don’t pay any attention to the spanish title. i am just trying to embrace the mexican heritage i married into. with a last name like “gallegos”, you really have to know a few spanish words. (and with a first name like “janetha”, you have to have a lot of patience because everyone is going to say it wrong.. but that is a story for another day..) actually, “dos años” are two spanish words that i already knew before i was a gallegos. i know, i am so cultured.
so what does it all mean? well, you don’t have to know spanish to know that it means TWO YEARS.
two years of what, exactly?
well, two years of meals & moves. that’s what.
today.
april 20, 2011.
i don’t use that word that starts with a “B” and rhymes with smogiversary, so don’t even try to wish me a happy one.
instead, watch this video, from me to you.
and accept my sincerest thank you, from the bottom of my little blogger heart, for reading this little blog of mine.
i’m gonna let it shine.
for at least dos more años.
dos años giveaway ends saturday, april 23rd at midnight. or somewhere around there. i will announce the winner on sunday.. so just get your entry in before then.
oh, and if you didn’t take the time to watch the video.. then you are missing out on a sweet giveaway.
but i understand if you don’t want to watch the video.
i am a little loony.
best of luck!
thanks a million. and one. i love you guys so much. sappy, but true.
xo. janetha g.

I don’t like that b word either! So happy birthday to your blog. Better?
Is your last name pronounced with the double l making a y sound?
You are too cute, you sound exactly like I pictured you sounding, hope that isn’t weird?
I just wanted to say thank you for being so open and honest with your life and all that goes on in it, I know it can be hard to share all the not so nice details and I appreciate it! Send love and well wishes to your mom!
Haha! Loved the video! Happy 2 years!!! :D
I love reading your blog because you have such a wide variety of topics and you are also so open! :D
Great video and happy dos anos!!! I love to read your blog because I think you have a great personality and positivity about you that really shines through in everything you post. Also, I love casseroles and you have some baller casserole recipes :) Here’s to many more years of meals and moves!!!
i just absolutely LOVE your blog. I have gotten a lot of great new exercise ideas from you that i never knew existed. i’m really intrigued by the body for life challenge. I can’t wait to see what the next years bring for you!
Great video, love your pup! I read your blog because I who you are as a person comes through- it’s not just “this is what i ate and what i did.” :)
Hi, Janetha, I read your blog because you’re honest.
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I love me some peanut butter and have been dying to try the Mighty Maple… I’m not sure how I even stumbled upon your blog.. but you’ve been very inspirational! I did body for life after I had my daughter almost 10 years ago and lost all my pregnancy weight.. which I have gained back over the years and have now been inspired by you to do it again!!! Thanks for sharing your stories… and for giving me more healthy food/dinner ideas! Oh.. and have you tried the Alexia Sweet Potato Tater tots? too die for! :)
Your blog is defintely one of the blogs that I read on a daily basis. I love your recipes and workout routines, keep em coming! Happy 2 yrs, ready for some more!
hi janetha, i just started reading your blog a few weeks ago, but i really love it. i love that you’re local, so i always feel like i know what you’re talking about, like i’m in on a secret. i also love that you hipped me to the cali’s tofu scramble blend. i’m going to pick some up this weekend.
congrats on 2 years!
Happy 2 years of blogging!! I love to read your blog because you are very real. You are so honest and open about your life and I appreciate that so much. All the best to you and your family…puppies included.
Happy Dos Anos!
I read your blog because I find you a breath of fresh air. You’re real, down to earth, and I enjoy reading about you, your family and your road to health. I look forward to reading every day. :-D
i love your blog cause you are awesome! :) you keep it real and i think that’s rare in the blog world…keep it up!
Happy 2 years of blogging!!! I learned about Mighty Maple peanut butter from your blog… and you’re right it is amazing!!!
Congrats on your dos anos and thanks for offering the giveaway! I love all the casseroles you put on you blog! I’m a casserole fan too!
Your video is SO SWEET! I think we should all thank you as well for having such a wonderful blog we can all look forward to read every day! so THANK YOU! :) And happy Dos Anos!
