-Movie with nana

Larry Crowne was super cute- it was nice to go see a warm fuzzy movie ๐Ÿ™‚

Since I was so full from the bucket of popcorn we shared, dinner was light: miso soup and house salad with ginger dressing from Sakura.

This morning, I made a quick bowl of banana protein oats:

oats

-1/2 C GF oats

-1 mashed banana

-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior (<โ€” promo early next week!!)

-cinnamon

-blob of almond butter

and am about to get my stuff ready for work.

Or in the case of Zumba: werk. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I love your clothes for zumba! Especially the top. You make me want to try zumba! Which is honestly something I didnโ€™t think I would say ๐Ÿ˜›

    World Market is the best for furniture. We got our bed there, a pull out sofa for our guest room and our dining room table there. LOVE!

    Iโ€™m so excited for you and Tom to move in your new house. ahhh!!

    We still need to catch up soon โ€“ maybe a gchat sess is in order. ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Shayla @ The Good Life on July 23, 2011 at 10:46 am

  6. Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine on July 23, 2011 at 11:05 am

    Have fun Zumba-ing, Gina! Love the outfit!

  7. Destini on July 23, 2011 at 11:12 am

    Your posts always make me giggle and are an always welcome addition to my morning routines. I really wish I could find Sun Warrior here(Winnipeg, Canada) but never can. I may see if I can get some in the States when i head up in a few weeks.

    Have a great workout ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Amber @ Chicken and Chocolate on July 23, 2011 at 11:14 am

    Iโ€™m watching a Zumba infomercial and drinking iced coffeeโ€ฆ Does that count for anything? lol

  9. Emma @ Microcosm of Life on July 23, 2011 at 11:18 am

    Oh no, vampires stole your blood! World Market is mah faaave. ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Kilee on July 23, 2011 at 11:24 am

    How exciting about the new furniture! It sounds like you had a great day yesterday ๐Ÿ™‚
    Yesterday I made the mistake of putting a whole scoop on sun warrior into my oatmeal instead of just a half. Letโ€™s just say it tasted like a pink eraser. Thatโ€™s what I get for making my oatmeal before my coffee!
    Your Zumba outfit looks super cute today.
    Have a great day day!!!

  11. Christine @ BookishlyB on July 23, 2011 at 11:52 am

    Is it wrong that one of the main reasons I want to try zumba is because the pants look so comfy? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  12. Allison @ Food for Healing on July 23, 2011 at 11:52 am

    iโ€™m gettin back into zumba this week! 2 times a week. woohoo

  13. Mallory on July 23, 2011 at 12:04 pm

    Um, yeah, Iโ€™ve listened to that cover about, oh you know, 20 times in a row. Itโ€™s so good! Thanks for posting!

  14. Jenna on July 23, 2011 at 12:11 pm

    That video. I canโ€™t evenโ€ฆ that was so AMAZING! My mouth was hanging open in awe pretty much the entire time!

  15. Claire @ Un Bello Aperitivo on July 23, 2011 at 12:19 pm

    Iโ€™m so impressed by that kid! WOW! Even in the first few seconds I was totally thinking about how talented he was.

  16. Joelle (On A Pink Typewriter) on July 23, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    Those oats look yummy!! Iโ€™m interested in trying protein powder for the first time to whip up some protein smoothies, so iโ€™m excited a promo is just around the corner.. that stuff is pricey!

    I went to a movie last night with my mama- โ€˜Friends With Benefits.โ€™ It was so funny- waaaaaay better than I had anticipated!

    • Lindsay on July 23, 2011 at 1:18 pm

      I saw that movie last night too! I love Justin and mila together. Started off my morning with a 45 mile bike ride. It was pretty warm by the end. Love the video Gina. It made me smile.

  17. Bea on July 23, 2011 at 12:44 pm

    zumba is a blast and a killer workout too. Have a great class and lovely weekend.

  18. Mindy on July 23, 2011 at 1:04 pm

    Canโ€™t wait to see your new house pics!

    And thanks in advance for the SW promo!!! I am almost to the end of mine! Have you ever tried Lifeโ€™s Basics plant protein in chocolate? Itโ€™s made from pea, hemp, rice and chia and the choc flavor pluse a banana plus almond milk is super yummmmmy!!!

  19. Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews on July 23, 2011 at 1:44 pm

    Looks like a very productive day! I love World Market.

  20. Nicole on July 23, 2011 at 2:13 pm

    I love furniture shopping!! Canโ€™t wait to see the goods!

