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!!!

Thinking about staying at Loews Royal Pacific Reso Thinking about staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort? #hosted

A few things we loved:

🌴 Tropical island atmosphere that actually feels like an escape from the parks

🚤 Water taxi access to Universal CityWalk and the parks

🚶 Easy walking path if you’d rather skip the boat

🎢 Unlimited Express Pass included for registered guests

🏊 Beautiful pool area with plenty of space to relax between park days

For us, it was the perfect balance of resort time and theme park time.
Have you stayed at Loews Royal Pacific Resort, or is it on your Universal wish list?

*Valid on both arrival and checkout day. Please see the Universal Orlando website for rules and regulations for the unlimited express pass. Not valid at Epic Universe or Volcano Bay. Park tickets purchased separately.

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.

✨ Food is all you can eat. Minnie waffles, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit, and more!
✨ Multiple characters visit your table throughout the meal.
