It’s Roon Time, Baby

Hi friends ๐Ÿ™‚ How are you? Hope youโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 farmerโ€™s market ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 Bellย  – Paul Mitchellโ€™s new line for pets.

shampoo

Bella loved it!

She smells like sweet oatmeal now ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Jill on January 4, 2011 at 7:55 pm

  10. Jenny on January 4, 2011 at 7:55 pm

    In 2011 I will complete 5 5K races! I will also work on ending any and all “Fat Talk” Especially focusing on training myself to recognize when negative self-talk begins to creep in and turn off that switch! ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. alicia on January 4, 2011 at 7:57 pm

    My goal this year is to get my kids, all 3 boys, to stop ewwing at the veggies on their plate. I want to make healthier meals with less canned and boxed foods. Whew, it’s a tough one, but my oldest did eat some of his brussell sprouts last night! Hopefully, by April, I think 4 months is a good time frame. Can’t wait to hear the news tomorrow!!!



  15. Jess on January 4, 2011 at 7:57 pm

    I will run the Boilermaker 15k this summer! So far the longest I’ve run is a 5k, so I’m looking forward to a new distance to train for!!

  17. Wendy Elliot on January 4, 2011 at 7:58 pm

    My goal is to take control of all of my family photos, especially the one’s collecting dust on my hard drive. Too precious to go to waste on my computer. Thanks for the chance to win the yummies!



  18. Alana on January 4, 2011 at 7:58 pm

  23. Elyse Guest on January 4, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    I want to lose atleast 50 pounds by January 2011… I have about 100 pounds to lose and I want to work on my health this year. So far this year I’ve been sick so I haven’t had much time to do anything workout wise!



    • Elyse Guest on January 4, 2011 at 8:08 pm

      I obviously meant January 2012! 50 pounds in a month might be a bit much!



  24. nicole on January 4, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    I will run 1,500+ miles (unless I get seriously injured) by December 31, 2011! I will also run a 5k in less than 22:30 by December 31, 2011.



  25. Lita on January 4, 2011 at 8:01 pm

  26. Bianca on January 4, 2011 at 8:01 pm

  28. Hotchick on January 4, 2011 at 8:01 pm

    My goal is to not be lazy. I’ve been a slacker in all areas if life: work, working out, doing things. I’d like to be more like you! Tackle a bunch of errands, and workout and go to work all in one day:)



  29. Erica on January 4, 2011 at 8:01 pm

    I will open up my very own sweet shop/cafe, hopefully in the next few years!



  30. Morgan on January 4, 2011 at 8:01 pm

    my goal is to accept my body for what it is.. and not stress SO much if i miss a workout or decide to eat too much chocolate. I want to appreciate it everyday and stop judging it all the time, my body that is!



  31. Kate @ Spoonful of Vigor on January 4, 2011 at 8:02 pm

  36. Madison W. on January 4, 2011 at 8:05 pm

  37. Jen on January 4, 2011 at 8:05 pm

  45. Amanda G on January 4, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    I will make more of an effort to call and get together with my out-of-town friends and family more often – time always seems to slip away from me, which is no excuse!!



  46. Brianna on January 4, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    In 2011 I will run my first half marathon in August ๐Ÿ™‚



  47. Tara on January 4, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    I will rid myself of the negative self talk about my body



  48. Ana on January 4, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    My goal for this first semester is to do well on my grad school classes. I took two classes last semester and along with being a mom, wife, cook and everything else that married life (+ child) entails my semester was one of the busiest in my life. I did really well on my classes though, so this semester I am trying 3 classes and my goal is to finish all three and do well on them too! I know it won’t be easy, but I am prepared and having done well last semester has given me a lot of courage and strength to face all that is to come my way this year in school! I truly learned that it is never late to learn or start something new, even if you are 31!
    Ana



  49. Sarah on January 4, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    I will be able to bump up my weights during BodyPump by March 2011!



  50. Kelli on January 4, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    I resolve to buy your book and make your macaroons by the next day!!!
    Just kidding (kinda). I resolve to learn how to bake a fabulous loaf of sourdough bread by the end of the year, but I hope it doesn’t take that long to make a good one.
