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

    Those macaroons sound delish! My spring goal is to try new things as they come up. Once the snow melts I would like to go hiking more with friends. I want to try being consistent with pilates and if someone wants to go to a fitness class, I’ll try it!

  3. Simone on March 3, 2011 at 10:37 am

    my spring fitness goal is to complete my first half marathon, May 29th!

  4. Amanda on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    Spring fitness goal since the Army is moving my husband and I across the country is to meet some new running buddies and hopefully explore some base trails! Good idea with the roons! Love lemons!

  5. Jordana on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    My spring fitness goal is to seriously get my head in the game for my marathon in May and actually acheive my goal time!

  6. Victoria on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    My spring fitness goals are to just keep getting out there to walk/jog/run and have been adding yoga/pilates to the mix and to just find new things to do that don’t cost much and keep me active…’roons please 🙂

  7. Hollie on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    ‘ROOOONS! Those look so yummy. 🙂

    My spring fitness goal is to get a little faster and beat my last half time in May. Also, to add a little muscle and change the shape of my body a bit! Here’s hoping. 🙂

  8. Lauren W. on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    My spring fitness goal is to compete in my first race in 10 years! I’m pumped an nervous…I used to throw up before races on the starting line because I’d be so nervous (sccchweet). Hoping I’ve aged out of that one!

    Rooooooons be mine! (*fingers are crossed*)

  9. kt on March 3, 2011 at 10:38 am

    Yummy macaroon combo!

    My spring fitness goal is to ski every weekend. Weird “spring” goal, but we will have snow on the ground until May. 🙂

  10. Martha Lilian on March 3, 2011 at 10:39 am

    My spring fitness goal is to complete my first 5K and start training for my first 10K

  11. Jen on March 3, 2011 at 10:40 am

    My spring fitness goal is to continue attending classes at the gym (love!) and incorporate more yoga! I’ve also start the C25K program =) I need to get in shape!

  12. Jessica @ Dairy Free Betty on March 3, 2011 at 10:40 am

    YUM… these sound amazing!!

    My spring fitness goal is……….. to get outside and walk in the beautiful trails behind my house more. School has taken over my life and I’m missing the time to do fun stuff like that!!

    Thanks!

  13. Valerie on March 3, 2011 at 10:40 am

    My spring fitness goal is to be more balanced in my workouts. I want to practice yoga more often instead of always going ballz-to-the-wall at the gym every day!

  14. Julie on March 3, 2011 at 10:40 am

    Run a half marathon by end of May!

  15. Jessica@FruitandVeggieTales on March 3, 2011 at 10:41 am

    My spring fitness goal (cliche I know) is to lose the last of my baby weight but most importantly to get back into an exercise routine and be healthy! I have a lot of core work to do since I had pregnancies very close together. I know I will have less back pain when my core is strengthened! I am very much looking forward to that! 🙂

  16. Steph on March 3, 2011 at 10:41 am

    Yay roons! My spring fitness goal is get into a regular routine that includes yoga at least once a week.

  17. Cassie on March 3, 2011 at 10:41 am

  18. Lindsay on March 3, 2011 at 10:42 am

    My spring fitness goal is to run a 10K at the end of May, I had a baby in the fall and am working on getting my butt back in shape 😉

  19. Jackie on March 3, 2011 at 10:42 am

    My spring goal is to become a spin instructor. Feel free to send advice!

    • Jessica on March 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

      Spinning.com is a good starting point.

      I’ll gladly answer any questions or share any info, so email me at jessieboo24 at gmail.

  21. MMiller on March 3, 2011 at 10:42 am

    Lets see…my spring fitness goal…is to just get active! I just started going back to the gym, so my goal is to go at least every other day! I have been such a sedentary person the last couple years (mostly because of health) and I just need to get out and move!

  22. Lauren on March 3, 2011 at 10:42 am

    Finish INSANITY! …and hopefully look (and feel) great 🙂

  23. Sierra on March 3, 2011 at 10:43 am

    My spring fitness goal is to add strength training to the mix. I’ve been doing a TON of Zumba, but I think I really need to tone more and muscles burn more calories at rest than fat too. Win-win! 🙂

  24. Natalie S on March 3, 2011 at 10:43 am

    Oooh, yum!!

    My Spring fitness goal is to work on toning up these arms for my wedding dress 😀

  25. Jessica on March 3, 2011 at 10:43 am

    My spring fitness goal is to get back to running outside. It’s been a long and horrible winter and the treadmill just doesn’t do it for me.

    Plus I finally signed up for my first 5K, so I have no choice but to get out there.

  26. Brianne on March 3, 2011 at 10:43 am

    Do more yooooga!

  27. Ann on March 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    I’ve definitely fallen off the wagon a bit this winter. I can’t wait for it to warm up so I can get outside and run and walk!

