Sushi Foul
(The title of this post *should be* โFoul Sushiโ but that didnโt sound as nice, haha)
Hi guys! How are ya?? Itโs 8am and Iโve already taught bootcamp and done TurboFire today! Who am I?! ๐ (Not a morning person)
Last night, I made a double batch of macaroons to take to HLS- will be making more today and tomorrow.
And met the girls at Ichiban since it was our friend Jaymeโs birthday.
I started with the standard soup and salad with ginger dressing:
Got a seaweed salad:
and a roll that was wrapped in cucumber and had a thousand (more like 4) different kinds of fish and avocado:
Of course, our friend Sus ordered the โPineapple boat and birthday songโ for Jayme ๐
It was awesome.
I brought the pilot home a piece of Jaymeโs red velvet birthday cakeโฆ but the frosting off the top was missing. I have no idea what happened to it ๐
Heh heh.
I had a blasty hanging out with the girls, especially since the pilot was flying late. The bummer is that the beautiful cucumber roll was not so beautiful.. I was up all night not feelinโ so dandy. I donโt think Iโll be having sushi again for a while after that one.
This morning, I taught bootcamp, Turbo-ed my face off, munched some bfast and am about to take Bella bootay to the groomer.
The rest of the dayโs looking like this:
-Get a memory card for the new camera so I can start playing with it!
-Hair appointment (deep conditioning treatment)
-Juice with Jeni
-Make more โroons
-Wivesโ meeting
Hope you have a great day!
See ya soon <3

Upcoming: I was waiting until all of my friends and my boss knew what the dealio was, and now that everyone knows, I can post where Iโm moving TOMORROW ๐ Any guesses?
Hotlanta?
Texas?
My guesses are Tucson or Orlando, because of family. Orlando if you still need/ want to be closer to Valdizzy or Tucson if you want to be closer to your immediate familia. Although I’m selfishly hoping it’s Jacksonville! ๐
Wherever it is, I know it’ll be the best for you and I’m excited to watch your journey. ๐
ewww, sorry about the sushi. ick!
I’d guess you’re moving to Dallas/Ft.Worth.
Didn’t you say you were moving to Virginia so we could hang out and eat macaroons all day long. ๐
haha! that would be lovely ๐
I second the move to VA ๐
Your days are always so busy! Even after already getting so much done this morning. I hate when I eat something delicious and it has me feeling gross later on.
I love getting up early and getting stuff done! Especially a good workout like TurboFire ๐
I’m hoping you’re moving to MN so you can make me macaroons all day ๐
You have had quite a packed morning already! I hope you’re moving CT and opening a bakery so I have unlimited access to your macaroons. ๐
eek. i think it’s because you ate sushi on a monday! i dont care what people say – i am a huge believer that restaurants do not order fish past thursday, so monday rolls are not a good choice. hope you’re feeling better!! cant wait to hear where you’re moving!
gah! wish i would have thought of that!!
I hate getting bad sushi. My husband STILL cannot eat it because he got some 3 years ago that was terrible. It still makes his skin crawl!
aww i wish i were coming to hls to eat macaroons with you! i hope you have a blast! i can’t wait to hear where you are moving next! ๐
I think Orlando or Tuscon too!
Ugh. I’m a new sushi eater and I’m
so scared to get anything raw for that reason!
I’m going to guess Orlando!
I’m going with the popular choice of Orlando or Tucson, too. Wherever it may be, hopefully there will be a Whole Foods, Trader Joes and a Bikram studio! (I’m currently 0/3 on those places. Boo!)
NYC!!….or perhaps Charlotte, since all the bloggies are doing it ๐
Orlando.
I’d guess….Orlando! That cake looks amaaaaazing ๐
Hey!
I’m glad you had fun with your girlfriends and I’m looking forward to hearing where you’ll be moving.
Also, I’m having some issues getting my Open Sky link to work for my launch post today. I use WordPress..think you can help? ๐
yes, do you have my cell number? text me
Getting up and getting things done is always fabulous! I don’t know how you’re not a slave to the computer with all the blogging though, I know I am! I hate when you get bad sushi ๐ Have had to take the sushi break many times!
Hmm…where are you moving….Florida??
I’m guessing somewhere in Flordia. I can’t wait to find out!
I am guessing somewhere close to your familia … Orlando or Arizona
PS–about cam…shoot everything in P (program mode) idk if you have photoshop, but to correct white balance, just take little eye dropper and click on anything white in the pic (not too bright white). I have a few photographer clients, they told me that was the easiest thing to do when you are a beginner. Shooting in RAW is the way to go…expect to add about 20+ minutes on to your blogging time though! It takes me a couple hours to post just a few pics, I guess I am meticulous.
wow, good to know thank you! if i don’t have photoshop is there another way to do it??
