More of a good thing
Hey! How are you guys?? I’m doing bueno over here. So much laundry and boo for unpacking! The only woes of vacation 😉
I karate-kicked my inbox for a while
And had a breakfast I haven’t had in far too long… cereal!
Fiberlicious.
That is my all-time favorite cereal from Trader Joe’s.. it’s so good with almond milk, banana and goji berries
I had two servings, since they’re only 80 cals each.
With an egg white puff covered in red chili flakes:
Delish.
I started on the laundry pile, heated up the yoga room (it’s waiting for me!), did some work on the computer, and then had a snack.
A glorious sludge with almond milk, Sun Warrior protein (my tub is almost empty!) and spirulina.
A few of ya’ll asked what kind of Spirulina I use….
It’s Earthrise (but I’m sure many brands are fine) and I picked it up when I was in OKC for culinary school
I also take a probiotic since I don’t consume very much dairy
And a Trader Joe’s prenatal – I like these better than the ones the base gave me
It’s a good idea to take prenatals 6 months to a year before you plan to, you know 😉 *Always check with a doc before adding supplements into your diet. Getting too much of something can be as harmful as getting too little, so it’s always good to make sure.
Well I’m off to walk little Bella –Viesa is still at the kennel and the pilot is going to pick her up on his way home- practice yoga, then go to the gym for my training appointments.
I’m making red quinoa and shrimp for dinner 😀
See you tonight!
xoxo,
Gina

Oh I didn’t know you should start taking prenatal vitamins early! Thanks for the info!!!!
I remember a long time ago, someone telling me to take spirillina… maybe i should check it out again!!
Yay for prenatal vitamins you and the pilot will make cute babies I bet!! 🙂
prenatal vitamins early? thats cool.
So that means theres going to be another one of you or the pilot running around in the somewhat nearer future?!!
mayhaps 😉
That is my fave TJs cereal, too! Also love Twigs, Flakes and Clusters!
the twigs, flakes and clusters is AMAZING!
I take spriluna too!
Just did Yoga myself – but no heated room involved! Was still awesome!!!
Have a great day!
heheh I love baby talk 🙂
Hey pretty lady!
Ohmigosh I am so excited to hear that you have kinds in your future… even if it’s a while away. How cool of a mom will you be?!?! (Answer: the coolest!)
thank you lovely 😀
xoxo
Don’t know when its gonna happen for ya, but you and the pilot are gonna have freakishly attractive children. I mean, look at you two!
hahaah! thank you so much 😀
your future kiddos are lucky to have a mommy who is looking out for them before they’re ever here 🙂
I’m stealing your heated yoga room idea soon…we have a guest room that’s just screaming for something to be done in it!
Hey there! That’s exciting news that you’ll be “you know :)” in the next six months to a year! I’m moving in with my boyfriend this summer, but it’s a start!
Also, I just wanted to let you know that your blog has inspired me to start my own (http://eatinggreenstayinglean.blogspot.com/)…hopefully it’ll lead to me being more accountable for what I”m eating, how much I’m exercising, and I’ll learn some things along the way.
Thanks again! Can’t wait for the spring workout on the 18th!
<3
hey jenna!
thank you so much! i can’t wait to check out your blog 😀
Is red quinoa more nutritious than white? I just got on the quinoa train, and I am loving the ride. I sub it in for oatmeal in the morning. Yum time.
i don’t think so- i’ve never tried red quinoa, and usually just have the regular one. i think they’re equal 😀
Question – in your opinion, what is the best-tasting protein powder to use? I generally use it either mixed in shakes (sludges) or oatmeal (and b’fast cookies!).
best tasting: designer whey
most nutritious: nutribiotic or sun warrior
Oooh, how exciting to hear you’re *beginning* to think about – you know! I can totally see you being one spectack mom 🙂
Thanks for spirulina rec!
Yay for BABIES! 🙂
Hey gina!!
Where do you buy your gogi berries? Are they dried berries? I’m def gonna try that cereal combo cause I LOVE the one other one you recommended (Apple, kashi, cinnamon, and almond milk) 🙂
WARNING… super lame question coming your way!! haha
your egg white PUFFS always look so yummy… how do you make them a PUFF ??
my egg skills are subpar, no question about it!
just spray a glass bowl with nonstick spray, add the egg (or egg whites) and microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half. super easy!
I’m a new-ish reader…you are so inspiring! It seems like you really know how to balance healthy eats with treats; your blog is so fun to read! Question…how do you make your egg white puffs? Any special cooking technique or just like an omelette?
hi erin!
welcome to my little blog 😀
they’re super easy to make- just spray a glass bowl with nonstick spray, add the egg (or egg whites) and microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half.
