Inspiration Galore

You all have so kindly poured out the love for me recently with your Fitfluential Ambassador support and your kind comments on my recent Body After Baby update. I think this afternoon needs to showcase where I get my inspiration from – you all! Time to check out some more amazing women and their strengths out loud. It never ceases to amaze me the fabulous bunch of women that inhabit the blogging community. Thanks for motivating me each and every day. Love to you all and happy Friday! 🙂

Lisa @ I’m An Okie

IMG_5951

I've developed a new strength over the past two years. I've learned to listen to my gut and go out and achieve the life I want. I'm hardworking, dedicated, and always striving to life the like I want whether that's in relationships (broke up with someone only to get back together and have a WONDERFUL relationship), education (finally was able to go back to school for Nursing and start a second career), fitness (challenged myself by running two half marathons this year), or just simply enjoying life and living the moment.

Robyn @ The Ranch Wife Chronicles

P3050095A[1]

I am a ranch wife who is raising healthy, high quality protein to feed America.  I am organized, dependable, and caring.  I put my whole heart into the projects I take on and strive to autograph my work with excellence.  I believe in and practice life long learning.

Emily @ Operation Emily

Rebel 5-18 047

I am a mother who adores my smart and confident daughter Olivia and proud to be raising her to be that way. I am a loving and supportive Wife who encourages my husband. I am a Nurse who is strong for others when they are not able to be. I am proud of who I am.

Kat @ Living Like the Kings

FFF-picture  

I will always make time for myself through exercise - a happy and healthy mommy yields a happy and healthy baby.

Danica @ It's Progression Not Perfection

SAM_0860

I'm proud of the respectful, kind person I am to all people.  I work hard to achieve all of my personal goals--about 1 year ago I committed to making a healthier lifestyle for myself (more exercise, naturally/fueling foods, growing in my relationship with God, etc.), and I've truly stuck to it.  I feel better than ever, and I'm really proud to be a great role model for my younger siblings!

Krys @ Musings From Mom School

IMGP8413

I am a GREAT mom because I love to get dirty with my boys. I love to do things that are good for the planet and I believe that children learn to respect nature by learning to love it, and they learn to love it by getting out there in it and playing in it. Even if it's chilly or raining, or if there are mosquitoes, snakes or *shudder* ticks, or if I'm baiting fish hooks or whatever. I believe that the dirtier my kids are at the end of the day, the better of a day they had, and that goes for me, too.

Paige @ Running Around Normal

Fitness Mag

I am decisive, passionate, driven, and impulsive. Combined, this leads me to take action on successful projects and ideas in life that wouldn't have come to fruition if I'd second guessed myself or had been wishy washy about them. Of course, it's also lead to some dead ends or "failures" *ahem, learning experiences,* but I'd say the former outweigh the latter 😉

Karen @ Health In Real Life

IMG_20110618_071244

I am a wife and mom that loves her family unconditionally.  I have a strong body that allowed me to carry twins for 36 weeks.  I am a passionate, kind, loyal, patient and honest woman.

Carolina @ Peas In A Blog

n502479186_2056582_4913

I'm a lover, daughter, sister, friend & life aficionado. I'm a runner & a heck of a cook. I'm a artist & a world traveler. I have a huge heart & love others well. I believe everyone has something to contribute to this beautiful life -- we should live well & live fully!

Katie @ Healthy Heddleston

IMG_0536

I am my biggest cheerleader. I have an awesome husband who supports my crazy adventures. I seek new challenges and enjoy the roller coaster ride that comes with them. I love myself and have the power of choosing my mood.

Andrea @ Vegvacious

Me

I am passionate and full of fun. I am free-spirited and open-minded. I am very good at my job. I love working on my blog and am proud on how far it's come and how much I've grown since starting it!!

Anna @ Active Fingers

I am a good listener. I am there for my friends (even when it feels like a one way street or they have hurt me). My family is extremely important to me. My faith is the foundation in my life. I am creative and organized. I am enthusiastic about what I love.

My strengths are patience, optimism, and a positive attitude!

Janetha @ Meals and Moves

I am awesome because I have big legs and can do lots and lots and lots and lots of squats with my husband on my back.  I used to want supermodel chicken legs for the longest time.. but then one day I realized that my legs, albeit big, are beautiful.  And muscular.  And strong.  And mine.  I think I will keep them.

 

Chelsey @ Clean Eating Chelsey

I'm proud of the way I care. Whether it's my family, a stranger, or a friend, I get highly invested in how others feel. I am quite a lover, and I never want to make anyone feel bad because of something I did. Watch out - I'll hug you if I meet you... yes, you.

 

Heather @ Side of Sneakers

team fight

I go after what I want and I do whatever it takes to make it happen. My success is not measured by my job title, what other people think, or the dollars I make or don't make- it's measured by the impact I'm making.

Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food

Kelly @ L, S, and F

I am proud that I have a compassionate heart and will put others first before myself.

Lisa @ Healthful Sense

IMG_6226_2

My love for God and for my family is strong and unconditional. I stay strong and positive through challenging times. I am persistent and work hard to finish the task at hand. I am proud to have a masters degree in nutrition and to be a RD. I take care of my body by eating nutrient rich, nourishing foods.

Michelle @ Crazy Running Legs

MichelleFamilyPic

I am loving. I am helpful. I am open-minded. I am a great listener. I am silly. I have a good heart. I am smart. I have a tough mind. I have strong running legs. I am optimistic. I am a good mom, wife, daughter, and sister!

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 […]
