Made me…smile.

The cute things my little M does – like feeding her “Teddy” a wide assortment of goodies. Even cooler? The majority of her play kitchen stuff was mine growing up.

Made me…excited.

I got goodies in the mail! Amy from Healthy Peanut sent me some homemade marshmallows. They’re airy and delicious. Thanks, Amy!!!

Made me…motivated.

My daily devotional always has the best messages. I had to share this one earlier.

Made me…laugh.

Apparently if I eat the Eggplant Parm from this local restaurant I will go into labor in the next 24 hours. A friend sent me that info and it provided a good chuckle.

Made me…consider my sanity.

After the chuckle, I thought “hmmmm”. Maybe I’m not opposed to an Italian dinner for a date night this weekend. 😉

Made me…shocked.

Guess what I did today? I registered my little girl for her first year of preschool!!! This can’t be happening already. It may not be full-blown preschool as a 2-year old class, for a few hours a day 2-3 times a week, but still. Already?

Made me…stoked.

Apparently there WILL be a 2011 Healthy Living Summit later this year as Meghann takes charge of the planning. I’m going. No matter what, I’m going. 

Question of the Evening – What “made you” emotion and moment did you have today?

Also, after seeing the positive response to my earlier post, feel free to let me know of any other reader’s requests you may have!

Blog Inspirations & FFF Page

I woke up this morning compelled to say a big thank you! I felt pretty hesitant yesterday morning to post my Q + A on weight. I do not believe a number on a scale shows a complete definition of health, yet know how comforting those numbers can feel as a way to compare, control, measure, etc our level of health/fitness. I too can easily get caught up in them and that serves as a big reason I will not use a scale when getting back in shape post-pregnancy.

In yesterday’s post I wanted to openly share what was asked of me, but I do not plan to explicitly discuss my weight, size, measurements, etc “numbers” (or the little I will even know of them) in the future, as such numbers are so unique to each person. I do thank you all for the respectful and open discussion in the comments yesterday. I appreciate that blogging allows for us to discuss such topics, share our experiences without judgment, possibly learn from each other, and then talk about leaking and hairy legs a few hours later. 😉 Blogging is pretty awesome, huh?

I truly thank the two ladies that originally exposed me to blogging. That would be you two Lisa and Julie! You two may even have something special coming your way as a token of that appreciation. 😉

If not for them, I don’t know if I would ever have come across this crazy, fabulous, and fulfilling world. The 3 of us, along with quite a few other awesome ladies, used to actively participate in a fitness forum. Julie & Lisa both started up blogs around the same time and shared them on the forum. They were the first two blogs I consistently read and I instantaneously fell in love with the blogging atmosphere. It jived so much better with my beliefs on health and fitness. So much so that I could not wait to have a space of my own to share.

It took a bit of time to figure out exactly what I wanted that to be, but eventually Faith Fitness Fun was formed and I will never look back. Thank you Lisa and Julie for bringing me here and your continued support and friendship. And an extra huge thank you to each of you, my readers and friends, who welcome me with open arms each day and make this such a fulfilling place for me to write, reflect, laugh, and vent. I wish I could give you each a hug because it is thanks to YOU that I don’t foresee myself stopping this blogging journey any time in the remote future. Blogging has helped me grow and lit a new fire in my life. I am forever grateful for that…and for you. I cannot even begin to express it all. Thank you.

And I feel a little cheesy posting this update after all I just wrote, but I wanted to go ahead and let you all know that the Faith Fitness Fun Facebook page is now up and running!

facebook

I refuse to call it a “fan page” because that just seems so wrong. You’re friends, not fans! You can click the plugin on my right sidebar to “Like” the page to receive updates, pick up random tidbits I don’t always share here, and/or simply to show your continued support. I’m excited for it and can’t wait to connect with you all through there. 🙂 I’m sure my personal account friends are excited too…blog updates only for those who want them. LOL

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
