Round Up
Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a lovely one! We escaped for some beach time, Kleiger fam time and cooler weather in San Diego – it was perfect. The week ended with a little golf tournament fun with friends, an afternoon at the pool,

and watching the Wildcats win!
I’d love to hear what you have going on!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup. I always love hearing about your faves from the week and around the web, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.
San Diego!! We hopped on a non-rev flight and had two FULL days in one of our favorite places. We landed by 7am (WHEW) and were in the Better Buzz drive thru by 8:15. Not.too.shabby.


We also got gluten-free donuts and pastries from Phatties and they were everything. A little on the dense side (which I honestly love) and so fresh and sweet. We’ll definitely be back!
We knew we’d have a while until our hotel room was ready, so we went to Mission beach. The weather was a dream.


P loved playing catch with us and running in the waves, and Liv and I also spent lots of time relaxing on the beach blanket. After our 3:45 wakeup, I may or may not have fallen asleep on the beach and got a liiiittle sunburned.
(Packed this sand castle set and this catch set in our carryon. We bought a beach blanket and a football at one of the Belmont shops)
After beach time, the girls were hungry, so we headed to Belmont Park for lunch, P and I got henna tattoos,


and the girls did the ropes course and rode some rides.
Our hotel was ready, so we went back to shower and relax for a couple of hours, and then met the Kleigers for dinner to celebrate Wyatt’s birthday!




We ate a Benihana and it was my first time having hibachi since I became gluten-free and didn’t feel like death afterwards. The sauces usually kill my stomach and they used gluten-free soy sauce for mine and P’s entrees. It was amazing!! We also had Menchie’s afterwards before calling it a night.
The next day, we slept in,
enjoyed coffee while watching the fish and stingrays in the bay,


and had an epic breakfast at Gaslamp Breakfast Company.
This is the GOAT (goat cheese with caramelized onions and bacon – they subbed turkey bacon for me), gluten-free toast, and a hazelnut decaf almond milk latte.


This is definitely one of our new top San Diego breakfast spots, and we have quite a few on the list 😉
After bfast, we went to the K Pop store (Liv’s request), which was inside an incredible Korean market. I loved looking at all of the foods and Liv was able to get a couple of souvenirs for herself and a friend.
Then it was back to the beach 🙂 We spent another full afternoon at Mission, swimming, playing catch, and building sand castles, until it was time to leave. We went back to the Kleigers to say, “see ya soon” before catching an Uber to the airport. The wild thing is that we were technically in Tucson on Tuesday….and Wednesday… but still had a ton of San Diego fun in between.
Sharing some of my favorite sleep tips in this podcast episode.
We watched The Martian this week – I started it on the plane – and it was surprisingly good. It was intense but I absolutely loved it.
Sculpt Society released a new advanced program. All of the workouts are 30 minutes or less and they are SPIIIICY. I did the new Sculpt class and it was a fun and unique flow. Try it here and use the code 25GINA for 25% off.
If you have any EquiLife orders you want to place, wait until Monday. 😉
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!

About 70% women, who have conceived, are troubled by the thought of gaining weight.
So, how to avoid putting excess weight during pregnancy?
Start with light walks for about 15-20 minutes daily. Begin Yoga six weeks onwards, focusing on the pelvic area. Use an abdominal binder to help bring the tummy back to shape. Breast feed as one can lose up to 500 calories in a day. Take the baby out for a stroll in a pram. Eat in moderation. Keep yourself well-hydrated.

Eating out gets a bad rap. While some restaurant meals can deliver a full day’s worth of calories in just one sitting (5), there is a silver lining. Not all meals are created this way, meaning dining out doesn’t automatically mean blowing your goals. From fast-casual spots to sit-down favorites, there are plenty of better-for-you options that can absolutely work with your eating plan, even if you’re taking a GLP-1 medication.
That said, ordering out may feel a little different on a weight-loss medication. With a smaller appetite and feeling full faster, choosing what (and how much) to order can take a bit more intention (1). The good news? It’s completely doable.
Stick with us as we break down how to navigate restaurant menus while on a GLP-1, with practical tips and smart swaps to help you order confidently, enjoy your meal, and stay aligned with your health goals no matter where you’re dining.