Yay for babies! You two will be the coolest parents of the block!
You’ve probably answered this before but how do you make those super cute egg puffs??
just spray a glass bowl with nonstick spray, add the egg (or egg whites) and microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half
You sure caught my attention with the prenatal vitamins!!! Baby making is fun stuff, no? 😉
Yay for TJ’s cereal! I also love the organic high fiber o’s.
I hope this isn’t too personal (if it is please don’t feel bad for not responding!) Do you have any problems with the iron in your prenatals? I talked to my Dr. about it (because I was having some pretty bad constipation despite my super-clean diet and tons of water), and he recommended that I take Super B-Complex vitamins instead. He said they do the same thing for you minus the iron. My husband and I have been married for almost five years, so babies are not too far away (oh that’s a happy/scary/exciting thought!), but I don’t know if I’ll have to go back to the iron once we do get to that point. I heard pregnancy can be constipating enough, haha.
haha i’ve had no prob with pre-natals. i also eat a ridiculous amount of fruits and veggies (fiber) though 😉
Hi 🙂 I’m new to reading your blog and the baby making part caught my eye 😀 Well, in addition to your balanced approach to living and mention of Valdosta (I live in GA). Hubs & I will be working on baby #2 sometime this year so I love to hear about others either with families or looking to start one. It’s so rewarding! Have a great day!
OMG – reading your little hint by writing about prenatal vitamins just made me smile sooo much right now. WOW! I really hope that I can post something about prenatal vitamins by the end of next year. – You know, I read your blog for more than 1 year – and this is the first time I comment on your posts 🙂
are you guys planning to conceive sometime soon!?? If you are supposed to take these 6 months to a year before trying to have a baby then I need to start popping these things too! only problem is that multi vitamins make me literally sick. I get a stomach ache every time I take them. any tips on preventing that?
Where did you buy the glass straw?
glass dharma 😀 check out their website- i think you can order them online
I love your flower dish! Your egg puff looks so cute on there 🙂
I love TJ’s high fiber cereal! And I’m having shrimp tonight for dinner too 🙂 Enjoy the vaca!
I have that same spirulina in tablet form. I also still take prenatals, even though I’m done on the kid front. I just find they are really balanced wonderful vitamins for all women!
Oh my goodness! Prenatal vitamins! This is so exciting! I don’t want to get ahead of myself but… totally agree with everyone when they say what an amazing mama you’re gunna be!
Must try TJ’s cereal. Looks just like something i would love!
I take those same prenatals…you know…just in case…
*secretly hoping for a blogworld pregnancy buddy if and when “just in case” becomes reality*
Okay…I just caught up w/ your blog and BURST out laughing to lots of weird looks at work at the thought of people being like…”umm you’re eating a lot. you must be preggo.”
Did I remember hearing about a Winter Shape Up in the works? I know it takes lots of time for you to create, but I’m definitely looking forward to it!
Thanks for remembering about the spirulina. I almost bought that kind but got a different less expensive one that still stretched my budget, I hope its still good though :/
post that dinner asap so I can make it tonight too 🙂
Red quinoa?! Why haven’t I ever seen that? Sounds glorious- I’m also a fan of Bhutanese red rice!
Looks like you had a good trip! We have tons of laundry to as well, not fun! Thanks for your support with our marathon 🙂 Sure wish we got to see you in Orlando, hopefully another time! Red quinoa is sooo good!
Hey fitnessista,
Just found your blog (You cant hind from me lol). Would love to subscribe… but when I click on the ‘Subscribe’ link, it just takes me back to the homepage 🙁
Any suggestions?
Thank you xoxo
that’s so weird- someone else had that problem earlier, too but when i clicked it, it worked. what web browser do you use??
I have this cereal in my pantry waiting to be opened. Now I can’t wait to try it! 🙂
you will LOVE it! 😀
Gina,
next time you are at trader joes you HAVE to try their soy and flax clusters cereal… its sooooo good. i haven’t tried this kind before, but ive also tried their high fiber cereal w/ dried cranberries and walnuts and it’s yum too 😀
yum! good to know, thanks! 😀
Cereal looks good!
What a cute egg white puff! I was going to ask you how you made it, but saw you already answered. Sounds easy so I may have to try.
I LOOOVE ‘Give it Up to Me’ – you have good taste in music 😉
Hi!
I was wondering how you do your egg puffs?
microwave in a glass bowl sprayed with olive oil for about a minute and a half
