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™‚

    i want to work more strength training into my fitness routine!



  2. Brooke on January 4, 2011 at 8:24 pm

    I have LOTS of goals for the new year (22 to be exact), but they’re all reasonable and achievable! One of my top goals is to obtain a position in the engineering field by May 2011 (graduation!). This pretty much affects most (but not all) of the rest of my goals for the new year, so let’s hope that gets crossed off sooner rather than later! ๐Ÿ™‚



  3. Kristen on January 4, 2011 at 8:24 pm

    I am going to find peace within myself and not beat myself up – the first step to accomplishing all of my weight, career, and health goals.



  4. Jennifer in KY on January 4, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    I want to be able to run in the mini marathon on April 30, as of today the furthest I have gone is 5k.



  5. Kate on January 4, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    Run the Austin Marathon on February 20, 2011! ๐Ÿ˜€



  6. Stephanie on January 4, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    My goal is to be accepted into graduate school by April 2011.



  7. Kelli C on January 4, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    One of my many goals for 2011 is to read at least one novel every month!



  8. Shelby on January 4, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    My goal for 2011 is to be at my “happy weight” by september and to build up my cardio endurance



  9. Heather M on January 4, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    I have two goals. I really want to start running. I’m starting the couch to 5k program next week. And to lose 50lbs. I just want to get healthy!! I hope to do both by the end of the summer ๐Ÿ™‚



  10. Kerry on January 4, 2011 at 8:27 pm

  11. Brittany on January 4, 2011 at 8:28 pm

    the last sentence of your post has me in suspense! I would lovelovelove to win some of your famous macaroons! My goal for 2011 is to stay consistent with workouts… I tend to do really good for a month or two at a time and then slack for two months..then get serious again.. its an endless cycle for me that I want to beat! I want to make working out a priority for the rest of my life, not just the short term. Short term my goal is to tone up my body and get in perfect shape prior to a pregnancy sometime this year! I will be in bikini shape by march a.k.a. spring break!!



  12. Courtney (greeneyedrunner) on January 4, 2011 at 8:30 pm

    My main goal is to reach my fundraising minimum for Team in Training, culminating with the Country Music Marathon on April 30.

    Aside from that, my goal is to find a job by January 31!



  13. Angie on January 4, 2011 at 8:30 pm

    SO HAPPY for you about your book goal!!! Yeah!!

    LOVE your pup’s expression for that picture – priceless!!

    My goal this year?? Honestly, to get back into school and a routine… I plan on doing that for the summer session that starts in late June here. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I gotta finish my degree!



  14. Lisa on January 4, 2011 at 8:31 pm

    My goal for 2011 is to identify a passion that I want to pursue for a career and take at least one step toward it in the next month without regard to the criticism of others. It is time that I take control of my life and do what makes me happy without feel of judgment.

    Thanks!



  15. Ashley @ Will Run for Food on January 4, 2011 at 8:31 pm

    Yum! One of my goals this year is to set a half marathon PR by the fall!

    I will start my own health and wellness business!



  18. Sheema on January 4, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    I want to find a balance between working out and working…it’s hard as a student when there are so many social events going on! But even so, I would die to try the macaroons! I’ve never had one before, raw or not.



  19. Emily C. on January 4, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    My goal is to support my husband (i.e. wrangling our three kids so he can get his training runs in) in running his first half marathon in 10 years and running a few myself!



  20. Danielle on January 4, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    master intuitive eating by june/july and feel comfortable in my own skin for my oct wedding!!!



  21. Kat on January 4, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    For 2011 I want to more emotionally and physically healthy. I want to cut out more animal products in my diet and learn to cook more healthy choices.

    I would also like to win the lottery but until that happens, I guess I would like to pay off my credit card debt.



  22. Nicole A on January 4, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    I will finish grad school by May!



  23. sophie on January 4, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    I will quit my dead end job. ๐Ÿ™‚



  25. Kelly on January 4, 2011 at 8:34 pm

    One of my goals is to become more financially responsible and a more specific way I will be doing that is too save at least 75$ per pay cheque to put into a high interest savings account. I am DYING to try these roons!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Mary Frances on January 4, 2011 at 8:34 pm

    I will open my massage business by July 2012.

    Thanks!!! I am a new reader and love your website. You help me stay motivated and today after standing in 19 degree temperatures working 7 hours I came home and did not want to work out. So I sat down and surfed around on internet while warming up and after reading your post I said ok, I will get on my spin bike and lift weights. So thank you for helping me with working out and with eating good healthy foods.

    Peace and Light to you,

    Mary Frances



  29. Lauren on January 4, 2011 at 8:34 pm

  30. Jenna on January 4, 2011 at 8:35 pm

    I’m going to start running this year. And I’m going to start ASAP!



  31. Allie on January 4, 2011 at 8:35 pm

    My goal is to run a sub 3-hour marathon in Boston this April. Legs (and lungs) hurt just thinking about it ๐Ÿ™‚



  32. Lauren @NoFauxFood on January 4, 2011 at 8:35 pm

  34. Lauren @ Fun, Fit and Fabulous! on January 4, 2011 at 8:36 pm

    One of my goals for 2011 is to be more adventurous in the kitchen by trying at least one new recipe a week starting with the 2 I have picked out for this week! ๐Ÿ™‚ Book Deal….. How exciting!! I would read it for sure! ๐Ÿ™‚



  35. Alicia Brat on January 4, 2011 at 8:36 pm

    Those macaroons look DELICIOUS!!! Well, my goal for this year is to be 100% happy with the body I’ve been given. I’m in decent shape and I’m always working to get fitter, but I’ve struggled for a long time with appreciating the banging aspects of my body and not dwelling on the not so great ones. So by June, my birthday month, I’d like to have solid confidence in not just my body, buy myself as a person as well:)



  36. Ashleigh on January 4, 2011 at 8:37 pm

    My goal is to do better than my best in my school work. To not let anything break my focus in pursing my dream job as a pediatrics nurse.



  37. OntarioGirl on January 4, 2011 at 8:37 pm

    After losing 50 lbs already I will lose 20 more lbs to be at my goal weight before my boyfriend and I take a trip to Las Vegas in May 2011!!



  38. Ashleigh on January 4, 2011 at 8:38 pm

  39. Ashley on January 4, 2011 at 8:38 pm

    My goal is to stretch more and practice yoga at least once a week in the next year. I teach upwards of 12 group fitness classes a week and sometimes I forget to take care of my needs, and I think committing to yoga and stretching will help!

  43. Emily on January 4, 2011 at 8:39 pm

    I will look and feel my best when I get married in October this year–keep up with the weights and finally try BodyPump.



  44. Jen on January 4, 2011 at 8:39 pm

  50. Jenna on January 4, 2011 at 8:40 pm

    My goal is to work towards opening a health foods store, and accomplish this goal by June 2012. With inspiration from bloggers like you I’ve come closer to realizing how passionate I am about eating healthy foods and educating others ๐Ÿ™‚
