A Dilemma [Giveaway Time]
Hi friends! Howโs your morning going? The weekend is in sight!
(LOVE love lilies)
Sorry to those of ya who wanted a better shot of my shoes yesterday! Iโm new at posting fashion-y stuff, so I appreciate your feedbackโฆ Iโm a work in progress ๐ Here ya go:
So, I wasnโt quite sure what I was going to blog about today.
Itโs been challenging to get back in the routine after being away, and Iโve been munching omelets for dinner.
So delicious, so easy.
After last nightโs omelet, I got inspiredโฆ
and made some Meyer Lemon Lavender Macaroons ๐
Theyโre just like my classic blonde macaroons, with refreshing, sweet citrus, and a fragrant lavender aroma.
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 ๐
Want some?
Just leave a comment with your spring fitness goal and Iโll be happy to send some along to one lucky winner. Iโll choose the future roon-holder tomorrow (Friday) am when I wake up ๐ [Everyone can enter- one of my last giveaway winners was in England!]
Off to work I go. See ya this afternoon! <3
xoxo

To keep up running outside even when it is too hot!
My goal is to get more consistent in the gym…I used to do great but life has got in the way…gotta get back on track!
My spring goal is to try a new class at a studio that just opened near me: The Bar Method. I have been wanting to try it, but too shy to go by myself. Hopefully I can get in there soon ๐
My spring goal is to try to walk for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week. I keep entering these, one time I will get picked! ๐ Thanks for the giveaway!
I just started taking CorePower yoga classes. They put a lavender-lemon washcloth on your forehead during final savasana; it has made me decide I need more lavender in my life.
My spring fitness goal is four yoga classes a week, running 10 or so miles, planning food for my weekends and not just during the week in an effort to lose 10 pounds in time for a late spring trip to Costa Rica. The opportunity just came up, and it has been great motivation. Lavender-lemon macaroons may not fit well into my spring fitness goal, but at least they will fill the bill for getting more lavender in my life!
My Spring goal is to complete Insanity! I am doing a “pre-Insanity-Insanity” couple weeks and then committing completely after Spring Break. I am SO excited (and ravenous, actually!)
Hi! First off I’m so excited your pilot will be home soon! As a Navy girlfriend, I definitely understand what it’s like to hurry and wait for the grand reunion. ๐
My spring fitness goal is to finally break off the same plateau weight! I’ve been at the same weight for about 9 months now..and I’ve finally enlisted the help of a personal trainer that I start seeing on Tuesday. I have a cruise planned in May and I’m hoping to make a dent in what’s left to goal by then!
meyer… lemon… lavender… macaroons… they sound positively lovely
fitness goal: go for a 15 minute run 3 times a week. continue with 2 yoga classes a week.
hmmm… i guess my spring fitness goal is to get OUT of the gym for a workout :):) I’ve been cooped up way too long in the cold ๐
my goal for the spring is to continue changing up my workouts and get back to being able to run 5 miles at a time… i used to love my long runs in the summer, but haven’t gotten myself into good enough running shape these past few summers to break 3 miles at a time.
My spring fitness goal is to train for (and complete) a 5k! I’ve done a few walking ones, and I really want to try running one-currently not a runner, but the Couch to 5k workouts start tomorrow!
My goal was to run a half marathon on May 1st (which I’d already registered for) and run it in under 2 hours again. However, I sprained my ankle 6 weeks ago and after seeing the doctor yesterday as it has still been bothering me after runs, I’ve been advised to avoid high-impact stuff for a few more weeks so it can fully heal. So… I guess my new goal is to heal my ankle and then train for a run – in Ottawa, where I’m moving in June!
My spring goal is to stay on track with my yearly mileage goal of 500 miles & to do more yoga!
My spring fitness goal is to lose 15 lbs by increasing my activity level and healthy eating. I gave up soda last year and already feel so much better. With my husbands ACSC graduation ball in June I want to look my best in my ball gown! Thanks for for writing such a great blog!
Your fellow AF Spouse

Get some muscle defination and tone up for summer! ๐
My goal is to get back into running regularly outside! And just getting myself to exercise consistently in general.
