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)Ā 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)Ā 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!

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! š
I admire kicking that sugar habit! It’s so tough! I’ve given up all pop this month, and I plan to continue after august is over! It’s very empowering!! Have a great night! SPALove!
