<p>Sadly, our <a title="fbg birthday" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/tag/fbg-birthday-week/">fourth-birthday celebration week</a> is winding down. We still have a couple of <a title="fitness giveaways" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/category/giveaways/current-giveaways/">exciting giveaways</a> to go, but it&#8217;s time to take a look at what&#8217;s to come. &#8216;Cause, guys, exciting things are coming. But before we divulge too much, we want to know: What do YOU want to see from FBG in the next year? How can we be better? What do you need? In what ways can we better support you and your healthy lifestyle?</p>
<p>So while there is a poll below that asks your opinion on specific ideas that are clanking around in our FBG brains, in the comments please give us your honest-to-goodness thoughts. We want this place to be insanely rocking and helping you to reach your goals and feel awesome. So tell us what you&#8217;d like to see—and select all that apply!</p>

<p>So, yeah, I pretty much wet myself with excitement in <a title="adida apparel review" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/?p=31064">this week&#8217;s adidas apparel review</a>. I freakin&#8217; loved that stuff!

<p>Yesterday, I had the opportunity to check out Reebok&#8217;s headquarters in Canton, Mass., for a blogger&#8217;s event. While we&#8217;ll be sharing more of that trip with you soon, let&#8217;s just say that Reebok has seriously moved up the totem pole on my list of &#8220;favorite apparel companies.&#8221; But tell us who tops your list. What major company strikes your workout-apparel fancy?</p>

<p>I recently had my willpower seriously tested when a box of <a title="simply 7 chips" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/04/betcha-cant-eat-just-one-simply-7-lentil-and-hummus-chips/">these</a> ended up at FBG HQ. It surprised me because as much as I do enjoy salty snacks now and again, most of the time it&#8217;s the sweets that <em>really</em> get me. Nine times out of 10, if I have a hankering for something, that something has sugar—and probably a decent amount of fat—in it. Think really, <em>really</em> rich dark-chocolate brownies or anything involving peanut butter. While we&#8217;ve already covered the <a title="overcome food cravings" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/03/the-facts-on-food-cravings-when-to-resist-and-when-to-give-in/">411 on food cravings and how to overcome them</a>, it got us wondering: Exactly what foods do you crave the most? So we put it to a poll!</p>

<p><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Why are all of the FBGs discussing green fitness stuff this week?

<p>This entire week we&#8217;ve been <a title="fit bottomed earth" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/tag/fit-bottomed-earth-week/">talking about taking care of Mother Earth</a> and how doing that can add up to a healthier life for all of us. This was our first week really focusing on eco-friendly topics (although <a title="Green Workout" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2008/07/a-green-workout/">we&#8217;ve always loved planet Earth</a>!), so it got us to wondering. When it comes to the workouts you do, the products you buy and the gyms you attend, how green do you get when it comes to fitness? So&#8230;tell us in today&#8217;s poll!</p>

<p>In what was a looong overdue post, FBG Tish recently created an official <a title="80s music playlist" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/?p=27196">80s music playlist</a> to help you power through your next workout with a lot of wicked beats, synthesizers and questionable fashion choices. As I love so many songs from the 80s, especially when <a title="faster runner" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/04/so-youre-a-runner-now-what/">running</a> and lifting weights, it got me thinking: Does one decade reign supreme when it comes to workout music? So, obviously, we&#8217;re putting it to a poll! Because that&#8217;s a highly scientific way to determine an answer, of course.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, I went on and on about a new line of <a title="kiragrace yoga" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/03/kiragrace-workout-clothes-to-make-you-feel-pretty-oh-so-pretty/">yoga apparel</a> that is just darn pretty—and makes me feel pretty when I wear it. While I admitted that trends and looking cute aren&#8217;t always the No. 1 reasons why I buy a piece of workout apparel (I typically care most about performance yet am <a title="You Are What You Wear" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2011/09/sometimes-you-are-what-you-wear/">drawn to loud colors</a>), it&#8217;s certainly nice when the fitness planets align and you get a piece of clothing that&#8217;s cute, flattering and functional. But what say you?</p>

<p>Is it just me or are smoothies really blowing up? And I don&#8217;t mean in the literal explosion sense (that would be messy!). I mean in the popularity sense. After reading through the awesome comments and smoothie suggestions on <a title="Liquid Diet" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/03/kristen-and-the-accidental-liquid-diet/">FBG Kristen&#8217;s recent post</a> (poor thing&#8217;s on a liquid diet!), it seems that almost everyone has a &#8220;favorite&#8221; smoothie or two that they like to make. And that we all have our personal preferences when it comes to the fruits, veggies, powders and extras we put in them. While this makes me crack up even more at our <a title="Shit Fit Bottomed Girls Say" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2012/03/sht-fit-bottomed-girls-say-yes-we-made-the-video/">Sh*t Fit Bottomed Girls Say video</a> (&#8220;You know what would be really good in that?