Your cam probably came with the software…there should be a white balance, RAW editor with it. I used it for a few days, but then sprung for photoshop elements 6 (which is pretty cheap under $70. online). The white balance just makes it the right color, more of a true color…just make sure you have enough lighting because the flash wont fire. To use the flash, put it on automatic, then let the flash open, and then put it back into P mode. Although, pics always look better when you use lighting other than the flash on the camera for some reason! I am no expert, but got the cam over a year ago, and get weekly “lessons” and tips from clients!
I’m guessing Las Vegas because of Nellis Air Force Base there ๐
You did all of that before 8 AM?? Damn girl. I slept through all of that, haha. I really have no guesses for where you are moving…so I guess I will just have to wait! lol
What a fun dinner…especially the pineapple boat!
Ew, that would scar me for a long time. I’m going to guess Alaska. You look like an Alaska kinda girl. Kidding. Near the family?
LOL
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe atlanta?!!!
I dont know! I know though wherever you go , you will be happy, because u are a wonderful person and bring happiness wherever you go!
Have a great day! Sorry about the sushi, that stinks, bad sushi is DEF no fun : p
Realistic guess: Orlando or Tucson. Hopeful guess: somewhere in the northeast, specifically, north jersey/NYC area — I’d love to meet you and show you around! I think you would die of happiness if we went to the Mall at Short Hills, followed by a Bikram class ๐
Haha, yes… I can totally see Gina living at the mall at Short Hills!
I’m guessing Tucson!!!
I have a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli shirt that no longer fits me.. do you want it?? I can bring it to HLS?!
if you’re sure you don’t want it… thank you!!! <3
I have never tried red velvet cake..I need to!!
Oooh, so sad about the sushi! I guess there’s always that risk…
Hope you get to go somewhere you want! ๐
Sorry about the sushi!! The fact that you still got up, taught and worked out is crazy! Glad you’re feeling better.
I hope you are moving to San Diego. I’ll go eat Indian food wit you!! ๐
blech…i hate when that happens with foods you love!
i’m guessing orlando…i feel like you’ve been going to florida a lot lately?!
Guessing either Orlando, Jacksonville, or Tuscon.
Sorry to hear the sushi made you a bit sick. You’re a trooper for getting up that early and getting in a class and turbofire anyway!
That cake sure looks good. If I brought some home, the whole thing would probably go missing before BF ever saw any hehe. ๐
Awww the sushi made you sick? ๐
I love sushi, but I hate how it makes me sick sometimes too. I just don’t eat it enough for my tummy to handle it I guess?
What is turbofire all about? Sounds pretty energizing! I should try it out, as I am so busy and would love a solid workout-at-home regimen to save time and money.
A new camera is so fun! Use the macro setting and natural light when possible. Can’t wait to see new pictures!
I also once had a cuke-wrapped sushi roll that didn’t sit well with me – not sure if it was bad fish, per se, but something was so funky about it. I’ve not ordered one of those again since. Bleck ๐
I hope you’re moving to bigger city (Orlando???) where Whole Foods and good shoe stores are plentiful!!
I really hope Tucson, but since you haven’t seemed too happy about it I’m going to guess Kansas. Or Arkansas.
I’ve been craving sushi recently, but maybe not anymore. haha.
Hmm…I don’t have a good guess for where you’re moving because I don’t know where the relevant military bases are… How about Washington D.C.? I’m sure the Pentagon would love to have the Pilot.
Sorry to hear about the icky fishies. I had a similar experience the other night, though it wasn’t sushi-induced. In fact, I’m not sure what caused it. All I know is that I got up in the morning and exploded.
The no fish on Monday is no more…ask Anthony Bourdain. ๐ I think you must have just gotten a baddie. Could have been the cucumber too. I so want to make raw macaroons. I had a cooked one this weekend and about died and went to heaven.
Ok well I live in St. Louis and I know that Scott Air Force Base is just over the river in Illinois so I’m gonna be a homer and guess St. Louis ๐
I’m guessing Las Vegas ๐
Macaroons for HLS?! Yes, please.
I eat sushi maybe once a month, and every time I do, I am always feeling a little iffy afterwards. I dont want to give up sushi so I’m thinking I’m going to just roll with veggie from now on…
I think you’re going to Tucson since you kept asking about trainer openings in Tucson on Twitter ๐
My guess is Arizona as well! Can’t wait to find out more ๐
So hard, I feel like its going to be somewhere in the South, but that’s all I know.
I’m sorry about the sushi, that’s always such a let down. At least it didn’t hold you back. You did so much this morning. Very impressive!
I’m gonna say AZ or FL!! Can’t wait to find out!!
Bummer about the sushi!! That happened to me a few weeks ago, and I’m taking an indefinite break from sashimi. Definitely NOT something you want to see come back up again!! Hope you have a beautiful day love!!
i’m getting ansy thinking of where you are moving…I NEED TO KNOWWWWW. At least the surprise will make my week go by faster…okay I need a life.hahahaha
I WISH I could get all that done before 8am…I’m lucky to just be dressed and have makeup on!
