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™‚

  4. Casey Thomas on January 4, 2011 at 9:35 pm

    One of my goals is to do strength training 2 times per week. I love my yoga and cardio but need to focus more on building strength. I have already started this and will be doing it every week of 2011.
    Thank YOU for your blog!

  36. Ann on January 4, 2011 at 9:43 pm

    Hi Gena, Do you have suggestions for a good weekly workout schedule for someone with low , low energy and adrenal fatigue? I am also underweight. But I need to do cardio and strength. I just don’t know how to put together a good plan for both week to week. I really need rigid plan and structure , so I feel I accomplish things. The trouble is that my muscles are so stiff and ragged. I don’t know if its just from sitting all the time, or what…but. I am truly desperate for some help. Please ๐Ÿ™‚



  37. Erica on January 4, 2011 at 9:44 pm

    My goal is to practice mindful eating. By Dec 2011 I will have overcome my emotional eating habits by reflecting a little bit more everyday.



  38. Allie (Live Laugh Eat) on January 4, 2011 at 9:44 pm

    I will have a job by the time my parents get sick of me…jk by March 2011 ๐Ÿ™‚

  42. MaryZ on January 4, 2011 at 9:46 pm

    My goal is go with the flow…I always seem to have a plan. The problem with a plan is, I miss out on some spontanous fun. So, the goal is to enjoy a little more..lighten up!



  43. Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter on January 4, 2011 at 9:46 pm
