You can take the girl out of Valdizzy….
Heyyyyy ๐ How are ya? Hope youโre having a lovely day <3 Thank you SO mucho for those of you who took the time to vote this morning. I had fun voting for my favorite bloggies ๐
Work today was fabulous. More on that in a second ๐
After this morningโs yoga class, I got lost on the freeway (you can take the girl out of Valdostaโฆ.), came back and took the fastest shower in the history of mankind and ate a speedy yet legendary bowl of b-fast cookie cereal.
-1/2 C ish of oats
-1 T homemade almond butter
-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior
-cinnamon, goji berries and cacao nibs
-1 C ish of almond milk
Perfect ๐
So as yaโll know, Iโm not disclosing my Orlando place of employment for safety reasons. My job has never been a focus of the blog anyway, so I figured it didnโt really matter. I will say that itโs part of the fitness/health industry and is a company that I really, really believe in. So Iโm very excited! ๐
For my first day, all I did was HR paperwork and learned about policies (I start training tomorrow)โฆ and then went to do some shopping at the lululemon outlet ๐
Here are the goods for those of youโd like to see them:
The purple sports bra is called the ta-ta tamer, and Iโm excited to see how it works out. I have yet to find a sports bra that is as awesome as the Shock Absorber sports bra from VS that I bought like 4 years ago and was discontinued. Iโll let ya know how this one compares after some HIIT intervals and plyo work ๐
*Note- if you like lulu clothes, see if thereโs an outlet near you- the prices are SO much more reasonable
Next, I stopped at Whole Foods for coconut and then came home for lonchi
A leftover black bean burger on kamut bread with hummus, greens and mustard:
+ miso slaw from Whole Foods (my all-time favorite hot bar item!)
Ahhhmazinโ.
Well Iโm off to make macaroons for the winner of Tinaโs bake sale, then do the weights thang ๐
Hope you have a great night <3
xoxo,
Gina

Something to think: About stepping out of the comfort zone. Todayโs yoga naptime pep talk (aka savasana) was about stepping out of our comfort zone to achieve amazing things. When weโre in our comfort zone, thereโs no room for us to grow and blossom. As the teacher said โwe can either take the easy road for a hard life later on, or take the hard road by putting everything we have into what we do, for an easy life later on.โ
You have such stylish workout clothes – I usually throw on a pair of sweats/running shorts and a tee shirt! ๐
to workout, i totally do too. when i work (training, teaching etc) i have to wear nicer athletic clothes… i’m just as happy in my old shorts and tees
OMG I want a lululemon outlet in Dallas!!! I am a fitness professional as well so all I do is wear workout clothes so I invest my money in nice clothes but it gets a little too pricey sometime :-/ thanks for the suggestion! I hope you can get the zumba video figured out, I’d love to see it!
i’ve heard such great things about the ta-ta tamer…i’m all for spending a little extra for a rocking bra though! let us know how you like it ๐
So glad everything is going well for you. You are a busy body.
We have an outlet, but it’s about an hour drive. I am think of taking my holiday shopping up there so I can make a stop! I want to try the run empower crops…they’re supposed to “keep things from moving”…I wonder if they really work…I hate running on treadmills that have all the weight machines behind them!!!
Good luck with your new job!
I have nothing to “tame” so I can get away with cheaper sports bras. ๐
OHH I love Lululemon! Do you know if there are anymore outlets around? how did you find the outlet?
Last month I tested some of their clothes to see what the big deal was about…I’d have to say their clothes are nothing less then extrodinary! Here’s my post on the lululemon challenge..
