ€™t wait to see your vid on foam rollerโ€ฆi have one and only do like 3 things on it. hahaha.

  23. Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) on October 13, 2010 at 12:14 pm

    I love making pizza at homeโ€ฆthe options are limitless. All those pizzas look delish!

  24. Veronica on October 13, 2010 at 12:21 pm

    In what section of Pubs did you find the dough??

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 12:31 pm

      in the bakery section by the bread, in a little fridge

  25. Emily on October 13, 2010 at 12:23 pm

    Your pizza looks awesome! Yum.

    I would definitely be the one swearing in yoga class. Glad to know that Iโ€™m not the only one. ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Lauren on October 13, 2010 at 12:31 pm

    I have had pizza on the brain too and now seeing this just makes me want it even more!

  27. Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) on October 13, 2010 at 12:32 pm

    Your pizzaโ€™s look so professional! I need to pick up a blob of dough next time I am at the store ๐Ÿ˜‰

  28. Stefanie on October 13, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    Yayy for the foam-rolling video later! I just made pizza last week, but after this post I want it again! Like now! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2010 at 12:38 pm

      pizza is always good ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. Mary @ Bites and Bliss on October 13, 2010 at 12:46 pm

    Ohh mee those pizzas look mighty delicious ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. Allison @ Food for Healing on October 13, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    DIE if you go to bed with wet hair?? haha yikes. I go to bed with wet hair almost everynight and i am still alive and well lol

  31. Liz @ Tip Top Shape on October 13, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    Ha, my mom told
    me Iโ€™d get sick if I went to bed with wet hair, too.

  32. Megan (Braise The Roof) on October 13, 2010 at 2:05 pm

    Haha, thatโ€™s too funny about your hair. My mom said told me that if I went outside with wet hair Iโ€™d get sick, but sheโ€™d French braid my hair wet before Iโ€™d go to bed so that Iโ€™d wake up with wavy hair the next dayโ€ฆahh, I miss those days. ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) on October 13, 2010 at 2:05 pm

    excited about the foam rolling post b/c I think im the only person whoโ€™s never rolled before!

    thatโ€™s sad about the accident on the highway,I hope the people are ok! And great job of just winginโ€™ it with the spin class!

    Being interviewed and possibly getting to shout out 4 letter words and keep it REALโ€ฆthatโ€™s my kind of interview ๐Ÿ™‚ LOL

    And wet hair and going to bed with itโ€ฆgirl, I got a brazilian blowout 2 weeks ago. For my hair, not to be confused with waxing that some people thought I was talking about. And itโ€™s not for everyone, yes, it was in the news, and to each her own but..seriously, my hair is 100% smooth. no frizz, no need to flat iron it, no work. Wash and go. I love it. It took 2 hrs and was about the price youโ€™d pay for highlights x2. WELL Worth it to me. Anyway sorry to ramble but if you want the deets, LMK!

    ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. Kate on October 13, 2010 at 2:17 pm

    Yumm! The veggie pizza looks awesome. Iโ€™ve heard a lot about the daiya cheese, I need to go in search of it!!

  35. fittingbackin on October 13, 2010 at 2:27 pm

    I could eat pizza every. single. day. Love the look of the BBQ one!

  36. Kristin on October 13, 2010 at 3:22 pm

    Looking forward to the foam roller post! I just got one and only know a few moves!

  37. VeggieGirl on October 13, 2010 at 3:24 pm

    I wanna come for pizza night! ๐Ÿ˜€

  38. Allie on October 13, 2010 at 4:08 pm

    Hi, I love your blog! =) Iโ€™m interested in trying Hot Yoga, but Iโ€™m a little nervous about going without much yoga experience (Iโ€™ve done P90x yoga..thatโ€™s about it). Is there a better way to ease into it or do you have to have more experience? Those pizzas look amazing!

    Alison

  39. Kristen on October 13, 2010 at 9:35 pm

    The veggie one loos really really yummy.

  40. Erika @ Food, Fitness, & Fun on October 14, 2010 at 5:34 pm

    Mmmmmmโ€ฆboth of those pizzas look amazing!!!!! I am hungry nowโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‰

  41. Julie (A Case of the Runs) on October 16, 2010 at 1:22 am

    OMG, my mom tells me the same thing about going to bed w/wet hair! I wonder whyโ€ฆ
