His and Hers

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜€ Hope youโ€™re having a lovely night! A little note about the giveaway: thereโ€™s still one more thing I need to do, so be on the lookout for it sometime tomorrow.

Iโ€™ve done a little pre-celebrating โ€“and just had a glass of wine the size of my head so letโ€™s see how this turns out ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bday cards have come in the mail:

bdaycards

Mr. FedEx stopped by and brought a bday package from the familia

bdaybag

Full of fun gifties

goodies

Including snowman PJ pants, the new Buble CD, yogurt spoons, a cupcake plate, baby utensils and matching adult-sized one for the pilot, recipe cards, Baileyโ€™s truffles, and a gift card to one of my favorite stores ever: WORLD MARKET ๐Ÿ˜€

I blasted the Buble CD, coerced the pilot to dance with me, and made some omelets ๐Ÿ˜€

His omelet:

hisomelet

3 eggs stuffed with proscuitto, chicken and mozarella left over from the cordon bleu and potato pan fried in organic butter with garlic

Her omelet:

1 egg + 1 egg white puffed in the microwave, topped with leftover Giada veggies and a salad beast with Goddess dressing

His workout:

(Just kidding.. but he really doesnโ€™t have to do anything to look like a Roman god. If he eats a donut, it just makes his six-pack more defined. Man metabolism astounds me every day, haha)

Her workout:

Treadmill 4 miles Hill walking and sprint intervals; 45 minutes
Elliptical 5 minutes Level 5
Kettleball squats 6 lbs 3 sets of 12
Barbell deadlifts 20 lbs 3 sets of 12
Stability ball inner thigh squeeze Body weight 3 sets of 12
Plank Body weight 3 sets of 30 seconds
Prone dumbbell hamstring curl 8 lbs 3 sets of 12
Calf raises on a step Body weight 3 sets of 12
Dumbbell oblique toe reach 5 lbs 3 sets of 10 on each side
Total time: 1.5 hr    

His smoothie: Was PB & J and full of protein

Her smoothie: Was GREEN ๐Ÿ˜€

Her birthday cupcakes:

Jeni made me chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting! See the one on the left?? I ate all the frosting and the top off that one ๐Ÿ˜€ And it was foodgasmic ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you Jeni! <3

His pizza:

hispizza

Organic marinara, baby bella mushrooms, sausage, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, mozarella

Her pizza:

herpizza

Organic marinara, yellow squash, zucchini, sundried tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, balsamic vinegar and goat gouda

Topped with basil and red pepper flakes

herpizza (2)

(I only cut it in half for kicks.. you know I ate the whole thing)

The dough that made it possible:

dough

Homemade brown rice flour and spelt dough with oregano, basil, garlic and extra virgin olive oil

And we each had a salad with mixed greens, grape tamaters and Goddess dressing

saladdd

Now weโ€™re sitting here complaining that nothing is on TV and heโ€™s trying to convince me to โ€œbundle upโ€ (itโ€™s FREEZING outside) and putt putt golf with him.. we shall see ๐Ÿ™‚

Well Iโ€™m out like sauerkraut ๐Ÿ˜‰

See ya when Iโ€™m 25 ๐Ÿ˜€

xoxo,

Gina

Something to do: Take a second to be thankful for those who risk their lives to protect us <3 To all of my fellow military families out there, I am so thankful to each and every one of your service members for their selflessness and have so much respect and gratitude to all of you for sharing them with the rest of us. I know how the worry, loneliness, stress and the craziness that comes with watching the ones we love do courageous and dangerous things so that we can be safe and enjoy the many freedoms weโ€™re entitled to.

    Happy early Birthday! I hope you and the Pilot have a wonderful evening.

    The pizzas look delish, although I still have my fingers crossed for Ezekiel to come out with a prepared pizza crust!

  11. Jannifer on November 11, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    Thank you Pilot and Fitnessista and all our armed forces members and families for your service to our country!!!

  12. SAL on November 11, 2009 at 8:48 pm

    Happy Birthday(!!) and thanks for reminding of us of our servicemen and women, past and present.

