Pretty pizza
Pizza and wineโฆ maybe one of the best combos ever.
Hand me a pizookie and it would be my dream meal.
Last night, we poured some wine, set out the supplies and made โhis and hersโ pizzas.
The Pilot rolled with garlic and herb crust, marinara, pepperoni and cheese
while I made mine with gluten-free crust (Bobโs Red Mill that I had in the freezer), marinara, leftover roasted veggies and chicken, and my current condiment love.
Marinated mushrooms! Amazing on salads and wraps, and especially delicious on pizza:
(x2.5ish)
Iโm excited to have leftovers for work lunches this week and breakfast. Over easy egg on pizza = foodgasmical. While we were eating dinner, the Pilot told me that theyโre making an Anchorman 2 <— NSTPLAW (Not Safe to Play Loudly at Work) I had no idea! Thank goodness- my jokes are getting old.
Recent eats:
Started off my #smoothieaday in May (so excited that so many of you are joining in the fun!) with a mixed berry, spinach, almond milk, banana, hemp seed, Sun Warrior smoothie
It was very refreshing and perfect to take with us when we went to pick up the Pilot from work. His car is getting fixed, and then weโre trading it in.
Lunch:
(Turkey, quinoa, lentil, marinated mushroom salad beast with dried-out carrots and spicy triple layer hummus from TJs + tea)
Off to work!
On the morning agenda: teach cardio/weights, assist pool and weight room ๐
See ya later on the fashion page with a fun post and announcement.
Have a great day! <3

Something to watch:
Anyone want to join in a Tucson Dance Walking class?! Just kiddingโฆ but not really.
Something to do: Declare a goal and GO AFTER IT ๐
Under Armour is hosting a challenge to declare a goal and document the journey to achieving it. You can read more details here, but here are some incentives to join in the competition:
At the end of three months, UA will pick 10 competitors that blew them away. These finalists will each win $1,000 worth of UA gear and form a brand advisor group to Under Armour.
The Final Three: From the field of 10, Under Armour will select two women, and the third will be chosen by popular vote online. These three winner will be the new faces of Under Armour.
They will also receive $5000 worth of UA gear, attend a photoshoot, go on quarterly training trips to work out with celeb trainers, meet with a nutritionist and attend Under Armour events throughout the year.
Pretty amazing, huh?
That Trader Joe’s dough has to be one of their very best products – I never get tired of it! Your gluten-free version doesn’t look so bad, either. I could eat pizza for dinner several times a week! ๐
Ooh, those marinated mushrooms sound amazing! I’m always looking for something new to add to my salads – I’ll have to look out for these. I’ve got a smoothie planned for later ๐
I am declaring a goal to get back in shaoe and to do my morning workouts, to eat clean and to watch my protein intake! But all these will start tomorrow, since today is my birthday and I plan on eating steak, ice cream, cake, and donuts at work!! ๐
Happy Birthday! It’s mine as well. Tomorrow starts my return to fitness as well.
happy birthday to both of you!
catalina, hope you enjoyed the steak and desserts! sounds like a good night to me ๐
xoxo
No joke; this really might be my favorite meal ever. I just had pizza on Sunday, and you gave me another craving for it! (I was missing the wine the first time around, maybe that’s my problem?) ; )
The dance/walk looks like SO much fun! I already do that around my house, so why not bring it outside! Also, that pizza looks super delish! Love!
The TJ dough is the best! Next on my agenda is learning to make pizza on the grill ๐
dance-walking just made my day. i think i’ll have to incorporate it into daily life (alongside dance cleaning).
I had the exact same dinner last night! Bob’s gf pizza is the beat and paired with a salad it’s the perfect combo!!!
Mmmm the smoothie looks yummy! I just got back from Australia and the first meal to come out of my kitchen was a green smoothie loaded with kale, spinach, protein powder, cinnamon, a banana, and maca root powder. Feels so good to get greens in my body again! ๐
Am I the only one who is curious about the announcement?! Can’t wait to find out. I think we can vote out pregnancy!
oh no, waiting patiently over here! my vote is that she got picked up for a fitness column in a magazine. ๐
i’ve been waiting for someone else to mention it! from the clue pic i am ALSO thinking a photoshoot for a magazine!
ahah definitely not preg.
I love the his and hers pizza! And yay for leftovers. I’ve never tried that garlic and herb crust, only the whole wheat… maybe I’ll be switching it up soon! The mushrooms look tasty too. Love TJs!
this mornings smoothie: banana, blueberry, oats, sun warrior, a tiiiiiny bit of vanilla, a few chocolate chips, cinnamon and almond milk.
Pizza, wine and cookies sounds like something my boyfriend and I need to do this weekend. ๐
Omg that dance walking video made me laugh. I would totally love to do that if people wouldn’t think I was the crazy person dancing down the street! ;p
We LOVE pizza around here too. I make a mean whole wheat crust too–SOoooo good!
Your pizza has my mouth watering!!! I love doughy pizza, especially when you make it yourself!! We haven’t had homemade pizza in a while, I should do that as a dinner idea soon ๐
I would totally dance walk with you!!! I really hope this becomes the next fitness phenomenon.
Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only person who loves an OE egg on pizza…it’s like an Italian eggs benedict. Heavenly.
avocado is good on pizza also.
Pizza is a staple in our house, too. Only difference is I need cheese!
