Blizzard Booty Burner
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- she dashes outside and runs back in. I love it.
Breakfast was pretty standard over here:
2 eggs, nutritional yeast and toast
+ a baked (aka microwaved) apple
I’m off to do the work thang, and am thankful to Chipotle for making my lunch.
Leftover chicken, brown rice, black bean, salsa, guacamole salad and a Vega bar
I’m off!
Have a Happy Wednesday <3

Ooh I like that workout and how it adds another exercise each round! It baffles me that you guys have snow (in the distance) and I, living in Southern Ontario have zero snow right now – it’s still cold, but this is pretty much unheard of at this time of year! I hope you have a wonderful day Gina!
Yay for take out! I enjoy snow from a distance myself as well. I used to live in the arctic (Calgary Alberta) which is just snow land in the winter. I am over it. Lol
Burpees. Really. Because you hate us or just think all the comments you’ll get about how much burpees are the devil are funny? I am only going to do this because you’re pregnant and I blame mommy insanity.
by hate you mean LOVE 🙂
and because i’m going to pop this baby out at any second and cannot burpee for now, you guys have to live it up for me 😉
On the 1st day of Christmas my true love sent to me…
That was my first thought after reading the workout 🙂
Have a nice day 🙂
I too am a fan of snow when it is AWAY from me! You seem to live in such a beyond gorgeous area.
I love burpees ! hehe Will probably try this today (: !
I used to be a fan of snow until I moved to Saskatchewan. It snows a few times and then stays from Octoberish until March/April. You get sick of it when it stays for that long.
PS Burpees? They are so evil. I’ll give it a try, but I’m not promising miracles haha.
Is that your daily view? JEALOUS.
yes! i <3 the mountains here so much
hope you're doing well, friend!!
Will be doing this workout tomorrow! Sounds like a gooder
Omg I love that jimmy kimmel video!! Although some of the kids got rather angry.
some of those kids were hardcore BRATS
Definitely going to steal that workout! 🙂
Hehe I like snow from a distance too. I can see the mountains from my bedroom window so I like waking up and seeing it – far far away :).
I need to start adding a little extra kick to my breakfasts, especially in terms of protein, and adding nutritional yeast to eggs sounds like a great idea. Do you just sprinkle it over top of them or mix it in with them before scrambling?
either or. i like it scrambled in while they cook the best
I can’t wait to try the workout. My dog loves the cold. He’s a 12 lb American Eskimo so he has lots of fur to keep him warm.
That youtube video of terrible presents is GREAT! Ha. Hopefully you’ll avoid that if you stick with your experience gifts idea 🙂
amen to that.
if i ever acted as ungrateful as some of those kids growing up, i would have been in HUGE trouble.
Hehehe, wicked fast? That sounds like a New Englander talkin’ 🙂 Girl after my own heart!
i got it from my friend shel (who is from massachusetts)- she says it all the time 🙂
Haha I totally enjoy snow better from a distance… hopefully we won’t be getting a blizzard here in D.C. anytime soon this year. i tweeted this, but do you have advice for toning up the midsection/abs??
here ya go 🙂 http://fitnessista.com/2009/12/readers-request-fab-abs/
The Chipotle in AZ has brown rice?! Not fair.
yeah, it’s new! so exciting
GOSHDARNIT. I thought the BBB was going to be a Dairy Queen blizzard that somehow burned my booty.
’cause THAT would have been awesome.
blizzards are amazing. especially the cookie dough one 🙂
Love that workout! Reminds me of a body rock one I’ve been doing lately! And I wish I had the option of observing snow from a distance….nope, I instead am surrounded by it!!!! NO BUENO.
This workout looks killer, and like I can do it at home. I have to try this out!!
hope you love it!
ooo look at tucson!! so pretty!! i heard phx was pretty rainy lately…the sun better start shinin bc im coming saturday!! great workout!
Totes jealous y’all are seeing snow! It’s been unseasonably warm on the east coast [50’s] I can’t imagine seeing snow on the ground… Maybe it’s all building up and we’ll get a big blizzard in January?! I’m hoping for my first snow days as a teacher 😀
“From a distance, that is 😉 (I enjoy snow the most this way)” <– Me too. As in about 1000 miles away is close enough. Moved out of snowy climates and NEVER plan to return. Unless you count a 24hr ski trip…lol
Little dogs especially usually dread rain or snow so IF you can get them to go out in it, they are usually super fast as you mentioned. Thank goodness for small miracles 🙂
“on the 1st day of Christmas, Fitnessista gave to me,” *insert booty burner workout* “and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeee……..”
I can’t do burpees. Jumping hurts me in that way; or maybe I’m just uncoordinated.
I LOVE that china black rice bread (take me to rehab). Just had some with olive oil, eggs, avocado and then more dipped in thick creamy yogurt. Yum!
(I think the black china rice bread is even BETTER than the brown rice stuff. Its less dense or something (?). I’m not sure! I’ve heard the Udi’s bread is good too, haven’t tried.
I’m curious why you wait for Bella. Can she get out of the fence or are you worried she’ll find a snake or coyote when you’re not watching? Just curious!
she can’t get out, but we have coyotes, mountain lions, scorpions, hawks and rattlesnakes in the neighborhood.
We get a lot of snow, and when I was a kid I had a dachshund. She would “make” us clear off a spot for her to do her business, she refused to squat in snow!!
Onto your lunch, do you have a secret for making guacamole stay green longer? Mine turns brown so fast. I put extra lime juice in, and I try to cover it completely with saran wrap so no air gets in, but it still goes.
Aaahhh what a view!! I never realized Tucson was so close to mountains. Gorgeous!
Love this! I’m going to try it out next week on my “Corporate Boot Camp” ladies and see what they think. This will be a nice little warm-up. 😉 I’ve been loving warming up my pears and apples for breakfast. So yummy! Hope you had a great Wednesday!
Looks like a really awesome workout!
Your eggs look SOO good! Light and fluffy! What’s your cooking trick!?
YAY for snow!!!
and that workout sounds great, will have to try it tomorrow. I have been slacking in my workouts lately
I am going to sound REALLY stupid but, what is a burpee?
I’m so sore from yesterday’s leg workout right now, so that booty burner actually looks like torture to me right now! 😛
Looks like my view here in Boulder… Lovely
Have you ever tried a baked (microwaved) apple with Greek yogurt? I tried it for the first time yesterday (Greek yogurt was $1/tub so I stocked up) and it was amazing. It was kind of like apple pie ice cream.
that sounds wonderful!
