Child of the Wild

Eh, this place is ok I guess ๐Ÿ˜‰

mountains

Howdy from the Smoky Mountains! We got in late last night and I havenโ€™t seen a ghost or been captured by a sasquatch yet, so Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s a win ๐Ÿ˜€ The scenery is a double win.

We definitely hit some traffic on the way up:

But after making it through Hotlanta, it wasnโ€™t too shabby.

Bella munched a chicken breast from Sonic:

And I munched sauerkraut.. straight out of the jar.

Classy lady ๐Ÿ˜€

The drive up the mountain gave me MAYJAH heeby jeebies, but once we got here and I was in jammies with a cup of tea,

Things were bueno.

(The snowman mug and the Vitamix follow me wherever I go)

I also brought some organic fruits and veggies with us:

After staying up late chatting with the in-laws, we crashed out and woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon.

I had my โ€œeggs and baconโ€โ€ฆ. a sludge!

Festive, no?

It had:

-1.5 cups almond milk

-1 scoop Sun Warrior vanilla protein

-lots of spinach

-a banana

-1/2 t spirulina

-sprinkle of Stevia

-foodgasms

Iโ€™m not sure whatโ€™s going on the rest of the day, but the pilotโ€™s madre, sis and nephew should be here soon. I know thereโ€™s a yoga podcast in the near future along with a glass of vino ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a wonderful day!

xoxo,

Gina

    hey gina-
    I see that you have your own version of breakfast while others enjoy theirs.. do you ever come across any problems with family members that aren’t familiar with eating raw/vegetarian? sometimes my family doesn’t understand my eating habits.. and it can make all quite uncomfortable. any suggestions?

    thanks!

    Hey Gina, I would like to echo Maris above. I know you’ve dealt with this before, but I can’t seem to find the appropriate post in your archives. If you get a chance, maybe you could link to the post where the blog discussed how to deal with people who hate on healthy?

    Merry Christmas Gina! I’ve been reading your site for over a year but, sadly, this is my first comment! I’m glad y’all had a safe trip up and hope you have a great holiday!

    I do have a random comment…I used some of your workouts from the Summer Shape-Up yesterday and I remember you saying you were going to do a Winter Shape-Up sometime after the first of the year. Would it be possible for you to do some printer-friendly workouts? I like to print yours out and take them with me for reference and, maybe it’s just my computer, but some of the pictures and descriptions get cut off when I print straight from the website. It would be a fabby Christmas gift! ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t wait to see what you come up with! (PS: Pec N Press Kicked My You Know What!)

  16. Jessica (fit and clean) on December 25, 2009 at 10:48 am

    Glad you were able to make it through Hotlanta. I hate the traffic here! Hope you and your Pilot have a fantastic Christmas! ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. Yet Another Emily :] on December 25, 2009 at 10:54 am

    Welcome to our lovely North Carolina (if that’s the part of the Smokies you happen to be in) :] Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and enjoy the snow!

  18. Yet Another Emily :] on December 25, 2009 at 10:56 am

    Oh, and no worries. I’ve been in those mountains tons of times and never had any trouble with sasquatches or ghosts. Besides, that’s more a Pacific Northwest kind of thing. ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen on December 25, 2009 at 12:51 pm

    Merry Christmas classy lady ๐Ÿ™‚ The mountains look gorgeous, I’m sure you won’t have any troubles with sasquatch!
