So, I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to blog about today.

It’s been challenging to get back in the routine after being away, and I’ve been munching omelets for dinner.

omelet omelet

So delicious, so easy.

After last night’s omelet, I got inspired…

lemon

and made some Meyer Lemon Lavender Macaroons 🙂

They’re just like my classic blonde macaroons, with refreshing, sweet citrus, and a fragrant lavender aroma.

roons

But the thing is, there are way too many of them.

My roomies and I could eat them all, but that would be no fun 😉

Want some?

Just leave a comment with your spring fitness goal and I’ll be happy to send some along to one lucky winner. I’ll choose the future roon-holder tomorrow (Friday) am when I wake up 🙂 [Everyone can enter- one of my last giveaway winners was in England!]

Off to work I go. See ya this afternoon! <3

    My spring fitness goal is to get through my first half marathon in once piece! I am running it with my sisters at the end of March, and we have all been training so hard together!

  2. Donna Porter on March 3, 2011 at 10:27 am

    My spring fitness goals are to hire a trainer. I’m doing ok working out on my own, but I would love the challenge.

  3. Ari @ ThE DiVa DiSH on March 3, 2011 at 10:27 am

    Yeaaa!! I have wanted to try your rooms forever!! My spring fitness goal is to workout at least 5 times a week. I know it sounds simple, but I have a new baby and I’m trying to learn how to incorporate working out into my daily routine as a mamma!

  4. Joanne on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    My spring fitness goal is to amp up my cardio! I’m taking a class tonight called “Kickass Cardio” to do just that 🙂

    Those macaroons look delish!

  5. Ellen @ Undercover Runner Eats on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    My sprint fitness goal is to get back into running more (I have a 5K in just over 3 weeks!)

  6. rebecca lustig on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    I just registered for the Broad Street Run in Philly– My goal is to keep up my weight and health so that I am able to complete the race!

    Nothing screams spring like lavender 🙂

  7. Melody on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    To be a healthy weight and feel full of life and energy!

  8. Geneviève on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    Lemon & lavender – sounds fancy 😉 I want those macaroons! My Spring fitness goal is to get back to yoga!

  9. lindsay on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    My spring fitness goal is to complete the Couch to 5K

  10. Carrie S. on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    I want to start practicing yoga at least once a week (as opposed to the once every two months I’ve been doing. Whoopsie).

  11. Amanda on March 3, 2011 at 10:28 am

    My spring fitness goal is to be able to run 10 miles! I’m doing the Half Marathon Relay and I have the 5 mile leg…so hopefully this summer I’ll be up to 10!

  12. Joslyn @ missfitbliss on March 3, 2011 at 10:29 am

    Oh yum! I was just craving this flavor. I made lavender lemon butter cookies years ago and they were delicious – but way too heavy. What a great idea to put them in macaroons!

  13. Chelsea on March 3, 2011 at 10:29 am

    Headstand!

  14. Kristy R. on March 3, 2011 at 10:30 am

    My spring fitness goal is ABS!!! I always slack on my ab work…big time. I’m thinking of doing the ab thing first, instead of last. Any other suggestions?? 🙂 Thanks Gina!!!

  15. katy {of} katy loves. on March 3, 2011 at 10:30 am

    Since I’m a bridesmaid in Ashley(healthyashley.com)’s wedding, my main goal is to shape up my arms, back and abs. I’ve always felt weak in those areas but still continued to focus on cardio and never saw a different result. Well, of course not silly! I’m focusing a lot more on strength training and running a few times a week. I like the balance of it and feeling strong!

  16. Courtney on March 3, 2011 at 10:30 am

    My spring fitness goal is to complete my 3rd half marathon in under 1 hr 45 minutes! It has been hard training through the snow, cold and wind, but hopefully I can make it!

  17. Jill on March 3, 2011 at 10:30 am

    Spring Fitness Goal: Run a PR (hopefully 2:00 or faster) in my second half marathon, the Flying Pig Half in Cincinnati May 1st. Just thinking about it get me excited!!

  18. Lindsay @ LivingLindsay on March 3, 2011 at 10:31 am

    My spring fitness goal is to run a 5k. Doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve lost 109 pounds since last January so for me, a 5K is a huge milestone!

  19. Harleen on March 3, 2011 at 10:31 am

    omg, those macaroons sound delicious! My spring fitness goal is to be able to run for an hour without stopping. i know it sounds kind of lame, but i usually do the run/walk thing and i’d like to just run. i also started p90x, so i hope to complete it by the beginning of summer!

  20. Erica on March 3, 2011 at 10:31 am

    My spring fitness goals are to take 2-3 group fitness classes per week! I would eventually like to attend a group fitness conference and earn certifications to teach and being that i take 1-2 fitness classes a week now (step, sculpt, etc), I really want to try to up the momentum to help me achieve my goal!!

  21. Siobhan on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    My goal is to get out of the gym and start running outside again! (And to tone up my “thutt” (upper thigh/butt area) as skinnyrunner would say. 🙂

  22. Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    This flavor combo sounds amazing! I love Meter lemons.

    My spring fitness goal: build more muscle and improve definition.