Feeling full after just a few bites on a GLP-1? You’re definitely not alone, that’s exactly how these medications are meant to work (1). But when restaurant portions are larger than life and menus lean heavily on calorie-dense ingredients, dining out can suddenly feel overwhelming before you even place your order (2).
Still, those realities don’t have to ruin a night out with friends or make you swear off restaurants altogether. The key is ordering with intention while keeping your goals front and center. Prioritizing protein, fiber, and healthier fats can help you feel satisfied without overdoing it and make the most of the smaller appetite that comes with a GLP-1 (1,3).
Restaurants are starting to catch on to the needs of the people, with many menus now offering lighter, more balanced options that align well with GLP-1 needs. To be honest, it’s never been easier to enjoy eating out while staying on track.

No matter where you’re eating, these tips can help take the stress out of navigating the menu. Keep them in mind before you order to stay aligned with your goals without missing out on the fun of dining out.

Whether you’re pulling through a drive-through or joining a group of friends for a sit-down meal, keep these tips in mind when you place your order.
Traditional fast-food and quick-service restaurants may not be the first places you think of when planning GLP-1-friendly meals but they can actually offer plenty of workable options. Many national chains post their menus and nutrition info online (6), making it easy to plan ahead before you even step inside.
Build-your-own concepts are especially helpful, since they let you customize your meal based on what you need. As MyFitnessPal dietitian Katherine Basbaum explains, “Fast-casual chains offer flexibility that helps people prioritize their personal health goals. With options like lean proteins such as grilled chicken or tofu and fiber-rich vegetables like roasted peppers or cauliflower rice, there’s truly something for everyone, even while taking a GLP-1 medication.”
When ordering, keep lean protein and fiber front and center. Try to limit deep-fried items and foods high in added sugars, and stick with water or unsweetened beverages so you’re not drinking extra calories.
GLP-1 Fast Food Picks:
It’s easy to assume that pricier restaurants automatically mean richer, heavier dishes but don’t let that intimidate you. Many higher-end spots actually shine when it comes to produce, featuring seasonal vegetables and plant-forward dishes right at the center of the plate. Look for those options and pair them with a plant- or animal-based protein to help meet your nutrient needs while still enjoying the variety these menus offer.
One thing to be mindful of: cocktails and desserts. Unless you’ve planned for them ahead of time, it’s usually best to skip or share so you can prioritize foods that deliver the most nutrition per bite. That way, you get the best of both worlds: a great dining experience and choices that support your goals.
Dining at a family-style Italian restaurant? Pull up a chair, this is actually one of the easier places to make GLP-1-friendly choices. Family-style dining gives you built-in portion control and flexibility, so you can choose what works best for you and simply pass on the rest. Lean proteins like grilled chicken pair beautifully with salads or veggie-forward sides. When ordering, ask for dressings or sauces on the side so you stay in control of how much ends up on your plate.
Feeling nervous that friends or family might notice you’re eating differently than you used to? That’s completely okay and totally normal. Before you walk in, remind yourself that these choices are for you. Managing your symptoms and staying aligned with your goals matters more than anyone else’s expectations.
If you do want to say something, keep it light and positive. Try, “Have you tried the Mediterranean vegetables? They’re seriously so good; what do you think they season them with?” Who knows? You might just convert a few people at the table into veggie fans along the way.
Dining out while taking a GLP-1 medication may look different than it used to, but different doesn’t mean it’s difficult or unenjoyable. With a little planning, mindful ordering, and confidence in your choices, restaurants can still be a place to connect, celebrate, and savor good food. Prioritizing protein, fiber, and portions that work for your body allows you to feel satisfied without discomfort, while smart swaps and customization keep your goals within reach.
Most importantly, remember that this journey is yours. You don’t have to eat like everyone else at the table to enjoy the experience. By tuning into your hunger cues, ordering with intention, and using tools like MyFitnessPal to stay aware of your intake, you can navigate any dining situation feeling empowered, nourished, and present.