I love your blog because every post is so captivating and really makes me think about things outside of just fitness and healthy eating. Along with that, you have great advice and tips to pass along, and I can really relate to many of your posts.
Loved the video. I like your blog because you do more strength training instead of all the crazy running the rest of us do! It’s definite motivation to get strong!
Why I read your blog? I LOVE your witty comments, how you write straight-to-the-point (without 10+ “has” and smilie faces everywhere), you always provide me with yummy recipes and great reviews/info on workouts. Your blog is the bomb gurrrlll.
Love your blog girl and your favorite things! One thing I like is that you aren’t ashamed to bring up issues/struggles (aka real LIFE issues) that aren’t often brought up in the blogworld. Happy blog anniversary!
I would say one of my favorite things about your blog has to be your honesty. I’m sure there are plenty of things that you keep to yourself but for the most part I get a vibe that you are pretty open about everything – except for why you’re not allowed in Canada. :) Anyway keep up the good work and happy blog…Birthday?
congrats on blogging for 2 years! that seems like a long time (i’ve only been doing it for a couple months!). i DID watch the video – are they always that many things flying over your house?! i’d probably get sick of that…
i read your blog because i like your attitude, i like that you tell it like it is, and i think your dogs are adorable.
i have no idea! haha if there are, i usually don’t notice.. we have nice windows (that i got as a wedding gift because i work at a window company!) and they are pretty sound proof!
happy 2 years!
i love your earrings! where did you get them?
xx
cat
my friend from high school made them! she has her own etsy and custom makes them–she also makes “fake” so you don’t have to have gauged ears to wear them. (mine are gauged but you can’t tell the difference with the fakes) http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tifthapeach
yay happy two years!!!!
1) i love your voice…weird maybe but its the truth:)
2) this giveaway is incredible
3)i just started reading blogs four months ago but i ran into yours almost instantly and i love how real you are and that your in this because you truly love doing it not because you want something out of it!
can’t wait to keep reading for another two:)
oh and ill definitely take your pups over the food!!!!
I also LOVE the lemon coconut simply bar. you have good taste =)
Thanks Janetha. Congrats on two years. I started reading your blog about 4 months ago, I read it pretty much on a daily basis and glean a helpful tip each time. The most helpful thing as of late is being motivated to get enough fiber and protein into my diet. I also love the healthy alternative recipes, I didn’t even know what xantham gum was until I read your blog and now I use it! It’s the little things that are brought to my attention that I now think about. Thanks again!
Happy dos años to you. What a great video and generous giveaway. I absolutely love you and your blog. You have a great personality and writing style, and I appreciate that you are so honest and open with your life and opinions. Your recipes are fantastic (my husband loves the taco soup), I’m trying bodyrock because of you, and I have a contigo water bottle sitting on my desk as I type this. Don’t have any suggestions for your blog because I think it’s perfect. Just keep doing what you do!!!
It seems like just yesterday you were doing a video for your one year b-word. You totally turned me onto the Simply Protein Bars – which my wallet totally HATES you for! They are so darn expensive, but so good! I just which stores in Chicago sold them. By the way – I just got an email this morning that they are on sale on amazon if you need to stock up!
Yay 2 years of Janetha! I love your blog and love you. I can’t get the video to work here but I’ll comment later tonight!
Your sign off on this video is the reason I continue reading :) You’re down to earth and rad and I heart it, I heart it all! Keep up the rocking work you already do! You inspire me consistently to spread the love! Celebrate your 2 years in a great way today, you deserve it!
That was such a cute video post and congrats on 2 years!!!!! I want to hear more about your Insanity adventures….I kind of want to try it with my boyfriend this summer, but am not huge into working out in my apartment and not the gym…..I also liked when you posted all your nutrition because it helped me remind myself to get more nutrients into my diet and not just be concerned with calories!!
I first started reading your blog because I was impressed by your abs! Your blog encourages me to exercise and because of you I discovered bodyrock.tv which i really love! Also, I enjoyed your posts about the state fair (and shockingly i had never been) but after seeing your post i went and had a blast :)
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now. I love your honesty and advice :-) I have never tried the mighty maple pb, but its sounds amazing! Congrats on the 2 years of blogging!
