Newbie Roon
Hi guys! How are ya? Hope your day has been great so far <3 Thank you so much to those of you who left amazing feedback on the weights 101 post! There are a LOT of comments I want to respond to, so I’ll be sure to get back to ya tonight after yoga.
I didn’t make it to the p-a-r-k (does anyone else spell it out in front of their dogs, too?) with the puppers this morning. Hopefully I can take them tonight so that they can get out some energy 😉
I did, however, enjoy a lovely b-fast😀
B-fast cookie dough cereal with cacao nibs and butterscotch extract
Then I packed up lonchi/snacks to take to work:
-Carrot cake Larabar
-Organic GIANT plum
-salad
-hummus sandwich on kamut bread
Work today was a lot of fun. We learned about procedures and policies, I did some research, people-watched whilst eating my lunch, and met someone who speaks entirely in metaphors. I call that a good day 😀
When I got back to the casa, I had to taste test one of these beauties…
A new roon flavor! Double chocolate chip 😀
When the winner of Tina’s bake sale said to surprise her with the flavor, I figured I’d tried something new 😉 They’re not totally finished yet (still REALLY gooey in the center!) but taste foodgasmic.
Well I’m off to take a Bikram class and then heading to my aunt’s book club for Sarah’s Key. I haven’t read a third of the book yet, but figured I could drink a glass of vino and chat with the ladies.
GLEE IS ON TONIGHT!!! Ahhhhhhh!! 😀
xoxo

Something to think: How we treat others is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves <3
Today’s workout jam: “Empire State of Mind” Glee Cast version (yes, the song is a little old, but the version will rock your face off)