  23. Jackie @ Baking Charms on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    That sounds like a fab ‘roon combo! My spring fitness goal is to figure out how to use weights…

  24. Kristin on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    My spring fitness goals are to lower my body fat percentage by 3% and to PR in my half marathon this May (my time to beat is 2 hrs 11 min).

  25. Megan on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

  26. Cher on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    I’ve been looking for Meyer lemons everywhere!
    My spring fitness goal is to run a 5k! Gotta start somewhere. I run often but only a couple miles at a time at most.

  27. Wendy on March 3, 2011 at 10:32 am

    My spring fitness goal is to become a Marathon Maniac by completing my two marathons in March!

  28. Michelle on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My spring fitness goal is not to slack off after my 1/2 marathon in March. I’d like to keep my level of fitness up and not slack off. 🙂

    On a side note, isn’t lavender the best ingredient? I went to a lavender farm when I visited Maui a few years ago and i’ve been obsessed ever since!!

  29. BIOCHEMISTA on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My goal is to find a new yoga studio. I’m challenging myself to try as many styles of yoga I can in the next few months. 🙂

  30. Holly on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My spring fitness goal is to complete my 3rd 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks, and then try to keep up with my base mileage so that I can start training for my first marathon (marathon training starts at the end of August!).
    I also want to try to start incorporating some weights into my workout at least twice a week and get some buff arms 🙂

  31. Taylor on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My spring fitness goal is to get in the habit of combining 3 hardcore cardio/weight workout seshes into my week as well as 3 relaxing yoga workouts.

  32. Courtney on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My spring fitness goal is to PR in my April Half-marathon.

  33. Taylor on March 3, 2011 at 10:33 am

    My spring fitness goal is to get in the habit of combining 3 hardcore cardio/weight workout seshes into my week as well as 3 relaxing yoga workouts. Got to balance them both!

  34. Beth on March 3, 2011 at 10:34 am

    My spring, fitness goal is to survive marathon training for my fifth marathon. I had a goal time in mind, but I’ve been struggling the past couple weeks so right now I’ll be content with just finishing the marathon alive!

  35. Jaime on March 3, 2011 at 10:34 am

    My spring fitness goal is do yoga at least once a week and increase the amount of cardio I do.

  36. Jordan (Ciao Cow) on March 3, 2011 at 10:34 am

    My spring fitness goal is to tone up my arms and lose the weight I put on during my half marathon training. I’d also like to PR my 5k time! What is the difference between a Meyer lemon and a regular lemon?

  37. Meredith on March 3, 2011 at 10:35 am

    My fitness goal is to fit back into the lovely black-and-white dress that’s been sitting untouched in my closet since I laid off my workout routine last year. I’m back on track now and can’t wait to go shopping in my closet again!

  38. Mandy (theamazonprincess) on March 3, 2011 at 10:35 am

    My fitness goals are to get stronger arms! I’m feeling like a little weakling lately. 😉

  39. Natalie @ Will Jog For Food on March 3, 2011 at 10:35 am

    YAY 🙂 My spring fitness goal is to run 3x a week! I need to get back in the game.

  40. Susan on March 3, 2011 at 10:35 am

    My spring fitness goal is to incorporate yoga into my workouts. Yoga will allow me to get a great stretch in between work outs and keep me limber!

  41. JessicaGFree on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    My Spring Fitness Goal is to experiement with different fitness classes…power, 30/30, Zumba, and maybe yoga! =)

  42. Laura on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    My spring fitness goal is to be more consistent in my work outs.

  43. Simo on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    Spring fitness goal is to get lost 10 lbs in order to get faster and stronger before I start trainig for my next marathon during the summer! 🙂

  44. Kristin on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    My spring fitness goal is to tone my thighs and stomach for my trip to South America in a few weeks. I want to add more yoga and pilates to stretch and lengthen my muscles, since I already have strength training and cardio covered.

  45. Ashley V on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    Uhmmm lavender martinis are my favorite things in the world. Lavender rooms?!?! YES PLEASE. My fitness goal for Spring is to get my bootie in shape in time for the Broad Street run in Philly. I am by no means a “distance runner” and I plan to dominate it.

  46. Kristin on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    my spring fitness goal is to be gentler with myself and to stop being my worst enemy. let the spring bring peace of mind and greater happiness 🙂

  47. April B. on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    My spring fitness goal is to eat healthier and more often. I work out a lot but I feel I don’t eat enough to support it. I don’t do it intentionally, I’m just not always hungry. This has definitely been a work in progress for me. I would LOVE to try those macaroons!!!

  48. Robin on March 3, 2011 at 10:36 am

    Want some? Yes please! 🙂

    My goal is to PR in a 5k this Sunday. (Technically, this means go sub 22:45, but I’ve run ~22 for an en-route 5k during 4 mile races, so I /really/ want to go sub-7 pace!)
    Another goal is to PR in the Brooklyn Half Marathon on 5/21! A PR here would bring me closer to automatically qualifying for the NYCM.

  49. Alexa on March 3, 2011 at 10:37 am

    My goal is to not beat myself up when I want to take a day off and give my body a rest.

  50. Sarah Jayne on March 3, 2011 at 10:37 am

    Meyer lemon lavendar? Sexiest sounding roons EVER! Spring goal is successful half marathon traning meets buff bride workouts 🙂
