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

xoxo

    My goal for this spring is to participate and dominate in NY’s version of a Tough Mudder, it is called “Beat the Farm” and is an intense 5k chuck full of military style events 🙂 I can’t wait!!!

  2. Kelsey R on March 3, 2011 at 8:19 pm

    I love omelets for dinner!

    My Spring goal is to PR at the Nashville Marathon in April and finish in under 4:30 🙂

  3. Rachel on March 3, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    The roons look heavenly!

    My spring goal is to tone up my arms. I’m very strong but I just need to get rid of this layer so you can see the pretty little muscles!

  4. kirsten on March 3, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    To resume weight training after taking a “vaction” from lifting for the last 3 months! I keep up with cardio and yoga all
    year round but weights are a different story……

  5. laura on March 3, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    start to train for a sprint triathlon!

  6. Lisa on March 3, 2011 at 8:27 pm

    My goal is to stick w/the NROLFW plan 🙂

  7. Meghan on March 3, 2011 at 8:28 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to start running again. I got injured during my half marathon training and I haven’t been able to run for a few months and I can’t wait to get back out there!

  8. Erin on March 3, 2011 at 8:28 pm

    My goal is to finish one of my half marathons in under 2 hours!! And lavender lemon macaroons?!?! HOLY YUMMMERS!!!!

  9. Jen on March 3, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    Those macaroons sound delicious! My spring fitness goal is to trade my mountain bike for a road bike at one of the local bike swaps and start logging more miles while running errands around town. 🙂

  10. Lindsay J on March 3, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    Love your shoes!! My spring fitness goal is to get off the treadmill and start running outside again.

  11. Rebecca on March 3, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to keep adding miles to my running!

  12. Emily on March 3, 2011 at 8:34 pm

    I recently moved from sunny Los Angeles up to rainy Seattle. My spring fitness goal encompasses that transition as well as an injury I sustained a year ago: get involved in a running community in Seattle as I work towards running another half marathon.
    And those macaroons sound delicious! I’ve been experimenting with lavender in the kitchen and haven’t figured out how to get it just right…

  13. Kayla on March 3, 2011 at 8:38 pm

    My goal for this spring is to make it through our lunges song at Zumba without wanting to cry, lol.

  14. Laura (On the Threshold of Greatness) on March 3, 2011 at 8:46 pm

    I would love to win these ‘roons so I can share them with my grandma, who is a lemon fiend! Actually, I think you’d love her! She’s the crazy lady who said “Laura, take my picture!” as she licked her plate clean of birthday cake. 😀 She’s trouble!

    Anyway, my spring fitness goal is simply to make working out a REGULAR thang again!

  15. Natalie Rae on March 3, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    Spring fitness goal= strengthen quads for reduced knee pain… lifting here I come!

  16. Trisha on March 3, 2011 at 8:49 pm

    Hey Gina! My spring fitness goal is to join a running group and start running outside again, and continue doing yoga at least 3 times a week 🙂

  17. Emma on March 3, 2011 at 8:49 pm

    My goal for March is to exercise a minimum of 4 days each week!

  18. Bethany on March 3, 2011 at 8:50 pm

    My goal is to incorporate more yoga into my weekly fitness routine!

  19. Kristin on March 3, 2011 at 8:50 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to fit in time for hiking and purchase a cruiser bike so that I can ride my bike to the corner coffee shop. I also want to try insanity, but it will have to wait till I get a break from school.

  20. Christin@purplebirdblog on March 3, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to get my bike tuned up and get back out and ride more often… I love the freedom I feel when cycling!!!

  21. Stephanie on March 3, 2011 at 9:01 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to improve my endurance by going on regular walks/runs and attending my favorite fitness classes (zumba and kickboxing)!

  22. Emily on March 3, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to exercise my mixing arms by spending more time in the kitchen creating home-cooked meals and goodies! That counts, right? 🙂

    If not, I also want to branch out on the types of group fitness classes I take. I’m a Zumba and HHH addict, but I want to try DT and work on some yoga/pilates! Open a DT studio in Pittsburgh, please? The cold weather isn’t THAT bad.

  23. Jennie on March 3, 2011 at 9:05 pm

    I am participating in the Reach the Beach relay as in an “ultra” team with six other girls. My spring fitness goal is to train and run the relay without getting injured. Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway, Gina!

