  29. Jess on December 22, 2010 at 12:14 pm

    I’ve already liked the fitnessista on facebook :). I would love some new workout plans–especially with some HIIT, I’m getting kind of bored of the treadmill and my boring weights routine and think some fun workouts would help keep me going to the gym!! Is there going to be a winter shape up this year too??



  30. Erin on December 22, 2010 at 12:15 pm

    I’d love to see more of the same from you in 2011. I love your blog! (And I am literally dying to try one of your macaroons!)



  31. Jen on December 22, 2010 at 12:15 pm

  32. Jenn L on December 22, 2010 at 12:15 pm

  33. MB on December 22, 2010 at 12:15 pm

  36. Sierra on December 22, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    I would love to see more of what you have been doing! I love the workout ideas, recipes (esp. raw/vegan ones), and motivating tips. You’re so inspiring!



  37. Lisa on December 22, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    I’d like to see you post more about how to manage a long distance relationship. I’m in one, as are a lot of women/men that I know, so it would be cool to hear from you how working out/baking/life in general helps you with the situation!

    Also, I LOVE the 5 minute workouts. It would be cool to do one biweekly, as inspired by the new classes you’re taking etc.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!



  38. Beth on December 22, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    I have never commented, but wanted to say I enjoy reading your thoughts on healthy eating, exercise and the honesty of living your day to day life. I would love to see some recommendations for how to build muscle for super flexible people – I have a hard time toning muscle, especially the smaller muscle groups. And in general, I love seeing workout ideas and recipes. Oh, and I just bought Taking Charge of Your Fertility based on your recommendation. I’m newly married (month and a half!), but we’ve been together a long time and are ready for the next big adventure.

    Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing your life. All the best and Happy Holidays!



  39. hannah on December 22, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    I would love to see more workout ideas and photos of daily eats.



  40. Jyll on December 22, 2010 at 12:18 pm
