RWS Features #35

August 4, 2012 | fitness, Guest Post, Uncategorized

 

Happy Saturday! We are hanging at my parents house this weekend since my doctor appointment is in my hometown on Monday morning for my foot. I trust you are all having a great weekend so far! Two things. First, I have another RWS feature for you, and second, I have the Good Gear giveaway winner to announce!

Bella is sad she never wins giveaways. Ok, moving on!

Meet Tamara from FitKnitChick.com

1) Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging as a way to stay connected with my personal training clients and group fitness participants on the days they didn’t see me in the gym or the aerobics studio. I hoped that by giving them motivational tips and nutritional advice they’d be more likely to stick with their programs between classes and training sessions.

2) Describe your blog in a couple of sentences:

I blog about fitness, food, family and fiber (knitting fiber!), inspiring my readers to eat healthily, exercise daily and make time for creative pursuits!

3)  What do you wish to accomplish by blogging?

Over the last year, blogging has allowed me to re-discover my love of writing. I see blogging as an entry point to other writing opportunities, including writing for magazines and newspaper and perhaps even (someday) a book!

4)  What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment?

My biggest healthy living accomplishment has been kicking the processed sugar habit. I no longer add sugar to coffee or tea and limit my sugar intake to the occasional home made dessert or glass of wine. It’s amazing how quickly that little tummy roll disappears when you drop sugar from your diet!

5) Please check out my blog at www.fitknitchick.com and follow me on Twitter @fitknitchick_1

Thanks Tamara! You are so so strong for kicking your sugar habit. I am still working on that one! Everyone be sure to click on over to her blog and say hello!

Good Gear Giveaway winner is Sara from Stories and Sweet Potatoes! Congrats! Please e mail me at runningwithsass@gmail.com so I can get you your free top and shorts!

QOTD: What is a habit you would like to kick for the second half of 2012?

    I have loved geting to know Tamara and her blog the last few months. And wow, so inspired by that sugar-kicking habit. That’s an ongoing process for me! 🙂

Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I’m sprinting to catch up with a finish line that keeps moving.

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!

This kid is truly the best and is so deserving. (She did laundry, dishes and cleaned the bathroom today without even being asked!) 

Her birthday is towards the end of September and we will be sailing ON her actual birthday! How fun is that?  We had never sailed on the Wish so this truly is a dream come true. 🥹

Have you sailed on the Wish? Any tips?
