How bout a roon?

February 3, 2011 |

Heyyyyyy 😀 How are you? It’s almost Friday! I guess the Superbowl is this weekend? No idea who’s playing, haha.

After class last night (we had 6 people! yeahh!), I came home for a super simple yet delicious dinner:

dinner

Roasted fennel and carrots, red quinoa and organic pinto beans

While I made dinner, I also packed today’s lunch so I wouldn’t have to deal with it this morning 😉

salad

Salad with bell peppers, fresh guacamole (onion, avocado, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, sea salt, lemon juice, pepper), salsa for dressing + a blueberry smoothie + an apple

    My favorite fitness move would have to be any form of the plank exercise. I love strengthening my core!



  9. Amy on February 3, 2011 at 7:44 pm

    I’m all about walking lunges. Those buggers sneak up on you. One minute you are moving along and the next, your leggies are on FIRE!

  15. Kristie on February 3, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    I love benh press! Would love to try your macaroons. Is the recipe going to be in your book?



  21. Allie J on February 3, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    I love planks because they work every muscle, and you can do them anywhere! I try to hold it just a few more seconds every time- and I feel awesome after I do!



  22. Erin on February 3, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    Lunges! I love the burn and I love my butt!

  38. Joelle (The Pancake Girl) on February 3, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    Side plank! I’m not sure why haha but I always do them at the gym, even though I’m horrible at all strength moves.



  39. Toronto Girl West on February 3, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    Ooooooo pick me!!!! 🙂

  47. Rebecca on February 3, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    i’ve really been liking “skaters”…i guess they are like jumping side to side bowler’s lunges, love that they get your HR up and make your legs burn!



  48. Brooke on February 3, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    There is something so empowering about squats. They make me feel so strong almost immediately!



  49. Lisa on February 3, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    Leg lifts lying down on your side – great for spontaneous exercise while watching trash tv!



  50. Raya on February 3, 2011 at 8:35 pm

    I still can’t believe I’ve never had the chance to try one of your macaroons! So here goes! (I already like you on FB) And my favorite workout move…hmmm. I have a love/hate relationship with jump squats but I’ll go with those!!! 🙂
