<\/a><\/p>\n(P fell asleep during our late-night dinner to celebrate my brother Trevor\u2019s bday)<\/p>\n
We also went to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em>\u00a0(10\/10 would not recommend, but the popcorn was excellent), and I asked the girls to pose by the Top Gun<\/em>\u00a0poster. I was like, \u201cCome take a picture by Tom Cruise! He\u2019s SO cool! We can send it to dad.”<\/p>\n They were not as enthused. They\u2019re like, \u201cI see a guy in a flight suit every day.”<\/p>\n (Also worth mentioning here that our squadron rented out an entire theatre for the premiere and \u201ccostumes are encouraged.\u201d I can\u2019t wait. Even though the guys will be heckling at the screen and pointing out all of the inaccuracies the entire time.)<\/p>\n Before I get into the Friday Faves fun, I\u2019m excited to announce the winner of the 100th podcast episode giveaway!<\/a><\/p>\n Congrats to Bonnie! She\u2019ll be getting Sakara meals<\/a>, Beautycounter goodies<\/a>, Fit Team membership<\/a>, and a custom movement assessment and nutrition guidelines<\/p>\n Stay tuned for more amazing giveaways, and can you sneak in a last-minute Inside Tracker entry here<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n \u00a0Things I\u2019ve learned from diets I\u2019ve tried.<\/a> (Just ICYMI)<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to check out this week\u2019s podcast episode here!<\/a> This one turned my world upside down.<\/p>\n Mother’s Day gift ideas!<\/a><\/p>\n 3 things I realized when I stopped people-pleasing and received.<\/a><\/p>\n Powerful ways to improve confidence and self-worth.<\/a><\/p>\n LOVE this Club Monaco dress from RTR Unlimited,<\/a> especially with white sneakers! One bummer about RTR Unlimited is that many of the clothes are sold out online, which makes it hard to link to things, buuuuut Amazon has a similar dress here<\/a>. I actually have this one in red and it\u2019s SO cute and flattering. They have a ton of colors and it\u2019s only $32 right now.<\/p>\n I\u2019m currently on a mission to find a swimsuit that is NOT cheeky. I\u2019ll find a cute style, then look at the booty coverage and see that it\u2019s a thong haha. The current styles are very cute, but I don\u2019t need my kids and their friends to see my entire booty at the pool lol. I put the call out on Instagram last night and here are some of the recs I received!<\/p>\n If you have any recs, please send them my way!<\/p>\n LOVE all of the smocked tops<\/a> that are in right now, especially with high waist jeans and hoops.<\/p>\n You guys. The Sakara<\/a> grilled cheese and rustic tomato soup was a dream.come.true. I wish they offered this meal every week! It was SO savory and delicious. Sakara is doing some 30-day resets coming up, which include some amazing goodies (a baseball cap, Pilates collaboration, my favorite metabolism bars, and a 30-day guide), and you can use my code<\/a> XOGINAH for 20% off, including regular meal plans and their clean boutique items. It\u2019s an awesome little treat to gift yourself!<\/p>\n 30-minute at home barre video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Crockpot lentil soup<\/a>. Going to sneak in a couple more soup nights before it\u2019s a thousand degrees here.<\/p>\n The new Organifi green juice<\/a>! It has a light apple flavor, instead of the minty-lemon original flavor. I expected it to taste like an apple Jolly Rancher and this was incorrect. It\u2019s much more subtle, lightly sweet, and very clean and delicious. Code is FITNESSISTA for a discount!<\/p>\n TONS of dessert ideas here for summer get-togethers.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Happy Friday, friends!<\/p>\n xoxo<\/p>\n Gina<\/p>\n The post Friday Faves<\/a> appeared first on The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi hi!