  24. Leilani on March 3, 2011 at 9:07 pm

    So glad you’ll be reunited soon! My spring fitness goal(s) are to spring clean my entire system with 1 day a week water fasts – lots of fresh salads, veggie and fruit juices.
    To walk at least 5 days a week in the gentle sunshine time (either before 9 am or after 3pm) to try and meditate daily and practice yoga every morning.

  25. Rika on March 3, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    My fitness goal is to be able to 15 real pushups instead of the ones on the knees I do!

  26. Teresea on March 3, 2011 at 9:12 pm

    My fitness goal this spring is to lose the last 5 pounds so that I can reach my goal of 132. That and run a sub 2-hour half marathon!

  27. Tracy @ Commit to Fit on March 3, 2011 at 9:13 pm

    My goal is to run 5km without walking!

  28. Catie on March 3, 2011 at 9:13 pm

    Keep on training for a faster marathon time for one in May!

  29. Katie on March 3, 2011 at 9:14 pm

    My goal for this spring is to get back in to a work out routine. Since starting nursing school in September, I have really been slacking in the work out department as I try to keep up with school… But it’s time to make exercise a priority again!

  30. Chandra on March 3, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to continue on the Insanity journey… today I completed day 4!!

  31. Sarah on March 3, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    I’m training to get back in ballet form for an audition!!!

  32. Stephanie on March 3, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    My goal is to drop those last 5 pesky lbs that snuck up when going through a lot of life changes this past winter (finishing internship, graduation, moving, getting a job as a high school teacher teachin AP courses- you get the picture!) and to be consistent with my workouts (running/bodyrock) so when summer hits and i’m off not only will I look awesome but i’ll already be in a great routine.

  33. Barbara on March 3, 2011 at 9:18 pm

    my spring fitness goal is to be more consistent w/exercising and to do a lot less convenience eating (i.e., fast food, processed foods, etc).

  34. Dana on March 3, 2011 at 9:19 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to run my first 10k

  35. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on March 3, 2011 at 9:19 pm

    My spring goal is to run my first real race! 😀

  36. Hannah (Hannah Lives) on March 3, 2011 at 9:20 pm

    I want a run a 5k, without stopping. Plain, and simple.

  37. Melodie on March 3, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    I’ve FINALLY gotten into running and I’m really enjoying it. I just completed my first 10k and it’s got me thinking hard about a half marathon. But for spring, I would love to hit 9 miles. So that’s the goal. 9 is the number. 🙂

  38. Runeatrepeat on March 3, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to stay on my marathon training schedule!

  39. Katie on March 3, 2011 at 9:24 pm

    Run a half marathon by the time i start nursing school in June!

  40. Stephanie @ lungesandlunch on March 3, 2011 at 9:25 pm

    My spring goal is to bring my bike back to life! It used to be a major form of transportation for me but I got “too busy.” Like an old friend, I miss our time together.

  41. Allie M on March 3, 2011 at 9:33 pm

    My spring goal is to walk more. I sit all day at a desk job, and can’t wait for nicer weather to walk outside during breaks or after work.

  42. suzi on March 3, 2011 at 9:35 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to do more yoga! It’s always on the “to-do” list, I really need to get it on the “done” list more often!!

  43. tara on March 3, 2011 at 9:36 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to stay injury free, but also PR in the 1600m and 3200m races.

  44. Yolande on March 3, 2011 at 9:37 pm

    My spring goal is to practice more hot yoga (I’ve become
    addicted) and for a physical goal to have
    my lower abs visable 🙂

  45. Sarah on March 3, 2011 at 9:41 pm

    My spring goal is to master some yoga arm balances!

  46. mary on March 3, 2011 at 9:41 pm

    My spring goal is to continue to eat clean. I’m so much better for it, and so is my family. By the way, I’ve never had a macaroon. Would love to try it!

  47. ashley nicole on March 3, 2011 at 9:45 pm

    hey girlie! my spring goal is more of a mental challenge to listen to my body with owrking out and not push myself “balls to the wall” in everything at all the time. i just want to find balance in fitness. thanks for the opportunity at these yummies!

  48. Katie on March 3, 2011 at 9:45 pm

    Finish my upcoming half-marathon with average 8:00 min/mi pace!

  49. Allison @ PickyEatingRD on March 3, 2011 at 9:45 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to find my passion for running again. It is almost Spring so running outside will become an option again!

  50. Amy on March 3, 2011 at 9:48 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to finish the half-marathon I signed up for. Hopefully in an upright position! 🙂
