Happy Meal
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
xoxo

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??? 🙂

i Love crepes! i would have licked the plate tho hahah
I am currently obsessed with the zumba song ‘Turbina’ off the latest ZIN cd. Great for abs! Have fun Gina! 🙂
what track is it? it’s in my car cd player right now 🙂
Wow, the Italy picture and the dancer crescent picture are STUNNING!
thanks jen! 😀 so happy it was posted!
That “Something to think about” was just what I needed to hear right now. Thanks girlie 🙂
Glad you found the egg whites! 🙂
p.s. i cried watching the wedding too… cheezzzze ball! But her dress was ah-mazing
Sandy’s pose is breathtaking! Monica is a doll and I’ve been to her site, same as Nicole. The only lady I don’t “know” is the first one…it’s so cool to see everyone on here. Not sure why I keep forgetting to send you a pic…I just dont have any good shots that aren’t self portraits I guess. Hubs cannot be trusted to use my DSLR…haha.
Glad you got your shiraz and amazing choc crepes on. YUM!
Thank you!! I love your blog and am a huge fan 😀
I ate at Blue Willow when I visited Tucson in 2007. So fun! I miss Tucson SO much…..sigh
I love the fit photos — Monica’s arms are killer!!! Love that.
Breakfast at dinner sounds amazing to me, but that Greek salad doesn’t look to shabby either 🙂 Have a nice weekend Gina!
I love the quote o your tea bag.. it really makes you think and reflect on your life – truly loving all that we have.. and have had!
Egg whites in cartons are the best invention ever…seriously! Just shake and pour…none of this separating whites from yolks business. I only eat egg whites, so I definitely know what you mean 🙂
thanks for including me! 🙂
I live by my egg white cartons! And the crepes, yum. Love the tea quote!

I went out last night, too! Unfortunately no desserts were involved, haha. I’m trying to remember the song I heard yesterday that I said, “This would make a GREAT Zumba song,” but I can’t… 🙁 Hopefully I remember later!
I love egg whites in the carton! I was stressed about all the yolks I was wasting. There another brand i get at my Whole Paycheck that makes them cage-free.
I am going to agree with some of the ladies by saying that Sandy’s pose is so beautiful! I definitely wish that I could do that!!
But as for some Zumba songs, I really like “Zumba He Zumba Ha” – I don’t know if it is an official Zumba brand song, but it is so fun to dance to. I also really like “Pegate”
Congratulations on getting to teach again!
Have you heard the newer song “super bass” by Nicki Minaj?
I love it!
Have a great day Gina! 🙂
Mas Que Nada by The Black Eyed Peas!
I love the fit poses. Believe it or not I had a salad like that on campus here. Never would have imagined what good food they have. I was at a two day conference. The pole lite fitness here now has zumba & belly dancing; you may have to check it out when you’re in town if you have time.
Sandy’s fit pic is AMAZING! Love it!
Hope your weekend is great! xoxo <3
Aw Katie thank u so much! <3 ur blog btw!
AHH is that yogi tea?! They always put little inspirational quotes on their tea tags and I love it <3 It makes my day!
I love the dancer picture… I am slowly learning to dance and I hope to one day be able to do that (:
Love the fit pictures this week! So jealous of Nicole’s trip to Italy. I would love walking around there all day. 😀
I’m obsessed with the newest J.Lo songs..On the Floor and Papi. Awesome beats.
check out some of Randy Jackson’s America’s Best Dance Crew remixes to songs. they’ve got great segments
For Zumba music, Boom Boom Mama (by Da Family), Danza Kuduro (Don Omar), Rabiosa (Shakira), Pegaté (ZIN 31), and Calabria (Enur) are some of my class’s favorites!
This makes me so excited for the Farmers Market that kicks off in Des Moines next week–they have banana and nutella crepes and they’re so good! Yum!
I love the tea bag. It’s so important to appreciate where you came from and what it took to get you to where you are today. I forget to do this so thank you for the little reminder.
I got the same Yogi Tea Fortune the other day! I love it!
i adore the yogi tea fortunes! they always make me feel so good about starting the day 🙂
Mmmmm…those crepes look fabulous! I love crepes, especially sweet ones!
I lovee crepes its been forever since ive had them but omg I would have licked the plate!
Love all the pics! wow one day I hope to do the Sandy Jump and go to Italy like Nicole.:)
My arms only look that way when I lift, people are always shocked when I flex or wear tank tops that show my arms because otherwise I don’t look that way at all say in a long sleeve, hehe. 🙂
Those crepes take the cake! I would want that over anything!
Welcome to the egg white container world!:)
Love this blog. Interesting to see everyone’s pics.

What tea puts little quotes on on their tea bags?! Those would make my day – I need to purchase them!
I LOVE the song “Waka Waka” by Shakira (the spanish version is the best!) It is an amazing song, but I can’t help but think of Fozzie Bear when I hear the title. Does that mean I’m old now?
