Sodium overload
Hey everyone!! Hope you’ve had a wonderful day 😀 This day has turned around COMPLETELY- thanks for all of the good vibes! The pilot is doing well, Bella is 100% and has been feasting on dog food all day, Viesa is still lounging around looking like a supermodel and all is right in the world 😉
This afternoon, I really wanted an egg so I microwaved two egg whites and topped the fluffer with red chili flakes, sea salt and pepper.
I also packed up a snack to have after Pilates and Zumba to munch on the way back to the other gym.
A sprouted English muffin:
Leftover veggies from seafood fest 2009
And a coconut water for delicious electrolyte replacement:
Before leaving for the gym, I made a sludge using hemp milk, Vega smoothie infusion, almond butter, sea salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract and Stevia. I also thought it would be a good idea to throw some raw cacao nibs in there.. I was horribly mistaken. I’m a huge chocolate lover and they just tasted crunchy and weird. Maybe it’s an acquired taste??
Pilates class was beautiful ( I LOVE taking classes!) and Zumba was a blasty- we packed the house!!! An awesome Zumba sesh always makes my day a little brighter 😀 So instead of two hours of classes today, I did three (spin, Pilates and Zumba)– I just really, really love working out. It feels like HEAVEN (especially on days that haven’t gone my way.. like today) and for longer workout days I just make sure to properly fuel myself and stretch throughout the day.
I went back to the other gym after Zumba to train a client and munched my packed food along the way. After the training sesh, I was still snacky, so as I was picking up a burrito for the pilot at Moe’s, I got a salad for myself.
I told the guy I wouldn’t be able to eat one of the huge salads (I was just snacky, not starving) so he kindly made me a smaller one.
Nutritionally devoid iceberg lettuce, pico, black beans, olives, jalapeno, guacamole and salsa from the casa.
The salad was the perfect size, but oh wee was it salty!!! It’s crazy how you can taste such a flavor difference after making so many meals at home (particularly salads!). I hope my wedding ring fits tomorrow… I may be slightly bloated haha 😉
Shelby made my Raw Slobby Joes!!! Mmmmm 😀 Might be making some of those bad boys tomorrow!
Now I’m watching 13 Going on 30 and about to catch up on your lovely bloggies.
Have a great night <3
Much love,
G$

So pleased to read that your day got better!! Hope you have a glorious evening as well 🙂
glad your day got better! Viesa is beautiful 🙂
What kind of dog is Viesa? I'm in love with her, she's so cute. 🙂
I'm right there with you on restaurant food being so salty. 🙁
danielle c.- she's a shiba inu 😀
I'm so glad your day turned around!
Working out is heaven for me too. I love doing it when I'm bored or angry. Its so relaxing.
Thanks for the shout-out hun! That recipe is scrumptious!
I have also grown up used to eating not-so-salty foods. My mom was always health conscious and careful to not use too much salt in her cooking, so now whenever I eat out, it's always too much for me when the food is overly salty!
Sound like you had an amazing exercise day! I hope I can find some motivation to get back on track tomorrow.
That salad looks really good!–too bad it was so salty =[
Thanks! I kinda thought that but wasn't totally sure. 🙂
How sweet of the Moe's man! 3 hours of classes is AWESOME!! What a fun combo too – very well rounded. 🙂 I LOVE 13 going on 30!! too cute – hope you have a great day tomorrow!
Good to hear that everything is right again in the Fitnessista's household.
I am in love with your dog – such a cutie! She fits in perfectly with your little family 🙂
Glad to know your day improved! 🙂 I would have thought cacao nibs would be good in a smoothie too.
Hope Tuesday is a good day from start to finish!
it's so true how working out can help!! i always wish i had more time to get movin 😉
I'm glad your day turned around and that the puppies feel better!!!
I love that movie 13 going on 30…so cute…enjoy!

P.S. glad everyone is doing well!
Your workout regime wows me! I love working out though, and am always envious of your profession. I was telling my mom about you the other night. "Hey mom, you would not believe the workouts this girl gets in. It's amazing!" Love ya!
That English muffin looks so doughy and delicious! I know what you mean about sodium – I can't eat Panera any more because it's just SO salty to me 🙁 Booo!!!
Viesa looks like quite the diva in that picture! 🙂
Glad t hear that the day turned around for you…
I used to literally coat my food in salt…my friends would joke that I needed my own salt lick! But I've had the same experience with eating out these days…everything tastes totally overloaded with sodium!
So true about the sodium! I have been working on cutting down my intake, and now whenever I eat out, I am super sensitive to the salt! I guess that's a good thing. 🙂
Glad the whole casa seems better off today!
I've never seen that coconut water, where did you buy that, just at the regular grocery store??
Great job on taking all those classes! I would love to take more classes with peope, its so much more fun than working out on your own in my opinion!
Gina,
When I use cacao nibs in a shake I grind them first in a (bosch)coffee grinder. Same thing for grinding flax seeds. I just started reading your blogs. Thanks for doing a blog for us health conscious folks who are always looking for a yummy nutritious recipe!!
Namaste-
Annie
I LOVE long workout days as well! Unfortunately, I need to take classes and mix it up to really enjoy it. Going 2-3 hours on the stairmaster or elliptical would bore me to tears!!
I'm so glad you ended the day on such a wonderful note 🙂
