RWS Features #27

June 9, 2012 | fitness, Guest Post, Uncategorized

 

Happy weekend! I hope you are having a great one. Bobby and I are hanging with the fam this weekend, we have an event to go to tonight which i will tell you more about later. Our other plans include a long run, getting a snowball, church, and just chilling with my parental unit.

I also want to announce the winner of my Nuun Giveaway! I had 99 entries, and the winning one goes to…Lindsay from Typically Late! Lindsay, shoot an e mail to runningwithsass@gmail.com and I will get you your Nuun!

I also want to introduce you to Janene from One Run at a Time.

1.) How/Why did you start blogging?

I’ve had a few different blogs over the years, but I started One Run at a Time in August of 2010 as a way to document my running experiences. It’s been great to share my experiences, learn from other bloggers, and flex my writing muscles.

2.) Sum up your blog in a couple sentences

One Run at a Time is running-obsessed, nature-lovin’ and occasionally goofy. Kinda like me.

 

3.)What do you wish to accomplish/achieve by blogging?
I love writing and I love documenting my memories, so my blog began as a selfish endeavor. But I’m also an educator at heart, and over the past year+ I’ve realized that thanks to my work in outdoor recreation, I have some unique expertise to add to the healthy living world, and I’m excited to share my experiences with others.

4.)What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment?

I don’t talk about weight on the blog, but I’ve maintained a pretty sizable weight loss since early 2011. While it’s great to be at a healthy, more comfortable weight, my biggest accomplishment has nothing to do with the numbers – it was that I discovered something I love and without “dieting.” I launched myself into a entirely new life, and I’ve never felt better. Now, it’s second nature and I can’t imagine living any other way. To me, that’s so much more important than any number on the scale.

Thanks so much for sharing! Be sure to follow One Run at a Time on Twitter: @onerunatatime

QOTD: Do you now consider healthy living second nature? Or is it difficult for you?

    Nice to meet you!

    Up until two years ago healthy living wasn’t in my vocab! Now, I couldn’t imagine a life without exercising and eating well! 🙂

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. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

👉🏻For a link to the birthday ears she wore (they have lots of colors and variations!) comment “EARS” and I will send it to you!

IYKYK. I finally figured it out…the night before IYKYK. I finally figured it out…the night before we got off the ship. 😆

This is 11. ✨🎉 Not sure how this happened, b This is 11. ✨🎉

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🥹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖
