Sad Soup
Hey guys!! The weekend is in sight 🙂 How’s your morning going?? <3
LOVED all of the awesome feedback for Bridal Bootcamp! Forgot to mention to leave a comment *here* after you finish the first workout- we can cheer each other on 🙂 (and I like to hear what you think of the workouts!)
Yesterday afternoon, I had a little photoshoot with Kayla Selans. She’s a photographer in Orlando and I needed some shots done for different blog thangs.
A couple of my faves:
Fun, huh?? 😀
I came back to the casa and packed up dinner to take to work:
An entire bunch of kale, massaged (in a creepy way), and topped with Nama Shoyu, rice vinegar, olive oil, cayenne, Garlic Gold, sea salt and pepper- crammed into a to-go container (which leaked in the baggie I was carrying it in… loverly)
+ soup from Whole Paycheck and a Larabar
The soup was *supposed* to be an Indian vegan lentil soup. Um, it tasted like water and lentils. There were about 20 spices I wanted to add to it…
I worked late, came back to the casa and called it a night <3
This morning, I had oats on the brain:
Pumpkin protein oats with:
-1/3 C steel cut oats
-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior (the last I could scrape out of the bottom of the bag!)
-1/2 C pumpkin
-Stevia, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
-Blob of almond butter + cacao nibs for my face garnish
Well I’m off to get started on the days to-dos and squeeze a workout in 🙂
See ya later today with Fitnessista-fied mac n’ cheese.
xoxo,
Gina
2 weeks until Foodbuzz Festival!! SO EXCITED to meet everyone who will be there <3
Today’s workout jam: “Gypsy” by Shakira – ideal for a cooldown

Love the headshot of you! It is so pretty.
I can’t wait to see the mac and cheese!
The pics turned out great — Your headshot turned out really beautiful!
i hate a liquidy, flavorless soup– ESPECIALLY when a hearty soup is all i can think about!
p.s. youre stunning. but i don’t need to tell you that 🙂
Beautiful pictures! You can tell you were a dancer by your dancer’s pose:)
I love the photos! So pretty! 🙂
And fitnessista-fied mac n’ cheese?! Yum, I’m excited to see what you do with it!
I make healthified mac n’ cheese for my son by adding chickpeas, and frozen veggies! He loves it!
Great pics! – Can’t wait for the mac n cheese…one of my favs!
Hey Gina! Those pictures are awesome! 🙂
I’m excited to see this mac & cheese recipe!
i had pumpkin oats today too! steel cut with pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, maple, and a blob of pecan pumpkin buttah
Excited for the mac and cheese.
I did the dancer pose this morning… it looked nothing like that 😉
Very pretty photos!
cute photos, you little model, you!
i hate lackluster soups. amy’s soups are on sale this week at wholefoods (5 for 10). i scooped up a TON! i love the split pea, but tried the butternut squash last night. uhhh, it was thinnnnnnnnnn. real thin. so thin i wanted to drink it. it was also pretty flavorless. i suggest buying amy’s soups, but not the butternut squash 😉
You look so pretty in your pictures. P.S. Your recent yoga post inspired me to finally get up the courage to attend a yoga class – and I loved it!! Totally not scary at all haha. Your recommendations for poses to familiarize yourself with before attending your first yoga class was right-on. So thanks!!
sweet! i’m so glad you had a good time 🙂
I love those photos of you!! I hate when soups don’t turn out as tasty as I plan, but I posted about one today that was delicious! http://wp.me/pSUCS-15x
I love your leaf place mat! So autumn-esque:)
thanks 🙂
Yum the oats look delicious. I have to add protein to my oats otherwise I get hungry!
me too!
OOOOOOOOOOOH! Can’t wait to check out your mac n cheese.
I have that pink tank!! 😀 SO CUTE! Love the pictures too. Wonder what your doin’ with ’em ??
Pretty sure you came up with the mac n’ cheese recipe just for me 🙂 Can’t wait!
And really CAN’T WAIT for Foodbuzz!!! 🙂 🙂
You so fritty. 🙂
That soup IS sad. In fact, if I’m gonna make soup my main course, it better be exciting–I’m probably like a dude that way. Whenever my mom used to make soup for dinner, my dad would be like, “…and what else?” Hahaha…
haha i’m the same way! if i’m having soup for dinner, it better be really GOOD soup
nice photos! Yoga photo shoots are harder than they look, trust me I know!
