I Need a Moment
Hey guys! How are ya?? Hope your day has been lovely so far <3
Last night, we went to a cocktail reception and got to watch a parade through the pool area.
They even let us wear some of their festive garb 🙂
The pilot and I grabbed a drink and laid in the cabana while waiting for T-bone and Jeni to meet us for dinner.
We went to the usual spot with the Mediterranean buffet, my favorite bread and sundried tomato pesto.
THEY HAD GOAT CHEESE. This whole time!!! I don’t prefer to randomly taste cheeses hoping for goat, but Jeni got a piece and said “I can’t believe they had goat cheese and you didn’t know about it.” So I stocked up 😀
Also got the scallops and veg:
And shared this massive dessert plate with the pilot:
I had half the apple crumble, a piece of the cake, half of each cookie and half of the phyllo creation. SO GOOD.
We went down to the pub to hang out and called it a night 😀 It was so fun to chill with some familiar faces.
This morning, we got up to do Month 2 Day 2 of Insanity. The pilot was a CHAMP and did the hour plyo workout with me! We cursed at Shaun T. and sweated like monkeys together 😉 I felt maxed out and fatigued the entire time (and my booty is SORE from yesterday!), but it goes to show ya that sometimes when you think you’re spent, you have more to give.
When it was over, I chugged this chocolate almond milk:
and asked the pilot to take me to bfast.
His response: “I need a moment.”
Hahah. He said he felt like Shaun T. beat him in a race.
We’re off to bfast and then to the beach with Jeni and T-bone for a couple of hours before we leave to the airport. See ya from Miami with a full review of where we stayed for our week in paradise 😀
Things I’m looking forward to when we get back:
-Training clients again
-Teaching Zumba
-Seeing the puppers!!!
-Crackalackin on the creative and motivational spark that came back while I was here (more on that to come)
-Summer Shape Up 2010!
-Almond butter, perfect protein pancakes, bfast cookies, chocolate cherry bombs
-Our casa
See ya in Miami!
xoxo,
G

I love the festive garb! Happy y’all had an awesome time! 🙂
ahhh i cant believe the trip is over!! hope you had such a blast! it seems like youre nice and relaxed for the trip home, not at all how i would be!
Vacations are the best especially when you are in PARDISE like you are, but I’m always ready and happy to get back home. I miss my animals and kitchen and somewhat the routine that is day to day life. Have a great last day on the beach!
I thought the title of this post was referring to needing a moment to part ways with the Bahamas 🙂 You’ve had such a relaxing vacation…I hope your flight goes smoothly and you arrive safe ‘n’ sound!
So glad you had a great time!! I’m excited to hear about your creative and motivational spark! Aaahh a change of scenery is always so good!
love that picture of you and the pilot at the end! Sounds like you guys had a blast!
Sounds like you had a soul filling vacation….Can’t wait to hear all about the creative and motivational spark.
Sounds like an awesome time! I am curious to find out where you stayed.
Isn’t travelling AWESOME for lighting the creative and motivational spark? My husband and I are both entrepreneurs and find that trips work wonders in terms of creativity!
Glad to hear you had an awesome time – and found goat cheese in time before you left!!
Your vacation looks like complete paradise!!! Did you explain why you and your pilot got professional photos taken? They came out great!
thanks girl! the resort offers the service for free, and if you like the photos you can purchase image packages on cd. pretty sweet!
Hi there!
I love your blog!!! I write at amylayneparadigm.com and would love to exchange links with you! I have added your link. Let me know what you think!

