Turkey muffins
It took me almost a year, but I finally made it back 😉 (Thanks to my friend Megan for waking up early to be tortured with me) I’ve been wanting to go back to CrossFit for a while, but it hasn’t worked out with my schedule. I know that if you want something bad enough…

Like a nice summer meal
Hi friends 🙂 Thanks for all of your awesome feedback (and tips!) on our first 5k together. I can’t wait to run more races together as a family, whether they’re night races or later in the fall when it starts to cool down. For now, if want to run, it’s going to have to be…

Our first family 5k
We ran our first 5k as a family on Saturday night. (Sweaty and triumphant! Except for Liv, whose face is like, “Ew, mom”) I wasn’t sure if I’d have the gusto after a full day of teaching, but when a friend at work told me she’d be running the 5k, I couldn’t help but think…

What the yoga doc ordered + a NEW Zumba video
Last night’s yoga class was everything I needed. Usually when I take class Wednesday night, my body is toasted from teaching all day. I still go, because it’s the one class I like to take each week, just for me, and I haven’t once regretted it. If anything, I think all of the stretching helps…

5/26: Meals and fitness + adventures in home improvement
Anyone else obsessed with Home Improvement growing up? (photo source) JTT was my LOVE. I had posters from Tiger Beat plastered all over my wall, would write him letters and send little trinkets. Hashtag fan girl. While I wasn’t the hugest fan of actual actual home improvement projects -I really just didn’t love Home Depot…

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 here’s a What I Ate Wednesday on a Thursday 😉 Breakfast: 2 eggs + brown rice tortilla (with sriracha that I took to…

Dehydration 101
I got this request for a post last night, and since I didn’t have anything else to share this morning -I spent my Tuesday night with a glass of red and my Kindle since Liv was sleeping and the Pilot was flying- I figured it would be perfect for today. The title could possibly suggest…

On set
This afternoon, Sasha and I had the opportunity to get some photos taken by the amazing James Patrick. He’s well-known for his work in the fitness industry -he does a lot of fitness magazine and Bodybuilding shoots- and we asked him to help take pics for our YouTube channel. We brought some fun dance outfits,…

Sweet Potato Pesto Pasta {gf with an easy Paleo/vegan option}
Last night was girls’ night since the Pilot had a late flight. When Liv woke up from a 3-hour nap (I finished up some to-dos, and even got to read and paint my toenails! Hallelujahhhhh), we had an awesome lunch together. I’d been wanting to make her something with fresh basil since she loves picking…

Pool, pull-ups and a [zumba] playlist
After an awesome breakfast, (pancakes, berries and eggs) We grabbed our swim stuff and left for a morning adventure – it was a perfect day for a swim! In standard Gina fashion, I messed up the times at our gym to use the pool. I thought the pool class started at 10:30, but turns out…

5/19: Meals and Fitness for the week
Some things of lately: (<–aka this post is a little all over the place. Let’s just roll with it) A bright and early Friday morning Sabino Canyon hike: (did about 4 miles) and then after breakfast, Livi and I met up with friends to play at the Children’s Museum for the morning. It’s so cute…
