Hot Bar Demolition
Hi guys! It’s FRIIIIIIIIIIIDAY 😀 What are you up to this weekend??
(This is Sophia, the in-laws’ gato. I’m not really a cat person, but I like her)
Last night after my day of Zumba-ing, I was ferociously hungry. The pilot picked me up from the hotel and knew exactly where to take me….
Cue the choir of angels 😀
“Ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhh”
I loaded up on hot bar goodness:
-Salmon salad
-marinated ‘shrooms
-Curry cauliflower
-Ethiopian grain salad
-Ratatouille
-Quinoa
-Kidney and black beans
I attacked said hot bar feast with vigor.
It was everything I could ever wish for.
Back at the in-laws, I showered my stinky face and sipped some vino while the pilot and his parentals ate dinner –they grilled burgers and veggies.
This morning, I grabbed an oatmeal cup on the way out the door:
-Oats
-Almond milk
-Sun Warrior
And also packed my lunch so I’m not at the whims of hotel food again 🙂
Off to shake my booty in a two-hour Zumba class! See ya this afternoon with fitness conference shenanigans and a re-cap of each class I’ll be taking.
Have a lovely Friday!
xoxo,
Gina

That conference sounds like so much fun! Have a great day!
Your hot bar choices look fantastic! Sometimes I wish WF was closer to me, but it is a good thing it is 20 minutes away. I would be there every day for lunch and dinner. So delicious.
I can’t wait to hear about Flirty Girl Fitness. Ha!
when i’ve been eating out recently, i’ve been trying to be careful of what i’m ordering SO, i’ve been trying to think what YOU would order. i’ve actually done pretty well with it. also, my inlaws eat a lot of meat & other stuff i don’t eat, and i never know how to handle that!
that’s awesome! 🙂
stick to your guns girl, they’ll get used to it
Your hot bar eats look yum!
Too funny about the cat’s name. I just got a kitten a month ago and after MUCH debate, named her Sophia.
I named her after Sophia from the Golden Girls. Its one of my favorite shows! 🙂
I’m not a cat person either; never know when they will scratch or bite you out of the blue. You can’t trust them! WH feast looks yummy.
seriously, they always look like they’re about to do something evil
oh god i am a nightmare at the wf hot bar. i liiiiive for it! i only let myself get it for lunch a few times/month bc i can do some serious damage there. cant wait to hear more about these classes!
Mmmmm, nothing beats the whole foods hot bar when you’re starvin’ marvin!
I’m so jealous that I don’t have a Whole Foods near me : (
Your dinner looks so good!
I’m fairly certain I could eat my body weight in marinated mushrooms. I LOVE those things! Good choice!
2 hours?! Whew! Have fun with the class!
Have fun at the class! Sounds really intense but also like a lot of fun. 😀
I love hot bars at WFs! I also get a variety of stuff and demolish it completely. 😉
Whew that 2 hour class your taking makes me tired… but I did run 5 miles this am :+)
a 2-hour zumba sounds SO FUN! i wish i could be there too!
me too, girl!
I’m more of a dog person, because I love their loyalty and their cuddliness. But I’m also extremely allergic to cats.
Zumba all day sounds like a blast! I definitely need to zumba again soon. And I’m the same way about Whole Paycheck. There’s not one in Charlotte so I actually search for it on google maps when going out of town to see if there’s one on the way.
hahah even when it’s totally out of the way, i beg
Glad you are having fun in Atlanta. I bet you will pick up a lot of new and exciting moves at the conference.
i have to ask – were your in-laws insulted that you didn’t eat w/ them? i’m often in the situation where i don’t want to eat what the family is cooking but they get all annoyed that i’m not partaking.
and how much$ was that hot bar extravaganza?? i never get out for under $10…
nope, they know i like to eat different things than they’ll usually eat and we had to stop at whole foods to get the stuff for their dinner anyway. it was only $9!!!! that never happens, usually it’s at least 15
You certainly did attack that hot bar! I have never had Whole Foods hot bar since we don’t have a location convenient to us. I would LOVE to go though since it always looks so good.
My gym just added Zumba to their classes! I’m so excited to try it out! And no lie the instructor’s name is Gina too! haha
I was like, What, she has a cat? I’m a cat hater. There, I said it. I much prefer pups.
I love Whole Foods! If I take my kids, they are all OVER the hot bar…then it ends up being about $30 LOL! Have FUN!!!
Have fun shaking your booty at the zumba party!
2 hrs of booty shaking AND access to a nice WF Hot Bar, AND time with other like-minded fitness ladies and people…oh I hope you’re having a ball…I’m sure you are!!!
xoxo
🙂
Have so much fun! It really sounds like a blast. Nothing like being around other fitness pros!
Aw I love cats! Why do people hate on them so much?? No, they aren’t like dogs in that they get nervous around new people- lots of humans are that way too! 🙂
Sophia is a very regal and beautiful being… 🙂
I TOTALLY sing *AAAAH AAAHH* (cue angels singing) when I drive up to WF… or Ten – 01 (our fave resto), or my spa… or my pedicure place… 🙂
hee.
eating in the beemer again !! 🙂
have a great day !!
yum…my WF never has salmon salad..looks yum :-)..whenever I eat at my boyfriend’s parents house I always bring my own food as I am a “quasitarian” (love that!) 😉 like you.. and they always have heavy meat dishes as the focal point..(or they order pizza or barbecue which I won’t eat..)..i am sometimes self-conscious about bringing my own stuff but I’d rather stick to my guns than eat stuff my body doesn’t want and feel terrible emotionally and physically afterwards…(can’t help but think that his family must think I’m a food snob..:-).)glad to hear your in-laws are open to your eating plan.
I love cats!
What a gorgeous cat!!!!!! xx
I’ve never commented before, BUT, I can’t help but say that (as someone who works with animals) people who “aren’t cat people” just haven’t been around one enough to fall in love! It’s like saying you dislike a type of food you’ve never tried! Unfair discrimination, people – open your hearts to the kitty love <3
Ok, I'm done. Also, I love your blog 🙂
i will say i HELD the cat last night and was petting it. and i liked it. 🙂
I hear angels everytime I go to WF too. 😀 It’s like the Saks Fifth Avenue of grocery stores. <3
amen to that
I only own 2 head bands from Lulu, oh and I use their bag as a lunch bag. I love Lucy, as well as Marika, and Zobha.
I will be attending the mania in Dallas, so looking forward to it.
you will LOVE it. if jani roberts is teaching any of the zumba classes, take at least one– she’s incredible
you should check out the WF in buckhead- it is beyond words!
