Extra Protein
Hi guys! How are ya?
I could get used to thisโฆ
Since itโs my cousinโs spring break this week, sheโs been my daytime Orlando buddy. Today, we went down to our grandparentโs pool with one of her friends. Listening to the Bob Marley station on Pandora made it an extra lovely day ๐
Spin class this morning was a lot of fun, too, if you consider sweating like a beast โfunโ ๐ Israel kicks my booty every. single. time. We did 1 minute sprints, sets of 25 jumps, heavy climbs (keeping the beat of the music) and other spinsanity. Amazing ๐ After class, I did some light weights for my leggies as well as some abs.
Eats:
Millet with almond butter and banana with coffee
Smoothie and a side of yorkie (my auntโs dog, Scamp- Viesa tried to eat him once)
Larabar
(Tastes like the Bahamasโฆ. or what I would imagine the Bahamas to taste like)
Edamame:
Andโฆ umโฆ extra protein
a WORM!!!
Imagine the most blood curdling scream youโve ever heard accompanied with a crazy hopping dance. That was me.
At least it proves that the edamame was organic, right? Haha.
Today, I rocked out my new headband, courtesy of Targizzle.
And my cousins and I went to Florida Mall to hit up Sephora and the ginormous Forever 21.
As Mama Pea says, shopping at Forever 21 doesnโt make you 21 Forever ๐
Shopping fuel:
They actually spelled my name right! (I see a lot of crazy variations)
My aunt just got home and weโre off to dinner. See ya in the morning with a post on dealing with deployments.
xoxo,

Have you ever had any โextra proteinโ in one of your meals before?? Iโll never forget when I was about 7 and I was drinking my soda and starting to chew on something crunchy. It was a fly. I was traumatized forever ๐
Years ago I dumped a box of macaroni into a pot of boiling water – when I checked back on it a few minutes later I found bug larvae floating to the top of the pot! I never ate macaroni and cheese again! Sooo gross!
I love Sephora! There is going to be one opening in our mall here in about 2 months and I am uber-excited.
Ahaha omg a fly?! Sounds yummy… ๐
That headband is fly!
I love your headband, Gina! Gorgeous.
Fortunately, I haven’t had any traumatizing experiences with food. That worm would have skeeved me out too!
Ahhh!! Bleh! I would have thrown out the rest after that. Guh!
That headband is SO pretty:) I wish I could wear headbands – they always hurt behind my ears.
I couldn’t imagine having a worm in my edamame! I’m really going to start checking now. The pool looks amazing and I love F21. Can’t wait to see what you got.
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ewwww!
I have had a run in with a snail on kale before, ewww!
Seeing your grandparents pool made me miss my old apt’s lap pool! It was the best… Salt water too, so it was easy on the skin/ hair. Have a great day! -Mary
yes, my parents have a salt water pool and i LOVE it!!
Oh my goshhhh about the worm and fly! I am traumatized from just thinking about that!
funny you mention this because just last week I made a pb&J and I opened up a new jar of jelly and there was a tiny worm (pretty much like the one on you Edamame) at the top. Ew Ew Ew..I also screamed for a bit!
I got a peach from an open air market in Rome when I was studying there, I had eaten about half and went to take another bite and a worm crawled out! EW…but I figured that meant it was organic and I ate the rest because it was really good!
Loved reading your take on deployment. My best friends husband is a Marine, he is scheduled to be home in two weeks, just in time for their first born! ๐
Hey Gina I have been reading for some months now and always love checking in with you. I live in Orlando and visit all the places you have been writing about and then when I read your post I thought, hmmm..that pool looks familiar. I live there! I can’t believe you have been wandering around right by our place! Too funny. Hope you have been having a great time!
hahah that’s so crazy! my grandparents (kinda.. my cousin’s grandparents) live there ๐
