In my practice + a new Zumba video
What do ya know? I actually have some food pics for ya today. I was going do to a What I Ate Wednesday post, but got home from yoga too late, so hereโs a What I Ate Wednesday on a Thursday ๐
Breakfast:
2 eggs + brown rice tortilla (with sriracha that I took to work)
+ pieces of watermelon while making Livโs breakfast, an apple and coconut water to take with me
Along with mint protein fudge for one (2 scoops protein powder, 1 T coconut oil, 1 heaping T nut butter, maple syrup, peppermint extract and a little almond milk for it to come together), turkey loaf, romaine wrappers, beloved sriracha, and an avocado to smash onto the romaine leaves.
When I got home from work, I had some of this glorious nut butter weโve been enjoying, courtesy of Kath:
and Livi also ate a spoon covered with the nut butter when she saw me with my spoon ๐
We went to kick around a soccer ball at the park โ it was just be outside for a little while:
Then we came back home for Liviโs bedtime, and I went to yoga with Meg, Kyle and Ashley. Our favorite instructor was back from her honeymoon, and class was gloooooorious. After my scary challenging expanding class last week, it felt good to explore poses Iโm already comfortable with. She said, โIf itโs in your practice to do side crow, go ahead and come into side crow on the right sideโ and I thought, โYeahhhhh, thatโs in my practice!!โ Haha.
When I came home, I had some shredded chicken with black beans on top of a sweet potato:
(not the most attractive picture, but a really delicious combo)
+ the quintessential glass of Malbec.
A pretty tasty day of eats ๐
Iโm off to do the work thang right now, but in the meantime, wanted to share a new Zumba video! Sasha and I filmed it this week when we were getting some photos taken for our YouTube channel (please subscribe, if youโd like!). The video was filmed at the fabulous Breakout Studios here in Tucson; check it out if youโre local and looking for strength and dance fitness options.
Hope you enjoy! If you try the video, please let us know what you think.
Happy dancing ๐
xoxo

What did you eat on your Wednesday? Whatโs your favorite yoga pose? Mine is definitely standing bow pulling pose (also called โdancerโ). I also love birds of paradise <3

Did you omit the coconut flour from your fudge recipe? Any reason why?
No, I forgot to list it! Used about a tablespoon
Thanks!
Thanks so much Gina for putting up that zumba video. Its 11 pm on Sunday night, I was tired and sick of cramming for finals all dayโฆ so I got up and danced with you girls, and gosh do I feel better:) I love your energy, itโs always so positive!
This zumba video looks so fun! Iโll have to try it next time Iโm in spandex. ๐ Already in Sunday eve relax mode.
The two poses you listed are funny for me โ I, for some reason, cannot get into Dancerโs Pose or Boat (I think Iโve had a bad experience with them or something) but Birds of Paradise is my summer goal to accomplish! Thanks for the yoga love!
Wow..I kinda expected that you would be good at Zumba since you are an instructor, but after watching your video, you are REALLY good..the yoga fexibility shows in the graceful way you move and you make it look so much fun! Iโm gonna try this in my next workout ( i generally do a couple of zumba songs after my 20 min HIIT routine as a lighter & fun cardio to cool down. )
Also, I had been away from your blog for a few weeks and now when I see your current pics, you look much leaner & healthier ( of course you were in great shape before also ! ). Did you try anything else to your workout/ diet which you would like to share? ๐ or maybe you tried the summer workouts for us ๐
