Victory on the sweater front
Hey everyone! Happy Saturday! 😀
I’m pleased to announce that I’m the proud owner of the PERFECT ugly Christmas sweater…
It has SNOWMEN on it!!! And it’s also a kid’s size, hence the 3/4 length sleeves 😉 The pilot did well though.. he surprised me with that little gem this morning 😀
I’m not the only one rocking a new sweater lately – Bella looks so cute in her jacket!
Viesa isn’t a fan of clothing, but her thick fur keeps her warm 😀
So, I was a crazy lady this morning. Meara, Kelly and I set out in the freezing cold and rain (!) to run 10 miles.
Before leaving (after over-sleeping.. thanks again for waiting for me, friends!), I had some of my beloved millet bread.
Since many of you have asked what brand I’ve been enjoying, I took a pic of it for ya’ll:
So. Insanely. Good.
This particular morning, I had it plain since I was running late and had no time to be fancy 😉
So… 10 soggy miles. Pouring rain, wind, the whole she-bang. We kept a 9:30 pace for the 10.3 miles, which I was pretty stoked about considering my drenched socks and numb body. When I got back to the casa, I was frozen to the bone and a hot bath surrounded by candles and spa music was waiting for me. My pilot = the greatest man ever 😀 I slipped into the hot bathtub and defrosted for a while before eating.
I munched a bowl of berries and sliced banana
And some chia pudding with almond milk, chia, vanilla Sun Warrior brown rice protein, cinnamon, mesquite and 1 T almond butter
The pilot had the exact opposite 😉
I had an awesome training appointment and came back to the casa, and am about to take a little nap before getting ready for the squadron Christmas party. I’ll be sure to take lots of pics of the tacky sweater goodness 😀
See ya in the morning!
Much love,
G$
Today’s tip: The day of a party or event, don’t “save your calories” for a big meal, since you’ll be starving and more likely to overindulge. Treat it like any other day and like you’re going to a friend’s house for dinner. I always have a big salad before heading out to a party so make sure I have some veggies. Then, while I’m at the party, I have a drink in my hand and talk with friends to avoid mindless snacking, and load up my plate with veggies. I have smaller servings of the less healthy stuff if I want to give it a try.

The sweater is great! ha! Sounds like a tough run but you rocked it and got your reward after.
Loooove the sweater Gina!!! You are rockin’ it 🙂 Can’t wait to see pics of everyone else’s too.
Hi Gina,
love the sweater! Just wanted to say how much I love chia puddings now – I used your recipe last week and it’s awesome!
Kick booty on the run Gina! And the sweater you found is awesome- have fun tonight at the Party.
I’ve seen that bread and always been tempted to try it out, and now with your rave reviews, I definitely will!
Sweet sweater. Love that it’s a kids sweater!
Those berries look delish, it’s making me want some.
I am also being a crazy person and heading out for a run in the cold tomorrow morning, but some bloggers are joining me so I won’t be alone!
Where did he find such a great sweater?? I need to find one tomorrow!
Congrats on finding the sweater!! And I hate running in the rain sometimes, but glad to hear you got a good run in!!
Ah! I love your snowman sweater. Have fun at the party lady!
Superb sweater. Seriously.
I love the opposite meals, too funny haha
I am lovin’ the sweater! The fact that the sleeves are too short makes it even better! You are certainly rockin’ that disaster clothing
sorry fitnessista, the sweater needs to look uglier, its too cute on you.
I agree with hotchick lol!
Yup – the sweater is adorable on you. It is a terrible sweater, no doubt but you look terrif in it. The pilot is a good guy, my H is a good guy too- every girl should have one!
Only YOU can pull off the sexy face in an ugly Christmas sweater hahhahha
Love the sweater! Have fun at the party!!

That sweater’s great!! Hope you had a blast:)I’ve got to pick up some of that bread next time I’m at the store – you make it sound so good!
Nice job on the 10 miles. That’s a great hubby you have!
Never mind being jealous of the husband who runs a bath for you, I’m jealous that you have a nice enough tub to actually take a bath. Mine is tiny and quite frankly, I don’t really trust it. (I’m in REALLY OLD rental.)
You have some balls heading out the rain like that.
ahah thank you. i’m proud of my running cajones 😉
I am late on the ugly sweater resolution, but you look rad !!! Absolutely awesome that it’s a cardigan instead of the traditional pullover version. And you’re workin’ it !!! 🙂
As for Bella, where do I begin… she is such a girlie girl. So gorgeous and perfect in her wee chickie skellie hoody. I loooooove your pups !
hahah bella says thank you 😉 she is quite the girly girl