I cannot wait to hear where you stayed, looks amazing!
what an amazing honeymoon!! 🙂 it looks absolutely perfect!
where did you get that adorable red dress? VS?
it’s from guess 🙂
Looks like such a fun vacation. Still jealous here. Have a safe flight back!
Your vacation looks like a blast. I bet it is bittersweet to go back to GA. The picture of you and the pilot is sexy. It looks like you could have taken it out of a magazine. 🙂
Eep I finishing up week 4 of Month 1 and I am mega nervous for Month 2 of Insanity!!! I think it’s funny that my hubbie can bench x amount of pounds and played college football but Insanity kicks. his. booty. 🙂
YES! same for my pilot- he can do tons of pushups, but make him run and jump in between and it’s a different story 🙂
I forgot to add…if I had to guess, I would put money on it that you stayed at a Sandals resort. Am I right? Just from your descriptions over the past few days it sounds just like our honeymoon at the Sandals in St. Lucia.
we definitely stayed at a sandals resort 🙂 did you like st. lucia?? we’ve heard amazing things of it and are thinking of going to that one next year
You and the pilot are the most beautiful couple I think I’ve ever seen. Brad and Angelina have got nothing on you guys!
And, I want that red dress…that is all. 🙂
Gina, it was so awesome of you to share your vacay with us. You could be a travel writer! Can’t wait to hear where you stayed… I may need to plan a Bahamian getaway with my honey!
Glad you enjoyed yourself… and I love that last pic of you and the Pilot walking on the beach!!! It’s a framer! 🙂
It sure looks like you two had a wonderful time and took full advantage of the beauty there and the good food. I almost feel as if I got to experience a bit of the tropics . . . almost, hee, hee. Please have a safe trip back and give your puppies lots of love as I’m sure they really missed you – you are gonna get mauled!

this post reminds me of Spanglish the movie in so many ways. (Mostly the needing a moment thing) Have you seen that movie?
i LOVE that movie! it’s been forever since i’ve seen it though
that is another stunning picture of you two. and i also love the one from the beach haha 😛
Have a safe trip back! Your vacation looked amazing!
Looks like you’ve had an amazing time! I love the photo of you and the pilot in the festival clothes!
Wow, that last pic of you and the pilot is awesome! You both look happy and perfectly relaxed. They should put that photo on the resort brochure, it would make people drop everything and head to the Bahamas. LOL!
Thanks for sharing another picture of you two taken by the photographer!! I hope to see some more in the future? Love them 😀 I can’t believe you do your workout everyday!!! I’m always lazy during the holidays 🙁 I do nothing…or nearly 😀 Have a safe trip back home 🙂
I love the photos of you– you look so gorgeous and glowing! You and the pilot are really the most beautiful couple.
Ooooh goat cheese…scallops…dessert….my favorites!! So glad you got to see some familiar faces!
gorgeous photos- you two look so happy! does the pilot have a brother? just kidding (sort of).
I’m so glad that you guys have had an amazing honeymoon! Can’t wait to hear about all the usual shenanigans!
Just a side note- I think the pilot might need a new hairstyle/cut
Looks awesome! I’m jealous 🙂
The sundried tomato pesto sounds super tasty!! You both look like you are having a blast. Have a safe trip home!
Love that last pic of you and the pilot 🙂 Have a safe trip home!!

Looks like you guys had an incredible week! Thank you for sharing your photos with us. Can’t wait for the recap and the big reveal of the ‘mystery’ resort 😀
Have a safe trip back!
Hehe, I love the parade garb that you tried on there! Too cute. And that last pic of you and the pilot is gorgeous! Love it.
your photos make me want to go to an island! looks like so much fun- especially with the man you love!
you’re amazing for keeping up with your fitness routine!
I think it is great that you haven’t disclosed every sip of alcohol you’ve drank at this resort, or what type, or how many…I never like the judging or guilt that sometimes surrounds blogs when bloggers disclose exactly what kind and how many drinks they consume- fun is different for everyone, right?
But, that said, I sometimes get in a rut with drinks so I like to know other people’s favorites- what is your go-to drink on this vacation when you are lying on the beach or at the pool?
thanks girl. i didn’t really think it was necessary, either.
my favorite on this trip was one that a bartender shaun made- it was his special. i have no clue what was in it, but it was fruity and amazing. usually i prefer vokda, club soda and a splash of cranberry though 🙂
