Pilot’s Day Off
Hey! Happy Monday <3 Hope your week is off to a great start.
I’m a little later than normal with today’s morning post, but the Pilot took the day off work, so we’ve been hanging out. He has a ton of leave saved up (92 days, some of which he’ll lose if he doesn’t use), so he figured he’d take a long weekend and use a day of leave. I’m a fan of that 🙂
He went into work to take care of some paperwork for an hour, so I hit up the base gym.
Did some cardio,
got my little station set up
and did the Ferocious Arm Workout I posted last week. Instead of doing chest presses on my back, I did them angled with the stability ball, and also used the stability ball under my shins for the push-ups – otherwise my belly would touch the floor.
Topped it off with 25 right leg lunges, 50 squats and 25 left leg lunges, it was a great little workout.
Breakfast was courtesy of the Pilot, who makes way better omelets than I do 😉
Toast with jelly, along with an amazing omelet:
-1 egg + 2 egg whites
-almond milk – he always adds this to eggs and it makes them so much fluffier
-goat cheese
-mustard
-spinach
-dehydrated tomatoes
I had some local orange tomatoes that were on their last leg, so instead of letting them die a slow death, yesterday I popped them into the dehydrator with some oregano, garlic and sea salt.
They came out rather nicely.
I also finished the Naked juice we shared on the way home from base:
Wish away, little Bell.
We actually don’t have a ton planned for today, but I have some work stuff to get done. I’m sure the Pilot will have no prob relaxing in the meantime 🙂
Enjoy your Monday and I’ll see ya later today <3
xoxo

Have a great day with your Pilot Gina! 🙂
Have a great day with the pilot! 🙂
Enjoy the day off with your man!
The orange baby tomatos are so cute! I hope the Pilot enjoys his day off – and I hope you get to do some relaxing too!
“and also used the stability ball under my shins for the push-ups – otherwise my belly would touch the floor.”
you are so unbelievably cute! i’m reading your blog from France this semester, it’s making me salivate for gf goodies but it’s also a lot harder to find a gym with weights and machines, so your workouts are amazing for me! merci 🙂
so glad they’re helping!
hope you’re having a blast in france 🙂
thank you! it’s quite the place, truly. it’s wonderful to be able to walk everywhere though, such a blessing! and if you’re looking for boots, i’d say come here. i die a little every time i walk by the million shoe stores and can’t go in!
Relaxing on a Monday is the best!! Enjoy your day! 😀
i love the almond milk trick with eggs… i definitely notice a change in fluffiness 🙂 so nice you have the pilot around for a bonus day!
What a lovely day with your pilot.
I LOVE your quotes, keep ’em coming! 🙂
That is a perfect looking omelet. Have a good day. 🙂
I really like that quote! fits perfectly for what I’ve been going through lately, thanks for sharing!
I love that quote! It is something I definitely need to remind myself of more. Enjoy your day:)
I am contemplating getting a food dehydrater…do you recommend any specific brand/type/etc?
Almond milk in eggs?! Never thought of that! Definitely trying! (: Enjoy the Pilot’s day off!
nothing wrong with a little downtime together, enjoy it while its still quiet with no baby around 😛
You gotta love a man that can cook! Enjoy your day with him! <3
I’m going to try to make a version of that omelet. the addition of goat cheese sounds heavenly.
And isn’t it the best when they can use up leave? 🙂
Aw, that’s great that your man has the day off! Enjoy your time together :).
Hey Gina,
JW if you could do another post on how you have adapted your eating habits and living with your H. I’m a nutritionist and love all foods that are healthy, esp vegetables. My H will hardly touch anything green and loves anything that will clog your arteries. I’m having a hard time cooking for us both without making 2 separate meals.
i haven’t, but many times i do end up having to separate our meals. it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it
Oh those little tomatoes look great! I never think to use my dehyd for things like that. I always just use the oven. But I love sun dried tomatoes and the chewier factor. I need to remember this one 🙂
Glad you and The Pilot had some quality time together…yay for extra days off!
I had dehydrated tomatoes in a salad at a restaurant once and I loved them!
Enjoy your day off with the Pilot! 🙂
I love the end of the fiscal year when hubbies have to burn leave days. 🙂 Mine’s doing the same tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day. 🙂
thanks- enjoy your day with your hubby tomorrow!
Glad you got to spend some time with your hubby! Enjoy it 🙂
I LOVE naked juice so much. Green machine is my favorite.
i picked up a green machine, too- love that flavor! i heard there’s a blueberry one that’s really good too?
Hooray for yo man getting to take the day off with you. So nice. <3
I love your quotes, Gina. They are always so inspiring and ring true in my heart!
Stay lovely,
Heather
i’m so glad you like them!
aw, bella is so funny in the last picture, haha.
Gina,
I am new to your blog, and have been enjoying your posts very much. I love to exercise and eat healthy, and love the inspirations, new ideas, and pictures you post. Thanks!!
Mary
thank you, mary! welcome to the little blog 🙂
Haha, I totally used to eat my eggs with mustard all the time! Those tomatoes look lovely too!
Hey Gina! I just wanted to stop in and say Hi! and tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. I’ve been reading it for about a year now and your posts are always a joy to read. Your life seems very real, down to earth, and just so much fun! You’re an inspiration to maintain a healthy lifestyle while having fun and living life! Thanks for writing 🙂
That sounds like a wonderful workout, Gina! 🙂 Seriously, it’s awesome how fit you are keeping while carry your baby – so inspirational! I love it when you post weights workouts as it gives me (a relative newbie with weight training) loads of ideas. Your omlette and dehydrated tomatoes look gorgeous – what a fantastic kitchen gadget the dehydrator is! I’m commenting a bit late, but hope you had an amazing day with the Pilot! <3 xyx
Did you like the Alexia sweet potato puffs?
Love how Bella is in the background wishing and hoping 🙂
First thing I thought of at the beginning of the post…use it or lose it haha. Glad he used it….the day off 😛
me too!
