WMOW: No Place Like Om
Hi friends! Happy Monday to ya! How’s your morning going?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
I loved reading about your best accomplishments from 2010. A 2010 re-cap will be going up later this week, but a little head’s up that I’ll be posting my 2010 inspiration board next Monday. If you have a blog and would like to join me, please do!! If you don’t have a blog, I’d love to see an email pic of your inspiration board. If you need help setting yours up, *here’s mine for 2010* and a *re-visit to the ol’ board*.

I started my day off with a lovely egg scramble.
That plate of joy had 1 organic egg and 2 egg whites, arugula, fresh pico de gallo, a mesquite tortilla from the farmer’s market
and the best part of all…..
Goat cheese medallions!
I actually tweeted Laughing Cow cheese the other day to see if they would please come out out with a Laughing Goat cheese. Even though they were kind enough to tweet me back and say not at this time, it doesn’t even matter- Trader Joe’s beat ‘em to it 😉 I’m going to be rolling in goat cheese medallions from now on.
Breakfast was GLORIOUS and I gave it a little time before getting ready to leave for a workout- working out with a food baby is no bueno.
This smoooooothie will be waiting in the car for me when I’m done with the AM sweat sesh:
Sun Warrior, mixed organic berries and almond milk.
While I’m doing the workout thang, I thought it would be fun to post this week’s Workout Move of the Week: a yoga-inspired workout.
Some things to remember:
-I say “yoga inspired” because I’m not a yoga teacher, just a yoga student– I am a certified group fitness instructor and personal trainer. That being said, please do not attempt this workout without talking to a doc and until you’ve taken a few live yoga classes. It’s a good idea to be familiar with the poses beforehand.
-As always, honor your body and your injuries. If it hurts, DON’T DO IT!
-This video was filmed in one take, and I managed to chop my head off for some parts with the tripod. Instead of seeing my face, you get to see Bella angelically sleeping, so it’s a good trade off 😉
-Please let me know if you give it a whirl and what you think! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Namaste,
G$

I’m already a “follower”, lol. Yay!!
I love how you’re able to have fun and indulge on Christmas and then jump right back into being healthy and fit. You’re definitely an inspiration. Happy Holidays!
I’m already following your OpenSky store 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration board reminder, by the way- I didn’t make one for 2010, but I’m definitely doing one for 2011!!
Hey Gina!
I love your board! Plenty of inspiration there.
I am already a follower on Open Sky but I would love to be entered in the giveaway!
Thankssss!
Goat cheese medallions are so magical.
i loved this video (and the fact that bella quietly falls asleep beside your mat!) I can’t wait to get home and try this. I hope you continue to do more yoga videos.

I LOVE goat cheese medallions, I buy them all the time!

Omg. I exist off of TJs goat cheese crumbles! I actually can’t wait to sprinkle them over black bean soup for lunch!
I’m already following your open sky store! Love the video! 🙂
You make yoga look so cute and easy!
Loved the workout video! 😀 Hope you have a fantastic day Gina!
Can’t wait to see your new board, I’m working on mine now!
Already a follower! I need to make a board…what a fun idea!
I’ve been thinking a lot about my own 2011 inspiration board lately, and am so grateful for the idea… it’ll be my first one 🙂 And TJ’s goat cheese medallions? one of my FAVORITE dietary staples 😉
I can vouch that bag is amazing! I bought it after seeing your vid of it. I also bought one for my dada as well 🙂
Great video! I’m trying to get back into yoga! I love the way it makes me feel! Strong and Calm!
I love the idea of the inspiration board! Sounds so simple, yet so powerful to remind myself throughout the year to strive for those things! I’ll definitely get one started!
Already following and I would LOVE this bag!
I love your dog falling asleep in the video!
I just signed up to follow on Open Sky! I really hope I win the bag!!! If not I will have to buy it anyway, I keep thinking about it 🙂
Following you on Open Sky! I have had my eyes on that bag for AGES! Loved your video too! Definitely going to try out the moves later.
I’ll definitely try out your yoga-inspired work out! I’ve been wanting to take baby steps to get back into it and I think I should be able to manage 9 minutes. Thanks!
gina- love love love the bag! following you now!
I’m already a follower.
I am already a follower and loving the deals!
Already a follower and received my Sun Warrior on Friday! Will I be entered?? I would love to win that bag! I’ll be doing this WMOW later this week!
yes you’ll be entered!
I once emailed Laughing Cow to ask them about goat cheese too that is so funny!! Just followed!!
I’m now following you on Open Sky!
Just watched the video and can’t wait to try it out later this week. Also, I’m now following you on OpenSky – what a great giveaway!
I’ve never–sadly– tried Laughing Cow wedges, but I hear from the blogworld their fantastic. So I’m SO trying those medallions, courtesy of TJ’s 🙂 TJ’s is always highering the bar, goodness!
Do you have a recipe for the pico de gallo?
Yay i love workout move of the week videos! 🙂 Can’t wait to give this one a try. Last week’s kicked my bootay!
P.S. your breakfast looks delish!
I’m following you on OpenSky 🙂
I’m following you already! Are mesquite tortillas gluten-free? P.s. I would LOVE to see more gluten-free vegan recipes on here 🙂
I am already a follower
I already follow you on OpenSky 🙂
Just started following you on opensky!
I am definitely a follower!! And I have this yoga video bookmarked… I’m so excited to give it a spin. Yoga is way more my style these days. 🙂
I love the inspiration board. I’m much to disorganized to actually make one though. I make sticky boards. I roll packaging tape backwards on a bulletin board and then throughout the year I stick things to it that I like. Inspiring quotes, ticket stubs, important events. Before I became vegan I loved laughing cow products. yum! I’ll definitely become a follower for your opensky!
Hi Gina! Im reading your post from the friendly skies at 40k feet above the ground and i dont have the battery life to watch the video but can’t wait to do so when I get home and plugged in!
I remember your vision board from when you posted it a few months ago…wow, time has FLOWN by!
Can’t wait to see your post about it all later in the week, and also watch the video 🙂
I’m following you on opensky…because I’ve been dreaming about that bag since you first posted it! Is it just me, or should stuff like that bag be considered Art!? (and even better because it’s way more practical than a painting or a sculpture!)
Oooh…thanks for the tip about the goat cheese at TJ’s. I’m definitely picking some up on my next trip there.
Gina,
where did you get the goat cheese medallions??????? i must have them 🙂
love the video! and i have an inspiration board, love it. following you on opensky- my garlic gold gift came last week and it has changed me forever hehe
Awesome giveaway! I would love to win this bag. I am already a follower.
I last made an inspiration board in the summer, but I think I need to make a new one for 2011 to give me some more motivation! 😀
I think it’s wonderful you promote inspiration boards! I’d love to do a giveaway on your blog if you’re interested…I do graphic representations of treasure maps/vision posters for clients.
I love your tank in the video…the Lululemon lolo purple is my favorite color but alas, there isn’t one here and they don’t ship here.
your inspiration board inspired me to make one !
hmm what is mesquite exactly?