That’s so funny, my boyfriend and I went to Trader Joe’s this weekend and picked up stuff to make pizza’s ourself. We got the same marinara as you did also. ๐
As for my smoothie this morning – spinach, banana, frozen mango and pineapple, 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein, spoonful of almond butter and almond milk. Normally I don’t add the protein or the almond butter. I liked it at first, but then after about half way I couldn’t handle the almond butter flavor anymore. So I had to toss it. Which made me really sad. ๐
His and hers pizzas are a great idea. That way everyone gets what’s on their must-have list and doesn’t get any of the keep-it-off-mine items ๐
I will be thinking about this Under Armor competition all day. My goals are so vague! A more specific one would be amazing. Hmm…
Definitely onboard for smoothie-a-day! I’m excited!
when you post smoothies, can you give the exact measurements? I never get smoothies right and they taste wrong. I think I need to stop using almond and coconut milk and use water instead. I have whey …but I might go back to real foods only and use only all-natural, plain yogurt instead.
i will definitely post measurements
Dance Walking sounds amazeballs! <3 it!
I am almost positive that the dancing video just made my life. LOVE that guy! I am starting dance walking in Vancouver stat.
I would sooo join a dance-walking class or group. It looks like a lot of fun.
Ha! The dance walking video made my day!
Also, the wine pizza combo is happening tonight for me. You are right, there really is no better combo!
Hi Gina! Would love to see you make your version of the cauliflower crust pizza, so we could have the taste without the calories :).
i’m on it!
Omygosh yes, do it! Do it!
I just joined the UA thingie! SO cool!
I guess I’m entering at day 10, woops! Whatevs, I’m giving it my all!
go after it!! xoxo
Love the Dance Walking video!!! It made me smile after a long day of work ๐ Thanks for sharing!
…for a moment, before i played the video, i actually thought the dance walker guy was THE PILOT! very strong resemblance: perfect ken doll hair, height, lululemon clothes. he has some MAD moves. what fun! i always dance walk with kids in the hall at the schools where i work. unfortunately i don’t look as awesome as him because i am typically in heels and a dress.
omg. that made me laugh so hard. it does look like him!
I thought the same thing! That’s actually what made me click play, because I was confused.
It was a really funny video though, so I’m glad I watched it! You always find these interesting little things, Gina! ๐
I LOVE those TJ’s marinated mushrooms!
I was wondering how many calories on average do you burn from a typical zumba class or what’s the range of calories that you typically burn in zumba? I’m just wondering because I was so surprised at the Bikram yoga #, although it makes sense.
i burn between 400-500 teaching a 45-minute class
when i take class, i’ll burn a little less
Got my polar watch today! I LOVE IT! Thanks for the recommendation…it’s so easy to use!
I got my smoothie in today! Pina Colada!
I want to make an inspiration board, everyone is always talking about having one and maybe its time for me to stop being lazy and actually make one.
I am not a pizza fan at all. It always sounds so good but after two bits I’m done ๐ I do love wine though!
We always do ‘his’ and ‘hers’ pizza too. Because ‘his’ is always OTT with the cheese, meat.. mm.. cheese, meat and… cheese and meat? ๐
Woooahhhhh, dance walking! Oh yeah, I would do that. I mean, in a group, not by myself..
All your meals look so delicious and thank you for sharing. i usually make my salads like yours when i have a few items in the ice box. That video was so funny.
I have a jar of marinated mushrooms that came in a gift basket, and have been really wary of trying them. For some reason, I didn’t think I would like the texture, but you made them seem so yummy! Opening it tomorrow ๐
i hope you like them! so good on salads
We have pizza here every Friday. We have been doing it for almost 6 years now. The contest looks fun. I would love to participate but it involves FB. I deleted my account and now get so much more done.
i admire your strength
(as i upload a pic for fb. haha)
seriously, i don’t think anything is better than pizza and wine. well, except homemade pizza.
i watched a clip for a movie called “ted” at work this week – it’s mark wahlberg and a stuffed bear as his roommate. but it’s from the people behind family guy… so seriously, seriously, not ok for work. i laughed so hard i choked on a cookie.
Love pizza almost more than anything… ! Pizza and green juice – though maybe not together ๐
In your opinion, which is a better measure of calorie burn – the elliptical today said 506 calories, and the fitbit I was wearing said only 300… which is quite a difference!
fitbit for sure- the elliptical just gives a general number
Good lord, thank god it’s still morning here because those pizza/wine pictures look amazing. I’m going to take a big gulp of my black tea and focus instead on your Sun Warrior smoothie!
First of all…I think you are fabulous. You were my first blog to follow and I absolutely love it still!
Second, your bowls of salads, smoothies, oatmeal always look amazing to me…but I wonder how big that white bowl with the handles is? Can you give me an idea. I always think your portions look big (and then I go make BIG portions) and I’m wondering if I’m making too much ๐ HAHA.
I also love that bowl…where did you get it?
Stephanie
thank you so much, stephanie!
the white bowl is like a serving bowl for rice or another grain- it’s from kohl’s and is the food network collection. it’s the perfect size for a giant salad
xoxo
I had pizza and wine last night, too! ๐ I actually took a group exercise class with some girlfriends, then we went to this place that has great happy hour specials: $5 for a glass of wine and $3 for a personal pizza! Mmm!
whoooaaaa! my kinda place
That lunch looks delicious! I need to get me some of those mushrooms. Oh and I bought that same bowl. Love it.
Thanks for sharing the information about the UA contest, I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this! I think I’ll ask my friend to join with me. Your pizza looks nothing short of foodgasmic. How is the GF Bob’s Red Mill? Thanks for sharing!
it’s really good! more spongy than regular pizza dough, but it does the trick
I want to dance walk around NYC
That guys moves are insane. No backbone…I love it. Bold.
I’m on a mushrooms kick too at the moment. I cannot get enough.
