It’s Roon Time, Baby

January 4, 2011 |

Hi friends 🙂 How are you? Hope you’re having a wonderful day so far <3

I started mine off with a product call and a BodyPump class with a friend. BodyPump is pretty much rocking my world, cheesy music and singing instructors aside 🙂 I push myself way harder during BP than when I do weights on my own.

Post-workout snack:

pancakes

Perfect protein pancakes!

They were a little on the burned side, but I covered it up with almond butter and a splash of prickly pear syrup from the farmer’s market 😉

syrup

This afternoon was filled with errands and to-dos, then I decided stinky Bella needed a date with the bathtub.

My madre bought these for Bell  – Paul Mitchell’s new line for pets.

shampoo

Bella loved it!

She smells like sweet oatmeal now 🙂

  19. Amber L on January 4, 2011 at 7:43 pm

    I love Bella!! She is too cute!

    My goal is to finally tackle the clutter and organize our home office. I want it to be super organized, so that when baby making time comes this summer, and said baby is conceived, we will easily be able to move the office to a spare bedroom and make it a future play room. Complete organization will be done by May 2011!

  43. MMiller on January 4, 2011 at 7:50 pm

    My goal is to get out of bed and walk everyday! Hoping this will get some of my energy back! I just can’t seem to get it back after my second round of chemo (and my ongoing chemo) and my stroke! I am hoping to see and feel a noticeable change by Easter!



  44. Ilana on January 4, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    I’m going to complete my Pilates certification, by August 2011, most likely before-hand. I’m already halfway there so I’m definitely giving myself plenty of leeway in this.



  45. Kim H on January 4, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    My goal is to declutter. I will start by cleaning out mine and the kids’ closets and will donate at least 50 things by this weekend!

    Big goal for the year: erase my student debt before my July wedding!!



  47. Kate on January 4, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    My goal is to quit cursing so much!! I’ve already started a swear jar, which has quickly turned into a swear bucket. Apparently my friends and family think my language is unladylike. What a bunch of a-holes 😉



    • Fitnessista on January 4, 2011 at 8:13 pm

      LOL



    • Angie on January 4, 2011 at 8:32 pm