  13. Stephanie on November 11, 2009 at 8:52 pm

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And thank you to your pilot for all he does! And to the families that support them!

  14. Sally on November 11, 2009 at 9:02 pm

    Gina, thanks for your shout-out to our military servicemen and women. My husband (Navy Pilot!) is deployed for the first time since we got married and being reminded of how much our guys (and gals!) overseas give up makes me unspeakably proud and gives me a lot of strength! I have certainly had a few little proud-yet-sad cry-fests today! Have an wonderful birthday, you certainly deserve it!

  15. VeggieGirl on November 11, 2009 at 9:03 pm

    Beautiful tribute and STELLAR pre-birthday celebrating!

  16. Sam (Merit to the Carrot) on November 11, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    Looks like you had a marvelous reunion with the pilot! I’m so happy for you. Also, I hope you have a great birthday :)The food looks scrumptious…..

  17. Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) on November 11, 2009 at 9:06 pm

  18. Sana on November 11, 2009 at 9:06 pm

    Hey Gina! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ๐Ÿ˜€ Hope you have an awesome night tonight.

  19. Alison on November 11, 2009 at 9:07 pm

    From one military wife (and November bithday girl) to another, Happy Veteran’s day AND birthday, to you.
    I’ve never commented here before, but I really enjoy reading your blog. You seem like a really fun person.
    Have a happy birthday tomorrow. 25 is a great age. I turn 33 (gasp!) next week and it’s safe to say that I wish I were 25 again.

  20. Nicci@NiftyEats on November 11, 2009 at 9:07 pm

    Happy Birthday Gina. Hope you have a great one!

  21. TorontoGirloutWest on November 11, 2009 at 9:08 pm

  24. Janna (Just Flourishing) on November 11, 2009 at 9:15 pm

    Yay! Happy almost birthday! Such a cute post.

    Man metabolism astounds me every day too. If I don’t go to the gym for a month, I gain 5 pounds. If my boyfriend doesn’t go to the gym for a month, he LOSES 20 pounds! How this works is beyond me ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hope you have fun celebrating!!!

  25. Sana on November 11, 2009 at 9:19 pm

    Happy b-day! And Thank you pilot!

  26. laura dishes on November 11, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    Gina and Pilot, thank you! I really cannot thank you enough for the safety and freedom that you allow me to have.

    Happy Birthday, Gina! Welcome to the first (almost) day of your quarterlife crisis… I’m 25, too! ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Light Delight with TouTou on November 11, 2009 at 9:29 pm

  28. Katie on November 11, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    Happy Bday and man metabolism amazes us all! Thank you pilot for all of us. And go play putt putt or watch the CMAs like the rest of us ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Fitnessista on November 11, 2009 at 9:36 pm

  29. Elizabeth on November 11, 2009 at 9:34 pm

    Oops! I made the rounds today to thank veterans, and forgot you guys! Thank you pilot for your service to our country, thank you Gina for your sacrifices… I hope the roman 6 pack abs are some consolation. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    And happy berfday G*.

  30. lindsey on November 11, 2009 at 9:35 pm

    oh my gooosh… you’re MY age?! way to make me feel like an underachiever!! just kidding =)
    I don’t know why men love putt putt- I kinda hate it!

  31. Kat on November 11, 2009 at 9:36 pm

    Happy Birthday! Haha your his-and-her food makes me laugh… It reminds me so much of me and my fiance’s ๐Ÿ˜‰ I just turned 26 in September – no quarter-life crises yet!

  32. Katieedid on November 11, 2009 at 9:49 pm

    Happy birthday, cousin! Hope its a great day, and the start of a great year. Love the picture of the hubby!

  33. Whitney @ Lettuce Love on November 11, 2009 at 9:51 pm

    Happy happy happy birthday!

  34. eatmovelove on November 11, 2009 at 9:59 pm

    What a great post – you have great style! Love all your eats – I adore cupcakes and frosting even more…it’s crazy – I just scoop frosting out of the tub…I’ll also put frosting on anything – like the most boring bran muffin – just to ‘dip’ something in the frosting. It’s ridiculous!!