  21. Colleen on July 23, 2011 at 2:14 pm

    Just FYI โ€“ Iโ€™m not sure how sensitive you are to gluten, but most restaurants that Iโ€™ve asked use soy sauce (which most always has wheat in Japanese restaurants) in that delicious ginger dressing. I love it dearly but have to pass because I have celiac disease! Congrats on the house!

  22. Heather @ Ooops I Blogged The Toilet on July 23, 2011 at 2:21 pm

    I feel ya on the whole needle/blood thing. I had a traumatizing experience where a nurse was DIGGING in my arm with a needle trying to find a vein. I was never the same. ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance on July 23, 2011 at 2:26 pm

    Yey for getting house keys! Yey for zumba! ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. Yaara on July 23, 2011 at 2:30 pm

    Love!! I want to download this on my ipod. Itโ€™s funny Iโ€™ve lately become obsessed with this song.

  25. Katie on July 23, 2011 at 2:50 pm

    Oh Gina, I feel your pain on the blood work, I always feel sick when they take mine, I turn colors and passed out last time : p

    World market rocks! Glad u guys found some great stuff! Have a good weekend!!

  26. Kathi on July 23, 2011 at 3:35 pm

    Thanks for sharing the music! I loved it!

  27. Amy on July 23, 2011 at 3:49 pm

    Oh man. That violin cover is outstanding. <3

  28. Errign on July 23, 2011 at 3:52 pm

    Why oh why is ginger dressing so delicious?! haha

  29. Lauren on July 23, 2011 at 3:54 pm

    this is random, and iโ€™m sure youโ€™ve covered this before, but could you briefly explain the whey vs. soy vs. vegan protein powder debate? in moderation, are whey or soy powders fine to use? i just bought a few samples of an all natural, 100% whey isolate, so iโ€™m just curious! ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather on July 23, 2011 at 4:15 pm

    Great reward for being tough! Hope zumba is a blast! The pink is so much fun ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga on July 23, 2011 at 4:31 pm

    Sorry you were blood robbed. Ugh! Pregnancy is one of those times I swear, I was always getting a blood draw for something or the otherโ€ฆnot fun!

    Congrats on getting your keys on Monday!!!!!!!!

    And whoa, thatโ€™s a major score at World Market! Happy for you!!!

    And the Zumba clothes. Ok so those purple pants. I want those!!! Where can I buy them??

    ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. AJ on July 23, 2011 at 6:23 pm

    Hi Gina,
    Love you blog. I was wondering if you had tried TheGymBox,com? I would love to know what you think of the workouts. I just discovered it, I havenโ€™t joined but it looks like it would be good for travel or for when you have to stay at home to workout.

    • Fitnessista on July 23, 2011 at 9:10 pm

      i havenโ€™t! will have to look into that

  33. Stephanie @cookinfanatic on July 23, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    That video is so awesome! Thanks for sharing!

  34. kristi (sweet cheeks) on July 23, 2011 at 7:20 pm

    sounds like the needles were worth it, eh? ๐Ÿ™‚ I always feel so relieved afterwards!

  35. Lisa on July 23, 2011 at 8:11 pm

    This guy is mesmerizing; I will show my son since he plays. On another note, I found Kerrygold garlic & herb butter at publix; too good for words. Canโ€™t wait for you to unpack the pod into your new house. Let the nesting begin!!

    • Fitnessista on July 23, 2011 at 9:09 pm

      kerrygold is insane.
      yes!!! i canโ€™t wait!

  36. Ali @ urbanfruitbat on July 23, 2011 at 11:17 pm

    Lovely tank, and awesome video! Happy Saturday to you to lady! I hope your blood supply is ok now.

  37. Danielle (Shrinking and Studying) on July 23, 2011 at 11:35 pm

    Ever since my boyfriend dragged me to donate blood, Iโ€™m slowly getting used to the needle thing. I used to be terrified of them! I even went to donate blood by myself last time!

    Loved that video, totally brightened my day a little bit! ๐Ÿ™‚ I hope you are having a great weekend lady!

  38. Amanda on July 24, 2011 at 12:29 am

    Move in day is coming!!! YAAAAY!!!!

    Larry Crowne looks adorable & fun, I must go see it!

  39. Yolie @ Practising Wellness on July 24, 2011 at 9:15 am

    Iโ€™m going to my first zumba class this week and I am so excited! Totally inspired to try it out because of you and my Mum, who goes three times a week and says it makes her feel FANTASTIC! ๐Ÿ™‚ That banana protein oats bowl looks deliciousโ€ฆI think the Vanilla Sun Warrior is so so goodโ€ฆmy favourite thing in oats of cereal ever. You must be so stoked to move into your own placeโ€ฆitโ€™s happening so soon! ๐Ÿ˜€ xyx
