FIT Magazine Photos and Article

March 19, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Evening all! Today was a crazy day! Bobby and I got up and ran our first 5k in our new city! More on the tomorrow when I do my recap. Then we hurried home and I drove an hour to my cousins’ fiancé’s bridal shower. It was so nice. my cousin (mother of the groom) hosted at her house and it was gorgeous. I will post pictures of that in a couple days! I didn’t get home until about 6:15, and I am pooped! But, I couldn’t get to bed without the promised photos and article from the magazine I was lucky enough to be on the cover of!

Fit magazine is a monthly New Orleans magazine that started in January. It is a part of NOLA.com and the Times Picayune. So, if you get the paper in New Orleans, you got this magazine as an insert yesterday. It has stories about being healthy and getting fit, as well as advertisements for gyms, healthy food stores, etc. I am on this month’s cover, and there is an article on the inside about me being a fitness role model!

here is the cover!!

Here is the table of contents:

and…here is the article!

Totally realize the words are too small…so here is the online version!

NOLA.com/Time Picayune FIT Magazine Article

SO, what are your thoughts on the article? I tried to be as honest as possible. A couple funny things about the pictures…you may remember me saying how cold it was and how my hands were turning red…look closely at the cover photo, you can see how red my hands were! Also, the bench photo…we spent an hour taken hundreds of photos, and as we were walking back to our cars the photographer decides “let’s take a goofy photo” as an afterthought…and THAT is the one that makes it in the magazine? LOL! I know he took some good ones, wish I could see them all! Another great magazine to subscribe to is the Atlanta Parent Magazine. It has so many parenting tips and tricks, I love this magazine!

A couple I took today…

my gooby husband.

QOTD: Thoughts on the article? I am pleased, I just wish they would have put my blog address like I asked!!!

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨
