Amazing Things

Happy Friday everyone! Glad it’s finally here! Especially since I thought Wednesday was Friday, only to realize it was not! Don’t you hate it when that happens?!

Just wanting to share with you some awesome things that have been happening for me. I love celebrating and sharing the good things!!

First off, THANK YOU all who voted for me in Reduced Fat Girl’s contest! I’m happy to report that I WON! With almost 12,000 votes! You guys rock and make me feel super loved!

Also, she has started a ‘Success Stories’ feature on her site. There are some GREAT stories over there! Read them, feel inspired, and submit your own!

Cannot wait to use that $100 for Fitbloggin’ expenses! (Is is June yet?!)

Speaking of expenses, I have a workout video game/DVD addiction.

In an attempt to save money for said Fitbloggin’ trip, I’ve decided to put myself on a workout video game/DVD fast. This is tough for me because I only workout at home and easily get bored. Which is why I own so many.

Well a dear blog reader, Pauly contacted me and said she had Turbo Fire just sitting in her closet collecting dust. So, she said she would gladly send it to me!

I cannot wait to get it and challenge myself! Thank you so much again Pauly!

I really have the greatest readers/fans! I can’t thank you guys enough for the support you give me and for thinking I’m an inspiration. Can you believe that I hit 1,000 fan on my Facebook Page last night?!

I cannot believe it! Like I said on there last night, this small-town Midwest girl never thought in a million years I’d have fans all over the world! It’s awesome knowing you all look up to me! I want you guys to know that I also look up to you! Because I know the courage it takes to make a change and all the hard work it entails. I also know that every single one of you are worth it! <3

Just like you all come to me for inspiration, there are several people I go to too. One of them is Heather of Half Size Me. She has an AWESOME podcast where she interviews amazing people who have lost weight.

I try to listen weekly while cooking dinner. And I’ve been secretly hoping she would want to interview me.

Well guess what?! It’s going to happen! She contacted me and wants to do a podcast interview with me! There was total dancing around when I read that. I need to email her to work out the details and as soon as I know, you will all know! Gah I’m pumped! I love sharing my story!

Which I get to share my story tomorrow at my local Weight Watchers One Amazing Day! It’s happening all over, so be sure to check out the events at your local Weight Watchers! Here’s the link to find one near you: One Amazing Day Locations

If you are a local fan, I’m speaking at the Moline, IL Weight Watchers Center (4240 44TH AVE, MOLINE, IL 61265) at 10:00AM! I’d love to see you guys there and share my story with y’all. Maybe you’re thinking about joining and want to check it out, well this is a great way to do so!

So much good in my life right now. I’m forever grateful for everything! I hope life is treating you all well too!

    Back for seconds — If you enjoy yoga and pilates, I just discovered a website that offers free online streaming workouts. They have hundreds of videos available in varying degrees of difficult and duration. Here’s the link: http://www.doyogawithme.com/

    Is there any chance I could trade you a Jullian Michaels Yoga dvd for the Bob harper biggest loser yoga dvd? I’m not supposed to be spending any more money and I really miss my Bob yoga…I had the cd but it seems to have disappeared :O(

    congrats on winning the contest! super exciting and wonderful prizes!

    I followed WW for a while. I”ve been toying with going back (to the actual meetings) but i”m having a hard time with the $42 a month…maybe you can encourage me to suck it up and go back? :O) what’s the simply fit all about? and the new 360? When I went they had just swicthed to the Points Plus. I did really well on the program. I thought I’ would be fine following the program “on my own” but it’s been a struggle ever since (and have since put 30lbs back on).

    I’m from IL as well-grew up in central IL…town called Paxton; just north of champaign and just east of bloomington. I”m now in Southern IL near St. Louis.

      Sorry Tori, but I refuse to give up my Biggest Loser Yoga DVD. It’s my favorite! :) I hope yours turns up! And you totally should suck it up and get back to Weight Watchers, it works! And the new 360 is awesome! It’s still PointsPlus, but just some new things added. Go to a meeting and check it out!

    Turbo fire looks amazing – I’ve done turbo jam and the gym version, turbo kick and love them both.

    I’m attending my local WW center for the one Amazing Day tomorrow and so pumped to hear real life success stories.

    Also, you’re just a stones throw away from me – I Iive in Quincy!
