Road trippin’
Hey everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday! I LOVED your insightful comments on the Whole Foods discount policy- leave it to ya’ll to be such a wonderful group of intelligent and classy ladies <3
We’re road-trippin’ it to Orlando:
(Pilot = seksi, me = pale)
Earlier this morning, I munched a glorious Fitnessista bfast cookie before hitting up the gym with Ashley
This little gem had:
-1/2 C oats
-1 tiny banana
-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior vanilla
-1 heaping T almond butter
-splash of almond milk
-cinnamon, Stevia and maca
-Goji berries and cacao nibs
Ahhhhmazing 😀
Ashley and I did an hour of biceps, triceps and abs, which I followed with 30 breezy minutes on the elliptical with the new issue of Self. My legs are SORE from yesterday’s weight sesh and 6-miler with Meara, but it felt really good to shake them out.
Some recent eats:
My favorite green juice (apple, pear, cucumber, spinach, parsley and lemon, with spirulina stirred in)
A raw cacao crunchy cookie: 
Recipe to come… they came out AMAZING 😀
A bowl of organic veggies (carrot, broccoli and cauliflower with sea salt and red pepper flakes) while I packed up food supplies for the weekend:
(I always like to pack bars and fruit as well as protein, oats, HEED powder (for long runs) and vitamins in little baggies)
Unpictured roadtrip snacks:
-Larabar (PB&J)
-Apple
I feel like a bad road trip buddy because I spent two-thirds of our car ride fast asleep, mouth open (hot, right?) with Bella on my lap. Sorry pilot 😉
We’re almost to my aunt’s house, but I’ll see you tomorrow after two Zumba classes. I can’t wait!
Have a wonderful night <3

Yay! Have fun in Orlando 😀 That breakfast cookie sounds phemon!
Woops…I mean phenom 🙂
Hey Gina, I asked this on the last post but it was probably lost in the sea of comments. I’ve been doing a lot of research on body recomposition. In order to burn fat/build muscle, do you think it is necessary to cut your carbohydrate intake? Most plans I’ve read suggest no more than 30% of calories should come from carbohydrates in order to achieve an optimal level of fat burning/muscle building. What are your experiences and thoughts on this?
hey ashley,
i disagree.. it’s all about what works best for you! since my activity level is so high, i need more carbs to maintain my muscle. i don’t keep track any more, but when i did, i found that i did best on about 60% carbs. just play around with some ratios and see what works best for your body and activity level.
take care <3
We’re all pale these days…summah time is comin’ soon (I say that and it’s supposed to snow 6-10 inches tonight….in NC of all places).
Can’t wait for that recipe!!! Have a great trip!
enjoy the trip! how fun 🙂
You constantly inspire me with your health!!
Just wanted to let you know 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Love a good road trip! I always pack tons of bars and fruit too 🙂
Hey Gina,
Have fun in sunny Florida! It’s a cold SNOWY day here in TN, so booooo for that. Anyways, I finally found millet bread and I am officially a fan. Love it!
Take care.
Hey Gina!! Have a great trip and a wonderful weekend with your family. We are stuck inside this weekend, i tried shoveling the snow in my driveway and it almost came up to my knees(and I have pretty long legs). Be safe and have a wonderful weekend. Bye!!
Hi Gina,
Have a safe trip. I just wanted to say I love your blog. I have some chia seeds,Goji berries and cacao nibs being delivered to me this week! I am so excited!!
I am also excited to be “officially” starting the Winter Shape Up this week. I know I am behind by 2 weeks but I am looking forward to it.
Plus, my birthday is in 14 days so I need to look good…right 🙂
Gina, I must say, your husband is a spitting image of my boyfriend who I refer to as “The Ninja”…yes, he may or may not kill people for a living…lol! I bought some Annie’s Goddess dressing today…rocked my socks, sooooo good!! Have a great weekend!

Hope the weather’s nice in Florida! Coming from a northern girl, you are so not pale:)
Have fun in Orlando!! It should be a lot warmer there than here!
Bringing all of those goodies with you is such a great idea- really sets you up for a healthy way of eating even while you’re away from home 🙂
Have a great time in FL! I woke up today and it was 3 degrees here, yikes 🙁
Have a blasty!!! Road trip to Chicago soon, k?
I am the WORST road trip buddy because all I do is sleep, but my husband thinks I am the best because he can listen to whatever he wants on his ipod haha. have fun!
Woooo have an amazing trip!! Road trips are my FAVORITE, especially with a significant other and some good music =)
Have a great weekend in Orlando. Enjoy Whole Foods! What I would give to go there!!!!!
Do either of the Zumbas include the GaGa???? 😉
Have a good weekend!!
haha when my boyfriend and I were driving back from Seattle, I totally fell asleep for 1.5 hours of the 2 hour drive. The poor guy had to drive in the dark, after a long plane ride with no company! I felt so bad.
I hate that I fall asleep with my mouth open too… embarrassing yes. Especially on plane rides. Hope you have a fun trip!
Hey Gina, hope you’re enjoying Orlando. too funny you fell asleep in the car, I did that when I was on a date in the cinema, fell fast asleep, it wasn’t good but kinda funny looking back. Your food for the day looks so tasty and healthy, you’ve inspired me to eat healthy this Saturday, I’m awake early so I’ll make a trip to the food market. Those raw cacao cookies look delicious, looking forward to the recipe. Have been thinking a lot about getting a dehydrator, very tempted.
you guys always look like you’re having so much fun 🙂
thanks again for your whole foods post. i went back to read the comments, and actually altered my opinion because of it!
Those veggies, green juice, and cookie all look so yummy!
Road trips with the right people are a lot of fun! And mmmmm, that cookie looks delicious. I could chomp it down in a few bites.
pale=sexy, because it means you take care of yourself despite the Florida sun!
hahah, i wear spf 30 every day 🙂