    I love your pizza – I made a home-made one tonight too and ate the whole pie myself!! I then felt ‘bad’ about it, especailly since it was thicker crust and it seems like everyone is all about low-carb or veggies, etc. But I shouldn’t be like that. Thanks for helping me without even knowing it chick!!

  35. Teri on November 11, 2009 at 10:14 pm

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    And tell the pilot THANK YOU for all he does for this country. Really, it’s incredible to me.

  36. Olga @ Healthing It on November 11, 2009 at 10:20 pm

    That Goddess Dressing is practically addicting!

  37. Emily on November 11, 2009 at 10:23 pm

    Happy Early Birthday, Gina!! Enjoy!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Jill on November 11, 2009 at 10:47 pm

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (well slightly early)! It sounds like you are having a wonderful day and you deserve it! Your hubby is such a cutie and my dad is a pilot so those flight suit pics by planes always tug on my heart strings ๐Ÿ™‚

  39. Kelly on November 11, 2009 at 10:48 pm

    May you have the happiest of all birthdays!

    Also, thank you for the special message for Veteran’s Day :). My husband is also an AF pilot, and though I appreciated the sacrifice of service members and their loved ones before I met him, I definitely have a greater and more profound understanding of it now. I am so proud of them all!

  40. Nelly on November 11, 2009 at 11:10 pm

    happy birthday gina…i hope you had a beautiful day and night…

    i remember everyday all those that have given their lives and those that continue to protect and serve our countries (i’m from canada)…my heart breaks for all of you that have to deal with the sadness that comes with sending your loved ones out there for our freedom…you are all remarkable and wondrous souls…and i thank your hubby from the bottom of my heart…

    <3

  41. Laura @ Backstage Pass to Health & Happiness on November 11, 2009 at 11:38 pm

    That is a lovely tribute on this Veteran’s Day holiday.
    Happy Birthday! As someone who has a couple years on you, let me tell you that 25 is a great age!! You’ll love it.

  42. Alice on November 11, 2009 at 11:51 pm

    His & Hers everything. Adorable.

    I read this article –

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6543240/Bra-that-can-be-used-as-a-golf-putting-mat.html

    maybe the minigolf proposal is a little more edgy than you think?

  43. Katie on November 12, 2009 at 12:14 am

    Happy Birthday, Gina!!! I wish I could get Michael Buble to serenade you ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on November 12, 2009 at 9:42 am

      hahaha ME TOO ๐Ÿ˜€

  44. Devan G Newan on November 12, 2009 at 12:39 am

    • Fitnessista on November 12, 2009 at 9:43 am

  45. JAG on November 12, 2009 at 3:01 am

    Happy birthday Gina, fab post.

  46. Mama Pea on November 12, 2009 at 4:00 am

    Oooh, I just might be the first person to wish you a Happy Birthday on your actual birthday. It’s kind of late here. I’ll be kind of sucking down coffee in about 6 hours.

  47. Shelby on November 12, 2009 at 6:55 am

    Happy Birthday Gina!

    What is the recipe for that pizza crust? It sounds delicious!

    • Fitnessista on November 12, 2009 at 9:42 am

      it’s 1.5 cups water, 1 T of yeast dissolved in the water, the add 1 T extra virgin olive oil and salt to the mix. then i put the liquid into the mixer with the dough hook attachment with 3.5 cups of flour (i used all of the brown rice flour and spelt flour i had left to get 3.5 cups), let it rise for 1 hr. then add your spices ๐Ÿ˜€
      bake at 425 for 15 minutes

  48. Erica on November 12, 2009 at 7:27 am

    hahaha- ahhh the his and her meals, snacks, beverages, etc- the story of my life ๐Ÿ™‚ Yours look better to me…but don’t tell the pilot I said so!So grateful for what the pilot and all of the other military personnel do for us on a daily basis ๐Ÿ™‚ Cheers to him.

    AND HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY!

  49. K on November 12, 2009 at 7:51 am
