His and Hers
Hey everyone ๐ Hope youโre having a lovely night! A little note about the giveaway: thereโs still one more thing I need to do, so be on the lookout for it sometime tomorrow.
Iโve done a little pre-celebrating โand just had a glass of wine the size of my head so letโs see how this turns out ๐
Bday cards have come in the mail:
Mr. FedEx stopped by and brought a bday package from the familia
Full of fun gifties
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, Baileyโs truffles, and a gift card to one of my favorite stores ever: WORLD MARKET ๐
I blasted the Buble CD, coerced the pilot to dance with me, and made some omelets ๐
His omelet:
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 doesnโt 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 ๐
(Tropical superfood smoothie from The Main Squeeze)
His birthday cupcakes:
The Car bomb cupcakes ๐
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 ๐ And it was foodgasmic ๐ Thank you Jeni! <3
His pizza:
Organic marinara, baby bella mushrooms, sausage, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, mozarella
Her pizza:
Organic marinara, yellow squash, zucchini, sundried tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, balsamic vinegar and goat gouda
Topped with basil and red pepper flakes
(I only cut it in half for kicks.. you know I ate the whole thing)
The dough that made it possible:
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
Now weโre sitting here complaining that nothing is on TV and heโs trying to convince me to โbundle upโ (itโs FREEZING outside) and putt putt golf with him.. we shall see ๐
Well Iโm out like sauerkraut ๐
See ya when Iโm 25 ๐
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 weโre entitled to.
happy birthday gina!
happy birthday gina!! ๐ I hope you had a great one!! Is the pilot turning 25 too?
Happy birthday! November is so the best birthday month ๐ And you just made me want pizza!
Happy birthday, girl! Enjoy your night.

Happy early birthday!
I <3 your blog!
Aww how cute! Happy Early Birthday!!

K
What a cute post! I love that your fam sent you a cupcake plate!! The dishes you serve your food on always make me smile haha.
Happy Birthday!! ๐
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!
Thank you Pilot and Fitnessista and all our armed forces members and families for your service to our country!!!
Happy Birthday(!!) and thanks for reminding of us of our servicemen and women, past and present.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And thank you to your pilot for all he does! And to the families that support them!
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!
Beautiful tribute and STELLAR pre-birthday celebrating!
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…..
happy almost birthday! yay!
Hey Gina! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ๐ Hope you have an awesome night tonight.
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.
Happy Birthday Gina. Hope you have a great one!
Good job on the pre-celebrating! ๐
Thank you for everything families like yours do every single day! It matters – it really does.
Happy Birthday Gina!!!
Happy birthday! I love the His/Hers idea. Very Very cute!!!
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 ๐
Hope you have fun celebrating!!!
Happy b-day! And Thank you pilot!
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! ๐
Happy Birthday!!
Her omelet looks way much healthier than his omelet! haha:)
hahah that’s how we roll ๐
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 ๐
i picked the CMAs ๐ carrie underwood is GORG!
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. ๐
And happy berfday G*.
yes, the roman six pack helps a little ๐
thank you <3
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!
Happy Birthday! Haha your his-and-her food makes me laugh… It reminds me so much of me and my fiance’s ๐ I just turned 26 in September – no quarter-life crises yet!
Happy birthday, cousin! Hope its a great day, and the start of a great year. Love the picture of the hubby!
Happy happy happy birthday!
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!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And tell the pilot THANK YOU for all he does for this country. Really, it’s incredible to me.
That Goddess Dressing is practically addicting!
Happy Early Birthday, Gina!! Enjoy!! ๐
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 ๐
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!
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
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.
His & Hers everything. Adorable.
I read this article –

maybe the minigolf proposal is a little more edgy than you think?
Happy Birthday, Gina!!! I wish I could get Michael Buble to serenade you ๐
hahaha ME TOO ๐
I loved this post ๐
Happy Birthday to youu!
I have the same red square bowls :O
and Yogurt Spoons!!?? neat!
yes! they’re square shaped, so they’ll get every little bit out of the container ๐
Happy birthday Gina, fab post.
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.
Happy Birthday Gina!
What is the recipe for that pizza crust? It sounds delicious!
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 ๐
bake at 425 for 15 minutes
hahaha- ahhh the his and her meals, snacks, beverages, etc- the story of my life ๐ 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 ๐ Cheers to him.
AND HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day ๐
Happy birthday woman!
