I am feeling very very thankful for all the words of encouragement, thankful to all those that have sent me links to articles, information, and websites, feeling shocked {in a good way} that just about 300 people have already viewed my rambling posts in a few short days of starting this blog, and feeling freaking fantastic that my big sis Monica has decided to pop in with some posts of her own. So to kick things off right and thank everyone for the support,

Aleisha,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post on your blog so far is definitely "Love, yourself." Wow, that was super brave of you to be so open with your personal "dislikes." And ironically, those are three of my top ones too. You said it so well, that I could say ditto and be done:)
I am excited to follow your new blog and glad that monica shared it!
I also really liked the post about the labels. That's a great rule to go by, "if I can't read or know whats in my food, prob not good for me."
of course this is my favorite post because you will be giving something away! :-) but, unfortunately, we Idahoans don't have ANY of those amazing stores. But if i win, i'll let you give it to my mom so she can buy me some goodies and mail them. I miss sprouts oh so much!
ReplyDeleteNo really, i have another favorite post, to which i will contribute something intelligent(ish) later today.
I'm a follower and I liked your fb page. My favorite post so far is the recipe for the garbanzo bean salad. You can exercise all you want but if you're not fueling your body with the proper food, you won't get the results you're looking for!
ReplyDeleteWell I already posted on the FB page so I won't re-post it on here ;) (hope that is ok) Love the blog-it was hard to pick my fav post.
ReplyDeletewell I decided to post just in case ; )
ReplyDeleteThis was awesome and my favorite post so far!!!! It is so true!!! I see it all around me, esp being a former competitive gymnast and athlete and working at a Gymnastics center. Because I have lived this and can relate (one person, I wont say who, used to tell me "why didn't u get a higher score? why can't u be more like that girl who does that hard tricks?, or why did u fall?! I would have loved to have heard, "u did ur best and that is all that matters!") However, because of my life experiences, I am now able to help those I work with change their view on being "perfect". Working with children and others for the past 20 years in coaching, etc. I have been able to help them strive to always do their best, but let them know that we will never be perfect, we will always fail at times and that is ok! WE are to do our best and work hard and just keep on trying! Even though this doesn't totally relate, it does in a way: How many times did Thomas Edison try before he finally was able to create the Light Bulb? Atleast a 1000!!! What if he had given up at 999 because he felt like he was not perfect and couldn't do it?! Just saying ; ) BTW I love the name of ur blog and what ur doing!
OOOH, pick me, pick me!! C'mon, a 15 year friendship should count for something. just kidding!! I loved the post about reading the ingrediants in food cause it's something I NEVER do and now MUST do because of little Mason. Love your blog and so proud of you!!

Love your blog! I was following before the incentive! I love all the posts, but my favorite is the trader joes recipe. All the info is wonderful and give me inspiration, but the recipes will get my butt in gear to take action! Good luck with getting your blog up and running! It will be a great success! xoxo-Jamie
ReplyDeleteAleisha and Monica I love getting on facebook and seeing what new blogs you two have posted. I love the recipes you put on here, it's always nice to have something new to make and eat without feeling guilty about after, plus they look so good! I get colds a lot and what not and I never thought to do a healthy veggie shake so thank you Monica for that I am totally going to try that next time I feel like I am getting sick! I think it's great what your two are doing and it has helped me so much to start eating healthier and how important it is to workout even if it is just for 15 minutes:) Can't wait to read more!!