  28. Allison @ Food For Healing on March 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    i want some of your ‘roons sooo bad!
    my spring goal is to get biking! i want to bike lots and lots and get tons of fresh air and exercising. I’m sick of these winter blues and need to get out!

  29. Brittany on March 3, 2011 at 10:44 am

    I Just found out I’m pregnant!!!!!! So my spring fitness goal is to walk as much as possible and keep up a less intense weights routine! Wish me luck cuz so far I just want to sleep, sleep , sleep!!!

    • Fitnessista on March 3, 2011 at 11:01 am

      wow, congrats!!

  30. Anne @ Your Kind o Salad on March 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    Can’t wait to get back to running my beloved river route! I was walking it the other night and all I could think was “dayam, I used to own this every morning last summer” Can’t wait to get back into it!

  31. VeggieGirl on March 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    My spring fitness goal = be able to hold chaturangas for a longer amount of time. I can hold for maybe 2 minutes, but I want to go the distance in my healthier, stronger body.

  32. Beth on March 3, 2011 at 10:45 am

    This new flavor sounds amazing! My spring goals are to start running in the morning and do yoga at least twice a week.

  33. Jennie @ Designed to be Fit on March 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    To run a sub 2 hour half marathon! And eat lots of macaroons!

  34. Jen on March 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    My fitness goal is to get pregnant. Can that be a goal?? 🙂

  35. melissa lillie on March 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    wow- I would love to win these!
    I am competing in a triathlon with my dad (who is 64) and my boyfriend. I asked my dad if he would be on a relay team with me for my birthday and I was thrilled when he said yes. He will swim, I will bike and my boyfriend will run. That is my favorite spring goal!

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

    Meyer lemon and lavender!! Ahh love it.

    Spring fitness goa: incorporate regular yoga practice into my life! I just bought a 2 month unlimited deal to a local yoga studio for super cheap, sooooo I hope it works.

  37. Alana on March 3, 2011 at 10:46 am

    My spring fitness goal is to go from riding my bike 10km to 25km by the end of the summer! Have a great day Gina!!

  38. Katie on March 3, 2011 at 10:47 am

    My spring fitness goal is to get my mom to come to more yoga classes with me. She started coming with me a month ago and I can tell she is already seeing the benefits – she is much calmer and more relaxed. Her work really stresses her out, so to see her calm makes me happy. 🙂

  39. Dee on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My spring fitness goal is to work out at least 3X a week. It needs to happen. 🙂

  40. Mo on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    I have an odd Spring fitness goal – had a steroid shot for a shoulder problem at Christmas time – it left an actual dent in my shoulder, muscle completely atrophied. So I look like I got shot. My goal is to try to offset that with gains in muscle in that area! Trust me, weirdest thing ever. Take care and thanks for the giveaway.

  41. Taylor on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My fitness goal for the spring is to stay in half marathon shape and stay away from injuries! I may also flirt a bit more with the idea of a triathlon 🙂

  42. Kristin Guess on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My goal is to run a 5k in 27 minutes. My fastest time last year when I was super, ridiculously out of shape was 45 minutes and my most recent time was 30 minutes. I have been running a lot lately and I know I can do it. Yummy roons…git in mah belly!!!!=)

  43. Amanda G. on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My spring fitness goal is to hike 13 miles around a local state park. I’m already up to 7, so I’m getting closer!! Yay for ‘roons!

  44. Emily on March 3, 2011 at 10:48 am

    My spring goal is to complete my first half marathon with my sister and best friend. We thought it would be fun to do together before I get married this fall!

  45. aj on March 3, 2011 at 10:49 am

    Yum. I’ve watched the macaroons make an appearance in soooo many posts, I can only imagine lemon lavender ones would be delish!

    My spring goal is to train enough to beat my sprint triathlon time! My long distance man is coming home FOR GOOD in June, and since he is my biggest cheerleader, I know he would be thrilled to see me beat my time and with him waiting at the finish line!

  46. Trisha on March 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    My spring fitness goal is to get off the treadmill and enjoy the outdoors, walks, bike rides with the kids, beach trips, etc.

  47. Annie D @ Annie's Simple Life on March 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    Those look DELISH!

    My spring fitness goal is to get ready for our Disney World vacation in September! I just plain need to START MOVING again!! My eating is clean, but all I do all day is SIT! UGH! I am going to try to do either 20 minutes in the morning, over my lunch hour, or in the evening every day.

  48. Samantha on March 3, 2011 at 10:50 am

    My Spring fitness goal is to do 2 pull-ups! I made this goal for August but you just inspired me to bump it up 🙂 ROOOONS!!!!!

  49. Jill on March 3, 2011 at 10:51 am

    My spring fitness goal is to take up yoga…i just found a new yoga studio i would love to try out! I enjoy running, and could definitely use a good stretch as I increase mileage.

  50. Chrissie on March 3, 2011 at 10:51 am

    My spring fitness goal is to look good for my wedding in June.