I LOVE your blog (it’s one of the first ones I read!), I’ve only been reading for about 6 or 7 months but you’re awesome! I’m starting my own blog soon, everything’s all ready I’m just waiting for something to pop in my head for the first post, and you’re one of the people that got me into blog reading so thanks for introducing me to the community!
Congrats on the 2 years of blogging! I absolutely love your blog. You are by far my favorite blogger. I love the fact that you are open and honest about your life. You write about things that are of interest to so many people. You seem like such a great person. :)
Happy 2 years :) I love reading your blog because you have such a fun bubbly personality!!!
I love you my darling bloggie friend! :) Great video, and I love the Penny cameo, although I wish we could have gotten a better one of Randy!! :) Holy heck you do have lots of planes and helicopters! I love everything about you and your blog, and I”m extremely grateful that I’ve had the opportunity not only to meet you in person, but to be your roomie! :)
I didn’t come across your blog until a little before Foodbuzz…but now it’s one of my favorites! (and I’m a big fan of all of your favorite things!!) You’re great Janetha :) Keep it up!
I love all your yummy casserole and simple dinner recipes! They are so much more approachable than a lot of the crazy recipes I see out there in blogland. I love that you cook real, healthy food but in an approachable way! Congrats on two years!
I love the body for life section of your blog! Following along with your challenges has been super motivating for me!
You’re so generous!!! There are a lot of reasons I read your blog but I think one of the coolest things I’ve learned through your blog is how to make high protein switches and still have food that tastes good! Other than that you’re totally inspirational, down to earth, and just all around awesome. Congrats on two years and I look forward to reading more!
Congrats on 2 years!! I started reading your blog because I found your weight loss story really inspiring. I love your blog because of the way you focus on getting enough protein in every meal which is something I try to do as well. Also, I love that you challenge yourself when it comes to working out. Here’s to many more years!
Congrats on your 2 year blog anniversary! I learned all about protein oats from your blog and that has been my breakfast 90% of my mornings the past year and a half… thanks for everything you do!
2 years!!! woohooooo! Congrats love!!!!
I have to say I am so glad you started this amazing blog, if not I would not have ever became friends with you and you are a true and amazing friend! We are ice cream lover friends too!
I loved the video , of course I loved the goodies, but I loved seeing Penny, and Randy I did not see but saw his tail! Wow it’s loud too! It was loud like that when I lived in DC, there were always planes, helicopters , or sirens!
Love you! xoxo
HI Janetha!
I love your blog. I’ve only been following for a couple months but you are one of the first blogs I started following for inspiration for my own blog. You are so real and provide so many helpful tips for creating healthy AND tasty recipes…including thick smoothies! Good luck during the next year of your blogging…I’ll be following you every step of the way.
-Lauren
Congrats! I learned how to sneak protein into so many foods from your blog – love it!
Janetha-
I started reading your blog earlier this year, and several times it has changed something for me, for the better.
I love your posts of new workouts, food you’ve tried, etc.
It makes me feel like I’m walking around with you, talking enjoying a healthy (or healthier) and happy way of living. I have made a few of the recipes you’ve made, with much success.
And your post about your mom, and her struggles lately hit me hard because my mom first got cancer when I was eight years old, I am 25 now and since then she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, OCD, several tumors and lesions on her brain, and various other illnesses..but I remain strong, because as a daughter it is what we have to do, and I appreciate your posts, and your courage, strength, and ability to enjoy the little things, in life. I love this post, adore you, and hope you do this for many many many more years (at least two ;p)
Thank you, and many blessings,
-Anna
I remember your video last year!! WOW, how time flies. I remember last year I wanted that Terra Whey powder SO SO BAD!! This year, I want that contigo bottle and maple PB!
You are too funny, love the helicopters. Priceless!
I read your blog for balance. I love seeing the values that you strive for!
You are awesome. :) Happy two years!
I love reading your blog! Your personality definitely shines through each of your posts and I love reading the variety of topics you talk about.