Also a great Shakira song thanks for reminding me I need to download it. 🙂
haha, that soup doesn’t sound very enjoyable:P I love your blog by the way, you’re such a gorgeous girl. I hope you will make some more videos on recipes, maybe some yoga videos or something. I love all the videos on you youtube account so I was sad when I watched all of them(twice):P
Feel free to pay me a visit at http://www.abrandnewchange.wordpress.com
(I’m a new foodblogger so there’s not so many posts yet)
Keep up the blogging!
With love,
Janiek
you look beautiful! love those shots, especially the 3rd one 🙂
Very nice photos! And yay for man n cheese!!! 😀 😀
man and cheese? i want some of THAT! bahaha
Fun shots! Gina, gotta say though, the way you write is totally one of those random things that make my day :o) example? “Kale massaged (in a creepy way)”. Love you!
haha thanks girl
you look so pretty! i’m so bummed i won’t be able to make it to foodbuzz, i’ll be in NY that weekend for an interview for internal medicine residency! (wish me luck!). but i live like 40 mins away from SF! would have been awesome to meet you, averie, and other foodbloggers i follow!
awww wish you could be there too! good luck with your interview, though! i’m sure you’ll rock it 🙂
The photos look awesome!!! So beautiful. 🙂
I hate when you feel like you could make a store bought food so much better. Its usually a reminder to me that I just wasted money on something I could have made 1000 x better at home. But I guess in the essence of time, it’s needed some days. 🙂
Have a great day hun.
aw so beautiful!
I wish i was going to Foodbuzz, i swear one day i will go to one of those events and meet everyone!
You’re so gorg! And I agree, that soup does suck.
Cannot wait for the mac n cheese recipe!! The pics of you are awesome!
The head shot is gorgeous and I love the back bend one. So fun.
Look at you in your wheel! I am so jealous! 🙂
Love the shots! Purty 🙂
Wish I were going to FBF – that’s awesome that you won the challenge and get to go, girl:)
Have a great day!
Love the pics! You look beautiful!
Can’t wait for the fitnessista-ifed mac n cheese!
Love the pictures – you’re gorgeous! Can’t wait for the mac n’ cheese recipe! 🙂
omg I cannot wait for this mac n’ cheese recipe!!! The FBF sounds amazing!
Love the pics! I’ve had that vegan lentil soup from WF…not great. I’m making a kale, sweet pototo and lentil soup for dinner tonight…should be interesting.
Love the photos! Sorry about the soup though.
You are gorgeous and super flexible! Your kale massaging comment made me giggle. Get it giiiiiiirl!
The pictures look awesome…doing photo shoots + yoga photo shoots = so much fun!! Looks like you had a great time and the one of you in Dancer Pose is awesome. I can tell you can rock the splits any ole time you want. Nice!
And Food Buzz…yes, I am so excited!!!!!! I need to shop for some clothes though. Dresses! And try not to overpack LOL
Can’t wait to finally meet you!!
🙂
you have no idea how excited i am to FINALLY meet you!
Mac n cheese? Yes PLEASE!
Great photos!
Ah, i have NEVER had a good soup from WF, sadly never:( I love everything else about Whole Paycheck tho, they just don’t know soup:=
Lovely pics by the way:)
Sorry about your soup bot you look purrrrty in your pics!
that soup is such a bummer! better luck next time
Love the pictures – your SO flexible! LOL
I don’t know what it is but WF soups are either a hit or a miss. My favorite is the Pasta Fajoli. 🙂
PS – Can’t wait to see the recipe for Fitnessista-fied mac n’ cheese! 🙂
Too bad to hear about the your soup being a dud 🙁
Oh-and I’m startign the Bridal Bootcamp tomorrow!! I’m excited 😀
That’s such a bummer about the soup! You should start carrying spices in your purse in case of emergencies like that. 😛
great idea!
Gorgeous photos, Gina. You should be a fitness model!
I am stoked for Foodbuzz as well. Hopefully *someone* will be teaching a Zumba class again? Somehow, some way? 😀
i can’t wait to see you again!! I HOPE SO 🙂
You are so beautiful Gina! Great pictures, love the head shot!
I sooo wish I was going to the Foodbuzz festival. Maybe someday I’ll make it to a blogging event! Great photos by the way!
Wow those are great photos! Like everyone else I agree the headshot is stunning. I saw a couple of A-10s fly over the NAS for the airshow this weekend and thought of you! Those things are no kidding. Take care!
