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?

Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️ Sometimes we Allow me to de-influence you. 💁🏻‍♀️

Sometimes we (myself included) all need a little reminder that this app shows short snippets of the entirety of someone’s day and life. No one wants to post the boring, the ugly, the sad, but it’s there. 

Be careful not to compare your life with the people you see online. A lot of the things you see are inaccurate or a stretch of the truth, or just the best of the best. That’s not reality and I want to make sure no one thinks that I am ever trying to portray some perfect life that doesn’t exist. I’m a hot mess 99% of the time, and that’s ok! 😜

I sometimes am still waiting on an adult to walk into the room to tell me what to do….and then I remember I AM the adult. 🤣

When we get down to it, we are all very similar. I love you guys.

Trying to stay one step ahead is basically my pers Trying to stay one step ahead is basically my personality at this point 🤣 (ad)
From laying out my workout clothes to packing my daughter’s basketball bag… and yes, remembering my vitamins — staying proactive just makes life run smoother.

But I realized it shouldn’t just stop with me. My dogs are part of the family too. 💛 So when I’m grabbing our wellness essentials at select Walmart stores, I make sure to pick up our NaturVet pet supplements right from the Pet Health aisle.

At home, it’s simple: I get my vitamins and supplements, and they get theirs. Staying a step ahead means taking care of all of us — two-legged and four-legged. 🐶✨
