‘Tis the seasons

 Hi friends! Howโ€™s your Monday treating you? Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™re excited about the Bitsyโ€™s giveaway! If youโ€™re sans kiddos, enter for yourself! Theyโ€™re delicious. ๐Ÿ™‚

How was the weekend? Any fun events or fitness classes? I was able to catch a Cardio Barre class and an Orangetheory class. Iโ€™ve been teaching Cardio Barre for a couple of months now, and have had yet to take a class! Itโ€™s been tricky to shuffle into my schedule, but I was determined. WHOA. When you take something thatโ€™s already insanely challenging and add cardio drills to the mix, itโ€™s quite the sweat festival. It was fun to switch up the usual barre workout. Speaking of barre workouts, I have a new barre video headed your way this week!

Some weekend pics:

We enjoyed some family walks together. <3

Saturday night, the Pilot and I were both craving Seasons 52, so we packed up the noodles and headed out for dinner. Weโ€™ve found that if we time it early (around the magic hour of 5pm), it makes dinner so much more enjoyable. Liv was awesome as usual, and turns out that P likes Seasons just as much as we do. I asked for a side of veggies for her to go with her pouch, and they brought out a platter of roasted carrots, mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes. She went crazy for them!

My favorite salmon salad:

and the necessary mini dessert.

We always laugh about when weโ€™d go to Seasons in Orlando and ask the server to leave the entire tray of mini desserts. They always thought we were going, but no. Weโ€™d be building a tower with those shot glasses haha. 

Iโ€™ve been really into these brown rice cakes lately with peanut butter and fresh fruit:

Just wanted to stop in and say hi! Iโ€™m off to get ready for spin, and then weโ€™re grilling for dinner.

Hope youโ€™re having a happy Monday.

xoxo

    Oh my gosh…We have a new Jazzercise routine to Handclap and it is my favorite from our set! It’s such an awesome pumper song! ๐Ÿ™‚

    The mini dessert looks super yummy!

    • Fitnessista on August 15, 2016 at 9:02 pm

      they’re SO GOOD ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ah Seasons 52 & True Foods are a 30 minute drive for me. When I am that way, I can never decide which one to have. Somehow True Foods always wins.

    • Fitnessista on August 15, 2016 at 9:02 pm

      ahhhhh such a tough choice. we have true foods way more often because it feels more casual with the kiddos. they’re both amazing though

  6. Ashley @ A Lady Goes West on August 15, 2016 at 8:47 pm

    I think I told you this, but if you can go really late for dinner at Season 52, they totally give you free desserts at the end of the night. ๐Ÿ™‚ hahah! Save that for a sans kiddos late night.

    • Fitnessista on August 15, 2016 at 9:01 pm

      you did not tell me this, but it’s going to happen hahaha #gimmeallthedessert

    I love that song! And Seasons. I first tried it because of your recommendation!

  8. Katie M on August 16, 2016 at 9:05 am

    They are opening a True Foods this fall about 5 mins from me! I’ve been wanting to try it for years since I have read about you raving about the goodness! What brand of brown rice cakes are those?

  9. Erin on August 16, 2016 at 5:53 pm

    Just added that song to my total body blast class’s playlist and it revs us all up!

  10. Jessica on August 17, 2016 at 2:14 am

    Great song, I love it!! Adding this to my running playlist.

    • Fitnessista on August 18, 2016 at 11:57 am

    Beautiful family!

    Hi Gina! Okay this is going to be super random. I’ve been following you since the V-dizzy days and am now actually a pilot wife myself (my husband flies the Growlers for the Navy). He is heading to the boat to get his carrier qualification in San Diego soon and I will be joining him (in SD, not the boat haha).. any recommendations for things we must see/do/EAT with a short trip?? We have our 9.5 month old sidekick tagging along too ๐Ÿ™‚ thanks girl!!
