Dr. Seuss Hair

Iโ€™ve always thought the Pilot and I make a pretty good team, but itโ€™s even more apparent now with a little one in the house. We donโ€™t have to ask or say anything -we just  help each other out. He stays home with Livi on Saturday while I go to work,

Iโ€™ll get to see them on my lunch break

(Zumba hair! Or as someone pointed out on Instagram = Dr Seuss hair. Haha)

and then I come home, heโ€™ll start making dinner while I take Livi upstairs to give her a bath, feed her and put her to bed. If Iโ€™m making dinner, he watches Livi, or sheโ€™ll sit in the bouncy seat and hang out with us while we cook together.

Yesterday, when I got home from work, we went to grab some groceries for dinner, and shared this bag of Popchips on the way home:

(new favorite flavor alert!)

and the Pilot served us some wine and ceviche while we he prepped dinner.

Ceviche

Iโ€™ve been trying to only have wine once a week, but when a handsome man pours you a glass of red, you canโ€™t really say no ๐Ÿ˜‰

I went upstairs to do the bath/bedtime routine, and came down to an amazing feast:

Veg 2

Iโ€™ve been hankering for grilled corn on the cob lately, so the Pilot made corn, steak for himself, mushrooms (for my โ€œmeatโ€) and a giant, grilled sweet onion. I had a couple slices of the onion to try it, enjoyed some tahini sauce on my mushrooms, and LOVED the corn. Itโ€™s funny because I used to hate corn, and now, off the grill in the summer, I love it.

I think it has something to do with this:

Condiments

A squeeze of lime juice + some butter

So good.

After dinner, I went to the gym to take the video and pics for this weekโ€™s Summer Shape Up workout.

Holy jump squat shufflesโ€ฆ

Squat jump

I hope you love it! The entire workout will be up tonight on the Intro Page, where the Week 3 grocery list and meal plans are also located.

Whoโ€™s grocery shopping and planning for the week? Whatโ€™s on the menu?

Check in

Hope you have a very happy and restful Sunday!

See ya later with pics from the day <3

    OMG, I love this hairstyle. I was actually trying it out yesterday!!! Looks awesome.
    Do you have any advice on how I can re-create it so that it looks like yours?!

    (Donโ€™t want to sound like a smart-ass: But isnโ€™t it Dr.Seuss?)

    I usually donโ€™t get any samples at stores but yesterday at Costco I gave in and tried those chips. Holy cow! Those are amazing and I could eat the whole bagโ€ฆ by myselfโ€ฆin one sittingโ€ฆand not be sorry! YUM

    • Fitnessista on June 24, 2012 at 12:48 pm

      SO GOOD! we killed the bag right before dinner

  4. KellyO on June 24, 2012 at 12:53 pm

    Groceries are bought and prepped for the week. Nice to have that out of the way!

  5. CoutStar on June 24, 2012 at 12:55 pm

    Loving the Dr. Seuss hair! I bet it brought a smile to everyones face before your class!

  6. Mac on June 24, 2012 at 12:56 pm

    Love your Dr. Seuss hair and the idea of thai sweet chili pop chips! Iโ€™ll have to keep my eyes peeled for them!

  7. Angela on June 24, 2012 at 12:59 pm

    I just did the HIIT workout (for tomorrowโ€“my week is going to be a little hectic so Iโ€™m pushing everything up a day). I could only do 20 minutes on an outdoor track though because I underestimated the heat (dehydration sucks!) Going to do 10 more minutes in my room and hit the abs too after I chug some more water ๐Ÿ™‚
    Btw, my calves were KILLING me all day yesterday & somewhat today from Fridayโ€™s workout. Must have done something right :p Have a great Sunday!

  8. Kaila @healthyhelperblog! on June 24, 2012 at 1:29 pm

    Such a cute picture of bell! Love the puppy eyes!!

  9. Brittany on June 24, 2012 at 1:49 pm

    My legs were about to fall off after doing tabata yesterday. So much fun though!

  10. Averie @ Averie Cooks on June 24, 2012 at 2:09 pm

    Iโ€™ve only had Popchips onceโ€ฆa little sample bag and that flavor sounds worth checking out.

    Cute hair ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Jen on June 24, 2012 at 2:13 pm

    I have crohnโ€™s so no popcorn for this girl but pop chips are a good replacement and there so yummy! Love the hair itโ€™s so different!

  12. Madre in law on June 24, 2012 at 2:16 pm

    Love the hair, Gina. I like alternative styles!

  13. Jess on June 24, 2012 at 2:17 pm

    Love the hair!!!

  14. Marissa@ohhhsolovely on June 24, 2012 at 2:22 pm

    that is so awesome that you two make such a good team. that is what iโ€™m hoping for when we have a baby come along!

  15. Erin @ The Grass Skirt on June 24, 2012 at 2:38 pm

    I love seeing pictures of Bella. I had a dog that looked just like her, but she passed away earlier this week. ๐Ÿ™ Iโ€™m going to try adding some spices to my corn on the cob. I am usually just a sea salt and Earth Balance girl when it comes to my corn.

  16. Emily on June 24, 2012 at 2:57 pm

    How do you get the French braid so tight?? Every time I try this itโ€™s a disaster!

  17. Lisa on June 24, 2012 at 3:11 pm

    Bella looks super adorable in that picture! Her eyes are the best! I have plans to try out your workout tomorrow, canโ€™t wait!

  18. Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy on June 24, 2012 at 3:12 pm

    awwww, The Pilot sounds like such a great husband:) that corn does sound delicious! and i love the pic of your pup! sooooo stinkinโ€™ cute!

  19. Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie on June 24, 2012 at 3:56 pm

    That last picture of Bella is adorable!! And your hair looks so cute like that!

  20. Eucalya on June 24, 2012 at 4:05 pm

  21. @pluvk on June 24, 2012 at 5:15 pm

    JUMP? SQUAT? SHUFFLES? Oh man, my thighs and glutes are trying to run away even as I type! ๐Ÿ™‚

    And of course you must have a glass of wine if a handsome man pours it for you. Itโ€™s the law! Have a great Sunday, Gina!

  22. Lisa on June 24, 2012 at 5:31 pm

    Gina Lou Who? Very cute.

  23. Bree on June 24, 2012 at 6:01 pm

    Oh the hair! I have tried that so many times! The plait always comes out okay but then something wierd happens at the front with my hair going all poofy like a helmet. Nicely done!

  24. Stacy Seraatt on June 24, 2012 at 6:12 pm

    Made coconut shrimp and rainbow chard rolls with cauliflower rice. Made the shrimp with coconut milk. It was very yummy! No leftoever here!! Heading to grocery shop!

    • Fitnessista on June 24, 2012 at 6:35 pm

      whoo hoo! ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Yaara on June 24, 2012 at 6:57 pm

    The Workout this week looks great Gina!! I canโ€™t wait to try it!

  26. Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn on June 24, 2012 at 9:25 pm

    Loveeeee popchips. My. addiction.

  27. Rebecca on June 24, 2012 at 9:35 pm

    Glad you liked the Dr. Seuss comment ๐Ÿ˜€ I can totally see you dressing up with Livi one day in matching costumes!

    How did you ever do your hair like that? Although I think you are pretty good at doing your hair โ€“ me, I would be all frustrated and it would look wackadoodle

  28. Cathy on June 24, 2012 at 9:42 pm

    Iโ€™ve been looking for a great fitness blog thatโ€™s a bit more personalized and cute. This is it!! Iโ€™m looking forward to reading more. Iโ€™ve been on this great workout routine as well as changing my eating habits. Started on Herbalife and itโ€™s been great thus far.

  29. Julie on June 24, 2012 at 11:51 pm

    That looks like an amazing meal that Iโ€™ll have to replicate!

  30. Alexis on June 25, 2012 at 1:43 am

    Did the Pilot make the ceviche and if soโ€ฆ can you share the recipe?? ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on June 25, 2012 at 11:46 am

      no, bashaโ€™s made the ceviche ๐Ÿ™‚ the pilot put it into a martini glass for meโ€ฆ and it was delicious

  31. Kate @KateMovingForward on June 25, 2012 at 9:16 am

    Got my meals all planned for this week and up on the blog, including a โ€œsnack bankโ€. Not exactly like you suggested, but fit to me, my crazy schedule and my picky husband! Looking forward to SSU Week 3!!

  32. Lauren T on June 25, 2012 at 10:15 am

    That is the cutest picture of Bell! and I LOVE your hair! Iโ€™m going to try that, but Iโ€™m guessing it wonโ€™t turn out nearly as cute haha

  33. Kelly on June 26, 2012 at 4:40 am

    I love that picture of Bell!
