something to think
Not my skillz
One of my favorite things: taking a walk with my girls after work. It’s such a great way to end the day, and Bella appreciates the change of scenery. It’s also the icing on the cake when dinner is ready at home, waiting to be devoured: sweet potato and black bean chili! I didn’t have black beans…

NEW 5-minute Ab Workout
Lots of the usual suspects…. Standard breakfast: Work clothes ready to go, and getting things together for the morning. I leave tomorrow for my race -plus a special short trip that’s been included on top of that, more details to come- and I haven’t done anything to get ready. In standard Gina fashion, I’ll be…

Living in my coin belt
The past 24 hours have been filled with dancing- not a bad way to start a weekend. Last night, my work friends and I performed our bellydance at an event downtown. (Katie and I wearing normal clothes over our costumes. The legit bellydancers had sparkly coverups and tunics.. this is how we rolled) It was…

Back to “om”
I love Sundays. Especially ones filled with family brunches, getting chores checked off the list, and spending time with the people I love. Sunday flowers: We ended up doing a lot yesterday, and when I went to upload pics from the day.. there were only three. One of Bella patiently waiting for a green bean…

– Weekly Mexican feast with my favorite people. We dined at Blanco, I had the usual shrimp tacos, and the server also brought out two new salsas + guacamole. Be still, my chip and salsa loving heart. -Took the new pantalones for a test drive, and a big flowery headband for my little love. I’ve…

Triple Threat Cardio Workout
Come glide with me, let’s glide let’s glide awaaayyyyyyyy… I’m playing with the gliders on my lunch break because instead of Zumba, I’m teaching a glide class this afternoon. It’s my first time, so I want to make sure I have enough moves in my back pocket. The whole family is joining in on the…

Whenever the Pilot flies at night, I try to bring on the rain so that his flight is canceled and he comes home. So nice, huh? Last night, in typical Gina fashion, I did the rain dance, and the chip dance. I was just going to have a couple handfuls but then I dominated the…

(Besides the direct transfer from spoon to face) Thank you so much for all of the kind words about Tucker’s return. Within minutes of putting the post up, my friend Carrie found him on Craigslist! He’ll be back home with my family today. Social media is an incredible thing, indeed. While I waited for news…

-Wedding weekend! Our anniversary is tomorrow- I can’t believe so much has happened in the past 5 years. 3 military moves, 3 deployments, a house, a baby, traveling, adventures with the pups, hard times, amazing times, shenanigans. It feels like yesterday I was checking him out in between glances at my accounting book in Starbucks…

It’s a stormy night over here- perfect for a rainy day workout, eh? (Thank you so much to those of you who already did the workout and left your feedback! So glad you’re loving it so far) My friend Lisa spent the afternoon over here hanging out with Oliv and myself. Lisa is from Australia…

Not much in the land of new healthy food ideas over here. I’ve been enjoying eggs aplenty and abusing the bag of steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s that I found in the fridge. Makes for some pretty unappetizing food photos 😉 I do have a hot bar record for ya, though: $5.99! Ka-boom. (My record…

let’s sangria away…” Yes, “sangria” is a verb now. We had an AMAZING dinner at Firefly, a tapas restaurant, last night. Last time I had tapas, I was kind of disappointed. The portions were supposed to be shared, yet ridiculously tiny (like one wonton with a little tuna on top) and we all left hungry…