I adore your “something to think” and couldn’t agree more.
Those ‘roons look g-o-o-d! We should have a ‘roon making party! 🙂
ohmygodddddddd the roons sound amazing!!!
I’ve been making your breakfast cookie dough cereal A LOT lately 🙂 Genius, lady!
mmmm. That roon is making me crave roons! I must get one at some point today!
I so need to try one of those! Or maybe two, or three. I heard the Glee version the other night and loved it!
I really need to make cookie dough cereal one of these mornings. It looks so good and I always forget! I’m going to put a reminder post-it on my fridge. And your macaroons always look so good too!! What’s a girl have to do to get her hands on some of those roons? 😉
I love the ‘something to think about’! So true.
Every time I see your roons it makes me want to buy a food dehydrator!
thanks for the last couple episodes of “something to think”. they’ve really made me think about things going on for me and helped me out!!:)
double chocolate chip, *drool* sounds so yummy
Oh I wish I had won the roons in Tina’s sale. Double choc chip anything sounds awesome in my mind.
Enjoy the book club. I’ve always wanted to join one, but I like to read at my own pace, you know? But I do love to talk about books that I’ve read.
I like your “something to think about” — but sometimes I think I am so hard on myself and I don’t think I am that way towards others. But maybe I am? Ha– it really was something to think about 🙂
I always spell out w-a-l-k in front of my dog, or else she will get super excited and I don’t want to let her down! 😉
gahhh thank you for reminding me about GLEE!! I totally forgot!
I have to spell out WALK to Basil. and TREAT. and breakfast… and… 🙂
(He’s a good speller, though, and knows W-A-L-K…)
I don’t watch Glee, but I *LOVE* that song SO much, and the Glee version is AWESOME!
XO
That is one lucky bidder. Those macaroons sound great.
LOL we totally do the spell thing with our dog for “walk” and “out” too!!! recently she’s managed to figure out what it means when i spell “o-u-t” though so i need to come up with something new?!
Can’t wait for Glee!!! I want to read Sarah’s Key!
When we’re around my MIL’s dogs we all forget to spell out walk and the dogs FREAK OUT until they actually get a walk. It’s so cute, but it drives the MIL nuts.
I’m all about treat others the way you want to be treated… I also think I am the only person in So Cal that let’s another driver make a lane change when they put their blinker on… ;P Seems like more people should adopt this phil. …?
I’m going to try the b-fast cookie dough cereal tommorow- it looks wonderful!
oh my gosh i’m hyperventilating because i’m so stoked for Glee tonight!
i’ve heard great things about sarah’s key.
and can.not.wait. for glee tonight. bahhh!
Those macaroons sound heavenly. I still dream about the one I tasted at HLS…face rocking 🙂 Glad work is still going well for you!!
aww thanks girl! will you be at foodbuzz? i’ll bring more 🙂
Sarah’s Key is my mom’s FAVORITE book, she recommends it to everyone!
HI! I am not new to your blog but have been previously intimidated as far as comments go…..however I wanted to let you know that I am also an ACE certified Group instructor and (once I take my test) PT and LOVED your wts post! SUch good info and easy to follow for those who are starting out! Awesome! I actually referred one of my friends on a wt. loss journey over here today just for that! I also wanted to say that it might be fun living with your fam for a while because now you have taste-testers for your new and experimental recipes (sucha as the dbl choc macs)so you can take note of what will and will not be a big hit in the bakery you will inevitably have some day! Love it! Have a great evening!
Jessica
thank you so much!
Ohhh. That roon sounds heavenly!!!
And I’m so stoked for Glee. Although I won’t be watching it until tomorrow night. 🙁
GLEE!!! I heard on the radio this morning that tonight was THE night and immediately thought of you! LOL How crazy is it that I don’t know you IRL but know you like Glee probably just as much as I do!
So jealous of the person that won the macaroons. You don’t even have a business yet and already you have customers waiting anxiously for you opening day whenever it is!
hopefully i can finally do it when i find out where we’re moving!
you and those tasty macaroons! im sure the winner will enjoy them.
The new roons sounds amazing! I so wish I could have won the auction for them =)
I have to spell out p-a-r-k to my pup, too!
Hope you enjoy the rest of Sarah’s Key. I couldn’t put the book down. And yay for Glee (yes, their version is Empire State of Mind is awesome!)
So, my oven gets fixed on thursday and I’m thinking, since its supposed to finally get cool next week, i’m going to try my hand at roon making in the oven… Can’t wait! Maybe i’ll send YOU some!
So excited for Gleeeee!!! Sadly I will have to miss it tonight so it better be up on Hulu by tomorrow!
Your lunch looks amazing! And I always spell out park in front of my dog. I also spell out eat, potty, and bone because she knows those as well!
Gina where do I find that butterscotch extract!? I am dying to make that!
i have no idea! sabrina (rhodeygirltests) sent it to me
Gina! I have been reading your blog for a year or so now, and decided to leave my first comment 🙂 your “something to think about” hit a note with me. Just as you’re starting your new job in a new place, I just started something (kind of) new too…my final semester of college!! My mom emailed me this quote to start it off right: “If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” –Fred Rogers. Take care of yourself in Orlando and keep making the difference that you do, every day!
thanks so much for taking the time to say hi! good luck to you too with your final semester- you’re almost done!
yum! delicious! I love the roons!
I don’t really like coconut (I know, tragic) but I do LOVE chocolate. I may have to give this idea a whirl 🙂
Please, please, please share your ‘roon recipes! They always look so yummy!
Hey, hon…hope the you and the pups are doing well. Miss and love – me
miss and love, hottie <3
I hope that chocolate macaroon recipe gets perfected and you decide to share! That looks absolutely delicious!
I am in love with your cookie dough cereal!!!
so glad you like it!
You just reminded me I need to catch up on the episodes of Glee I haven’t seen from last season yet! Thanks!
I haven’t seen the episode where they sing Empire State of Mind, so I am heading to Grooveshark to listen now. 🙂
Sooooo looking forward to the macaroons! They look awesome and I love chocolate, so a double dose of it is perfect in my book!
I always spell out w-a-l-k in front of my dogs because the go crazy when the hear that word.
so awesome!!!
will you please send me an email and let me know what whole foods goodies i can get you — any faves or new things you want to try?
Oops- not sure what happened to the y’s in my last comment. They go crazy when they hear that word…
That is so weird that your aunt’s book club just read Sarah’s Key. My mother in law’s book club just read it, too. I haven’t read it yet but she invited me to come this week and have wine and chat with her friends yesterday. So weird, right?!!?! You in Orlando, me in Mississippi….so far away, yet so close. Ha!
Hope you’re LOVING Orlando and spending some QT with your familia!

Okay one more thing…I just saw that comment from your Pilot and I just teared up a little. So sweet. 🙂
Enjoy Bikram! I’m looking so forward to being back in Asheville and getting my sweaty groove on again!
The bit about spelling park made me laugh – my animals will perk their ears up at anything that remotely sounds like the word!
Hahah totally have to spell out “walk” (she gets wayyy tooo excited) and “bath” (bc she hates them wayyy too much)
hahah! viesa HATES the bath.. bella loves it!
I’m so jealous you get to do Bikram!!! Its my favorite way to practice yoga! Those roons look so yummy 🙂
Roons, Yoga, GLEE! Yes, my type of day. 😉
Loved the weights post earlier. I’m taking my AFAA Group Exercise test in a few months (which I’m nervous for–should I be!?) and I bookmarked your post so I can refer back to it once I’m teaching classes on my own!
Glad you are enjoying work 🙂 Thanks for all your inspiration.
don’t be nervous! make sure you know the study guide and you’ll be golden 🙂
Glad you had a good day at the new job. I have not been able to find Kamut bread, which brand do you use?