OH MY YUM! My fitness goal is to maintain a weight training program while marathon training, whenever I start training cycles I always neglect strength training, not this time!
my spring summer goal is take more of my workouts outside…here we go, hiking!
Spring/Summer goal: Tighten and tone, and burn fat. Going to be focusing on a lot of low-impact activities (walking, spin, etc) and throw in a high intensity workout at least once a week, maybe twice. Plus lots of strength training!
mine is to be able to run on the treadmill without turning tomato colored, and run a half marathon in september!
My spring fitness goal is to just keep up with some exercise as life gets crazy and we’re buying a house! It doesn’t matter what kind of workout, just something most days of the week.
Train for another half marathon! Preferably one with a fun destination ๐
Spring goal is yoga three times a week, running twice a week, and heavier lifting twice a week. All in an effort to loose 10 lbs and get into my prebaby bikini for summer ๐
I was really consistent with working out in February (Bar Method x 3/week, 1 spin and 1-2 runs) and now I’d like to add twice weekly interval-style workouts to help shed a stubborn layer of winter padding that’s keeping my toned muscles from showing! I’m thinking one Tabata-style workout and one Barry’s Bootcamp class (thanks Groupon!) a week.
Spring goal is to do zumba 3 times a week, run twice and lift weights. I’d like to tone up my arms to look fabulous in a summer dress for my trip to California (1st time) in May.
My fitness goal is to have more defined muscles and clean up my eats.
My goal is to work on my total body fitness rather than just running and lifting. And to quit the “no carb left behind” diet ๐
I’m working towards being able to do a real pull-up and keeping in good shape ๐
My spring fitness goal is to get outside as much as possible. I’m currently working and going to school full time AND dealing with deployment. I’m a hot mess to say the least and being outside is like a free therapy sesh ๐
my spring goal is to do more yoga! i want to focus on being strong and flexible.
Bikrma + Vinyasa yoga, 4 – 5 times a week!
My goal this spring is to get rid of the unhealthy foods in my diet,start running again, and to do more community service. ๐
My goal is to do abs at least 4 times a week – of, and to pole vault over 9 feet. I go to a small college where sports aren’t very strong.
My fitness goal is to be able to run and race without outwardly expressing my discomfort and stress!
My spring fitness goal is to finish a mini-marathon at the end or April. This is the big season for races in my town (Louisville, KY).. Last weekend was a 5k, next weekend is a 10k, and at the end of the month is a 10 miler. I’m signed up for the whole triple crown, but to finish the mini would make me so happy! I actually made an inspiration board that only had to do with running/jogging as a huge fitness goal of mine, so to finish the mini, without being kicked off the course, is my goal for this year!
my spring fitness goal is to get back into running! i have taken the winter off and need to build back up for an august half marathon!
my goal is to stay consistent. i will do really well for awhile and then fall off the face of the earth for a week. i am trying to keep a log, because that usually helps me stay on track!
My spring fitness go is to get back into a fitness routine. Life has been so busy lately that working out is sporatic at best for me but when I do work out it’s a reminder of how good it felt to devote an hour 5x a week to fitness.
My goal is to start up with yoga again!
My spring fitness goal is to run my first half marathon!
My spring fitness goal is to stay injury free and focused through my marathon training. I need to listen to my body and macaroons to keep me going!
I’ve been out with an injured back, so I plan to get back to my routine and re-build my endurance:) I love anything lemon and anything lavender, so the thought of combining the two is mind-blowing…yum!!!!
Since it’s summer all year round where i’m at (india!!) i’m gonna continue to try incorporate more outdoor running and be mindful of what goes into my mouth!
My spring goal is to work out at least 4 times a week and to build muscle. I drool every time I see a picture of those macaroons yummm ๐
I have always been very consistent with my exercising, but i tend to fall off my diet from time to time. My goal is to take control of my diet by planning my meals and sticking to them!
Im hoping to up my strength training so that I can get my arms nice and tiiightt as well as improve my endurance and up my resistance on the elliptical for long periods of time
My spring fitness goal is to pick up my pace with running and to start focusing on time instead of distance for awhile. And, also strictly adhere to cleaning up my diet and cutting out the unnecessary ‘clutter’.
