Fashion Worm
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Howโs your day going?
I had A NIGHT last night.
The Pilot and I were talking on the phone, and I was Googling celebrity style tips (love copying celebrity fashion). Next thing I knew, I horrible worm was attacking my computer :/ The Pilot and I worked together for 3 hours to get the worm off, download new anti-virus (the worm wasnโt letting me open ANY programs!) and get it all fixed.
Lessons:
-Iโll never use Mozilla again
-Iโll follow the directions when my anti-virus tells me to update
-Will Google celebrity fashion stuff from my phone
In the whole process, I learned that my computer has over 400,000 files (168 were corrupted and are now fixed)!! Insane in the membrane.
This morning, Bella and I slept in, enjoyed some b-fast (the quinoa cereal I told ya about the other day. Gave it another try = still nast) and then I was dominated by a Pilates class at the gym.
I havenโt taken Pilates in forreeeevvvverrrr and boy oh boy did my abbies feel the burn.
Itโs funny because when I started the little blog, I was totally a Pilates girl. I hadnโt discovered studio yoga (studio yoga is often > gym yoga) and practiced Pilates a few times a week. Today, I was really excited to take my favorite guyโs class here in Tucson (the one who I would see after a night out with friendsโฆ and black feet), but he wasnโt there ๐ The other instructor was excellent, and it felt so good to stretch and get in some great toning work.
Snackage was a protein muffin.
These are more like a soufflรฉ than a muffin. Very soft and light from the egg whites, but very unique and delicious. I think theyโd be a thousand times better with some chocolate chips thrown in ๐
When they cook up, they expand like crazy too- I thought it was going to overflow.
This afternoon, Iโm going to see my madre so she can fix my eyebrows (theyโre looking a little roughโฆ and unibrow-ish. Hawt), and heading to a friendโs house for taco and Brad Pitt night. ๐
Have a lovely day <3

PS. The POD arrived in Georgia today! The Pilot is in the process of going through everything and said heโll send me some summer clothes I have in there. I love him so much ๐
Something to talk about:
Are you more of a Pilates or Yoga Fan?
Ready for another Summer Shape Up this year? Iโm still figuring out the deets, but let me know what types of workouts youโd like to see!
I’m definitely more of a yoga plan – I liked Pilates, but I definitely practice yoga for its mental/emotion benefits as well as physical – I have never had the same experience with Pilates!
Hi Gina,
First want to say I highly respect you and all the information you share about fitness. I’m just a little tired of reading about how gym yoga classes are less than studio. I teach at two gyms and feel I am a GREAT teacher. I’ve taken studio classes that have SUCKED! So, please consider this when you continue to spread the myth that gym yoga is “bad.” It’s all about finding a teacher you like…you can find a good teacher at a studio OR gym! Thanks!
I think the rationale behind this type of myth is that a lot of gyms dont understand qualifications behind yoga instructors. Sure, you can get a great yoga instructor at a gym, but you can also get someone uncertified who picked up a few tricks from yoga DVDs. Allowing these types of teachers to have jobs devalues the people (like myself) who spend thousands of dollars and months getting certified through a yoga school and also changes the meaning of yoga (not to mention makes people think that paying $4 for an hour yoga class is acceptable). There definitely is more to the argument than gym=bad; studio=good. And I dont doubt that you are great teacher, but I think we need to be open to what the entire situation – on both sides.
i agree that there are good gym yoga teachers.. but in all of 8 years of taking classes, i’ve only found one, so you have to understand where i’m coming from. i’d love to take yoga in a gym setting if i could find a good, legit teacher here in tucson
