Sunday Flowers

Hey guys! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a relaxing afternoon 🙂

This morning, I had protein pancakes on the brain.

pancakes

Topped with 1/2 bananner and 1 T maple syrup, they were perfect 😀

I took out the little ladies:

dogs 

and went to Publizzle (aka Publix) for some groceries. It was a good hint that I needed to replenish my stash after having blue corn chips, zucchini and protein ice cream for dinner last night.

It’s been a while since I posted the goods for ya’ll, so here are today’s foodie purchases:

groceries

Veggies, frozen fruit, carrots, eggs, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, basil, garbanzo and kidney beans, Larabars, grape tomatoes, salad, goat gouda, oregano, peaches, apples and apricot jam.

All organic, except for the blueberries and basil.

+ Sunday flowers

I’ll hit up Wizzle sometime tomorrow for the rest of the veggies and another family-sized thing of salad.

When I got back to the casa, it was snacktime.

Time for this girl to do some laundry (blech) and hit up the gym. INDIAN FOOD and a movie tonight 😀

Have a fabulous day <3

Today’s tip: If you find yourself getting stressed or anxious, try one of my favorite mantras. As I inhale, I think “Peace” and on the exhale, I think “Calm”. Peace….. calm…. peace …..calm 😀 It’s helped me get through stressful situations (like getting blood taken!) and also helps quiet my mind when I’m trying to fall asleep. Give it a whirl 😉

Something to do: Meet me back here tomorrow for a protein promo that will ROCK. YOUR. SUN WARRIOR. FACE. OFF 😀

    Great grocery trip! Lots of good stuff there 🙂
    Yesterday I went to a local health food shop (it has a smoothie+juice bar in it) and they had sunwarrior! 🙂 The nearest whole foods is like 1.5 hours away from me, so I really have NEVER seen it around before, so I bought the chocolate flavor! 🙂 I can’t order from opensky yet (canadian) 🙁 Although I’m pretty sure they are trying to start canadian shipments! 🙂 Have a great sunday! Movies+indian food sounds AWESOME!

    Only five days until I’m in Vegas. 🙂 I made 101 Cookbook’s favorite pancakes this morning and my parents both said that they were the best pancakes that they’ve had. . . and I make a lot of pancakes. 😉

  4. A Teenage Gourmet on June 27, 2010 at 1:02 pm

    And oh, I want Sun Warrior too!

  5. Sarra H on June 27, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    I want Sun Warrior!!! I’ve always wanted to try it, but it’s kind of pricey. Also, how’d you make your hummus? looks delish!! 🙂

  11. TV on June 27, 2010 at 2:10 pm

    I know that you sometimes eat veggie burgers in your salads. Can you recommend some good brands?

    The only one I’ve reviewed on my blog is the Dr. Praeger’s one but I want to try some more…

    • Fitnessista on June 27, 2010 at 2:18 pm

      sunshine burgers are my favorite- the breakfast and falafel flavors are excellent

  12. Jo on June 27, 2010 at 2:16 pm

  15. Hotchick on June 27, 2010 at 2:37 pm

    Those look like Gina foods. Does the pilot say anything when you buy your stuff & then his stuff? I’m just wondering because I’m getting married soon:)

    • Fitnessista on June 27, 2010 at 2:51 pm

      nope, as long as i feed him what he likes, he’s a happy kid 🙂

    Sounds like the perfect day: grocery shopping, Indian food, and movies. Love the tip at the end of your post. 🙂

  27. Lotus on June 27, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    Hi Gina,

    I follow your blog often. I wanted to know if you eat / drink dairy? If not, how do you get calcium? Do you use goat cheese for calcium?

    Also, do you take suppliments? If so which suppliments do you take?

    I follow the same high raw pescatarian diet as you, but I’m looking to get more calcium and suppliments into my diet. I’m concerned that I am not getting enough nutrients / minerals.

    Thanks 🙂 and I can’t wait for Monday’s promo code!!!

    • Fitnessista on June 27, 2010 at 9:54 pm

      hey girl,
      i get calcium from green veggies (broccoli, spinach and kale), goat dairy and almond milk, which is fortified with calcium. i also take a prenatal vitamin everyday 🙂

  28. Jenna on June 27, 2010 at 8:20 pm

    Goodness gracious girlfriend! I just made your sloppy joe recipe & it was FANTASTIC. I was kind of nervous about it because the only vegetable I have ever been able to stomach in the recipe it carrot & celery, so I didn’t think I was going to really like it, but I LOVED IT! I heated it up and put it on a whole wheat sandwich thin with a little bit of lettuce & it was grand. 🙂 haha. your way was more of a lettuce wrap, and I didn’t have any lettuce except for chopped up salad. Oh well! It was wonderful. I’ll definately be having these again. Oh, and I’m excited to make your crepes tomarrow morning! Yayy! Thanks Gina! 🙂

    • Fitnessista on June 27, 2010 at 9:52 pm

      i’m so glad you liked them! thank you for letting me know 🙂

  29. Vickie on June 27, 2010 at 8:23 pm

    I really like your tip about peace and calm…I do the deep breathing thing already but adding the words makes you concentrate more on relaxing, its weird, I like it! Thanks! Oh……..and I did NOT forget about tomorrow’s promo. Yea baby!

  30. Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life on June 27, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Looking forward to the sun warrior protein secret! 🙂

  31. LisaG on June 27, 2010 at 9:33 pm

  33. Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter on June 27, 2010 at 10:12 pm

    I read your post right before I got on the plane. I used your tips of saying “peace” and “calm.” I was able to relax and get a good nap in :)Thanks for the tip!

  34. Emily @ Emilyeatsclean on June 27, 2010 at 11:07 pm

  39. Marissa on June 28, 2010 at 9:15 am

    When I went shopping yesterday, I bought so much stuff! I can’t open the fridge now without being attacked by the overfilled produce drawer or one of the currently 3 gallons of milk we have. Hahah.

  40. Emily N on June 28, 2010 at 1:47 pm

    I hit up an Indian buffet and caught a movie Sunday as well:)
