Happy Ticker
Hey everyone! Hope you’ve had a great day <3
(Bella is overdue for a haircut- she’s such a fluffball. When she’s fluffy like this, she gets a sassy and defiant attitude)
I loved reading about your Cinco plans and favorite cereals and thank you for the well-wishes for the heart ultrasound! It went well, didn’t take too long, and the tech said that everything looked good. Glad to know I have a happy ticker 🙂
Some of today’s eats:
1 egg + 2 egg white omelet with arugula and mustard
and millet + Polaner
+ more millet with almond butter and Polaner
Smoooooothie
-1 C almond milk
-1/2 banana
-Jarrow brown rice protein (I’m out of Sun Warrior)
-1 C frozen organic cherries
-1 T raw cacao powder
-vanilla and Stevia
It was the perfect snack before the aerobics frenzy begins 🙂
I’m off to teach spin (off the bike, since I don’t want to overdo it), Zumba and 15-minue Abs. Then, margaritas and fajitas with the girls.
I’ll probably be wishing for Bobby Flay margaritas… but a rita is a rita, and hopefully they’ll still be good 😉
xoxo,
Gina
Today’s tip: Contract your abs while doing little things around the house, like putting dishes away from the dishwasher, bending over to switch out laundry, etc. You’ll be surprised how much you use your abs on a daily basis, and contracting them during activities is a great way to get in a little extra burn.
Zumba song of the day: “Blanco” by Pitbull

mmmmmmmmm can’t wait for margs a little later 🙂 have fun at Zumba!
Thank goodness your heart is a-ok! 🙂
or buy one of those awesome as-seen-on-tv belts that shock your abs and sit on the couch like java the hut waiting to get a 6-pack! I’ll let you know how this works…

Glad you are okay! I will be having some of those margs later… ! happy cinco de mayo!
Those Bobby Flay margaritas look wonderful right now! Have a fun night out with the girls!
Aw, I’m so glad to hear the good ticker news:D
Mmmm Bobby Flay margaritas! those look incredible. happy to hear about your happy ticker! happy cinco de mayo!
Yay! You are like me- we can both just live with a heart murmur!
Haha, I love how Bella gets all sassy with her long hair – such a personality trait! Good to know you’re perfectly healthy, that’s always a relief 🙂
love the exercise tip.. truly is a great way to get fit while doing random things. love it 🙂
glad you have a healthy heart! my sister has a heart murmur and it basically means she has to take lots of antibiotics before going to the dentist. i’ll be making strawberry margaritas tonight, along with frid ice cream YUM!
why before the dentist? only before the dentist?
sorry, before AND after. i have no idea why. i think the murmur makes you more susceptible to infection, but i dont know why it was just the dentist… 🙂
Good tip on contracting your abs when doing everyday activities. Such a little thing, but I had forgotten about it. You offer such helpful tips 🙂 thank you!
Have an extra ‘rita for me–I think I just may be the only person on the planet who ISN’T celebrating Cinco de Mayo! Which is strange because I love any excuse to chow down on chips and guac 🙂

Wow that millet bread with AB and polaner would seriously hit the spot right now. I’m glad you have a happy, healthy ticker 🙂
glad the ultrasound went well! it’s always awesome to get feedback that everything is in working order 🙂
How hilarious that Bella gets sassy with longer hair! Sounds like a busy movin night for you!
Glad your heart is all good! =)
Ive been meaning to ask what is millet bread and how is it different?
Yum your margaritas look delicious! Have fun!
mmm, looks good!
Good to know all is a-ok!
you should post your 15 minute ab routine 🙂
Today’s Tip is a good idea. I actually find myself doing that A LOT already, so i guess thats a good thing.
We have a poodle as well (toy) and he just got shaved today. It’s funny you mention the change in attitude… he is such a little punk when he gets overgrown! You can’t do anything with him… he’s snappy and anxious and nippy and grumbly. It’s like living with a teenager! I wonder why our poods do that??
Glad your heart is OK. I always try to remind myself to contract my abs, but I can never remember.
Those ‘ritas look SO delicious….so I did some searching and found the recipe online – I just wish I knew where to get cactus pear juice 🙂

Good to hear your heart is doing well!
Hope your regular ‘Ritas are still good, Gina! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Glad to hear you have a “happy ticker”
I bought a bag (bag?) of millet bread from whole foods a couple of months ago and savored every last piece. it’s expensive and although it wasn’t my favorite thing ever, i did really like it! I’ve definitely tried some interesting new eats since reading your blog. Hello, maca!!
Just about to get ready to go out and get MY margarita/cinco de mayo on!! Hope you had a great time with the girls tonight, can’t wait to hear about it!! <3
I’m happy to hear that your doc appointment went well lady. Hopefully you enjoyed your cinco de mayo celebration! Sadly I didn’t get to have any gauc or a margarita. :/ I think I might need to make up for that this weekend.
So I’ve been meaning to ask you; I’ve been thinking about picking up Millet bread (mainly because I’ve seen it around on so many blogs). But before I do, I was wondering are there any specific health benefits of it, other than being g-free? And how does it taste compared to other breads? I apologize if you already addressed this in a post…!)
hey girl,
it’s whole grain, which is awesome, and it tastes great. the texture is like a poundcake- very dense and chewy 🙂
got it – thanks!! (you had me at pound cake, haha!)
