So, I wasnโ€™t quite sure what I was going to blog about today.

Itโ€™s been challenging to get back in the routine after being away, and Iโ€™ve been munching omelets for dinner.

omelet omelet

So delicious, so easy.

After last nightโ€™s omelet, I got inspiredโ€ฆ

lemon

and made some Meyer Lemon Lavender Macaroons ๐Ÿ™‚

Theyโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

Want some?

Just leave a comment with your spring fitness goal and Iโ€™ll be happy to send some along to one lucky winner. Iโ€™ll choose the future roon-holder tomorrow (Friday) am when I wake up ๐Ÿ™‚ [Everyone can enter- one of my last giveaway winners was in England!]

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

    I just tried raw macaroons for the first time from Whole Paycheck! They were really good, but these sound better ๐Ÿ™‚ My spring fitness goal is to lose 25lbs by the time my wedding rolls around in July and also to start running more since I just signed up for the chicago marathon!!

  2. Jaclyn on March 3, 2011 at 1:27 pm

    To run my first 10K

  3. Erin on March 3, 2011 at 1:27 pm

  4. Beth on March 3, 2011 at 1:28 pm

  6. Kayla on March 3, 2011 at 1:28 pm

    Spring fitness goal — get a buff bod for my wedding! I’m running my first half marathon in April, then I plan on shredding with Jillian Michaels for 30 days to get toned. I hope it works!

  7. Gretchen @ Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen! on March 3, 2011 at 1:28 pm

    I’m running my 2nd 5K at the end of this month, so my Spring fitness goal is to knock the socks off of the last 5K I did (on Thanksgiving.) I think I can do it, but I haven’t been training too well (er, at all, lately) so my sub-goal is to ACTUALLY START RUNNING, hahaha.

  8. Sharelle @ essential-ingredient on March 3, 2011 at 1:29 pm

    i’ve been wanting to try your macaroons for so long. ๐Ÿ™‚
    my spring fitness goals are to train for a 15K that i’m running in may. I’m already almost 2 weeks into it. ๐Ÿ˜€
    Also, to start doing yoga more often again!

  9. Allison on March 3, 2011 at 1:31 pm

  10. Laura on March 3, 2011 at 1:31 pm

    I am getting ready for the Warrior Dash in June, so my goal is to get super fit for that! I want to be able to complete every obstacle on the day of the race. I have been working out 4 days a week!

  11. Kimberly @ Healthy Strides on March 3, 2011 at 1:32 pm

    I’m working on my upper body strength. I am 5 months preggo, and I figure I have 4 months to get used to all that lifting, bending and carrying ๐Ÿ˜‰

  12. Holly on March 3, 2011 at 1:33 pm

    I want to set a PR in my 10k (3/19) and do well in my 10M (4/3) AND 1/2 Marathon (4/30) that I am training for!!

  13. Jen Correa on March 3, 2011 at 1:33 pm

  21. Clare @ Fitting It All In on March 3, 2011 at 1:38 pm

    Mmm lavender always reminds me of my trip to France.
    And My goal this spring is to run my first marathon!

  22. Natalie F. on March 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to continue with my exercise regimen of spinning and boot camps, but also incorporate outside running once the weather gets better! I have a group of friends that are marathon runners and want me to tag along — so I hope by the time I get out there I’ll actually be able to keep up with them! ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. Cecilia on March 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    My spring fitness goal is actually to be less goal-oriented with my fitness. This includes, but is not limited to: stopping and smelling the flowers on a run and taking charleston lessons.

  24. Heather on March 3, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to cut down my 5k time of about 35 minutes to 30 minutes. Yes it’s only 5 minutes, but they can seem like forever when you’re coming back after an injury haha!

  25. Allison on March 3, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    I use to be super super (ok obsessively) motivated and i always got my workout no matter what, now im a little more laid back but that can lead to skipping workouts so my spring goal is to get my sweat motivation back and to stop skipping the gym!

    (my other spring goal is to eat some macaroons!)

  26. Gina on March 3, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to start training for a triathlon!!! I am not a strong swimmer, I am scared of riding bikes and running is no fun!!! So, I’ll just put them all together and get over my fear somehow!! Gotta start somewhere!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Bojana on March 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    My spring fitness goals are:

    to start running the whole 30 minutes (i’m doing a begginer program From Runner’s World)
    to kick (my own) ass by attending a boxing class ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hope you do get that book deal!

    bye!

  28. Katherine on March 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    Running my first half marathon in April, and sticking with my training plan.

  29. Anu on March 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

  30. lian on March 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm

    alright. my spring fitness goal is to simply get moving. ๐Ÿ˜›
    i stopped dancing professionally last year, and haven’t quite mentally been able to get myself to do anything too active again, especially any dancing, because it just makes me a bit sad !
    but excuses aside, i really hafta get moving. ๐Ÿ™‚ i ordered a wicking shirt yesterday, as per your suggestions on that reader’s request you did a while back ๐Ÿ˜€ and when the weather warms up a bit, i want to start running a bit !

    My spring goals are to get back to my consistent workout schedule – it always slacks off during my busy season at work, and to focus on healthy eating and not overeating.

  38. J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) on March 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    Those omelets look delish!

    My spring fitness goal is to walk 5 or 6 miles daily! Sounds boring, but I love it!

    -master the fast salsa routine in zumba
    -trim 2 minutes of my road biking mile

  40. Amanda M on March 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to keep up with Body Pump and my 5k training plan. I’m starting to see new muscle definition and it’s awesome! ๐Ÿ™‚

  41. Claire on March 3, 2011 at 1:49 pm

  42. Kim on March 3, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    My spring goal is to get back into a regular yoga routine and start spinning. Also, I need to get my dog to lose weight and so he’s my new project.

  43. Tara on March 3, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    Those look SO yum! My spring fitness goal is to take advantage of the warming weather and get my work outs in BEFORE work! (I think I’ll use the yummy treats as rewards for when I do! (: )

  44. Morgan M on March 3, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    I want to run a half marathon!!

  48. Tayla on March 3, 2011 at 1:55 pm

    My spring fitness goal is to hike more mountains with a bagged lunch of MEYER LEMON MACAROONS! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  49. Beth on March 3, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    I’ve been eating omelettes for dinner, too. Last night’s featured herbed goat cheese alongside a baked sweet potato. Yes, easy and delicious.

    I’ve been sick with the cold/sinus thing that wouldn’t go away (like so many folks I know) all though the month of February, so my goal is to get moving again now that my energy is returning. January felt so great, so I was a little bummed that I lost many weeks of my usual routine. But now the fires are burning to get going, starting tonight with a gym trip and a pilates class.

    Meyer lemon & lavender sound like the perfect way to celebrate early spring!

  50. Stefanie @TheNewHealthy on March 3, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    My Spring fitness goal is to finish (and enjoy) my first 5k! I’m hoping I get the racing bug! ๐Ÿ™‚
