in Getting Healthy

This weekend I’m at FITBLOGGIN!

I suspect there will be at least ONE new person who comes across my blog this week/end as a result of this conference. Or maybe you’re just new here over the past few months or so. Either way, let’s chat.

This is me:

(Yes, those are prescription glasses!)

But if you see me this weekend I may look more like this:

Or even just like this:

I’m not a “fitness” or “healthy living” blogger – I mostly just ramble on about whatever’s on my mind or – oh look! Something shiny!

But seriously, I’m working toward losing close to 100 pounds so fitness is a big part of my life. I just don’t always have enough to say about it to fill a blog post!

Things you should know about me:

I am PAINFULLY SHY in real life until I get to know you. So please come say hi to me! I’m pushing myself to be as outgoing in real life this weekend as I am on my blog/in my vlogs – but if you catch me doing the smile and look away, just know that I’m not being rude or blowing you off – I just feel awkward and don’t know how to start a conversation. But I’m excited to be at Fitbloggin and I can’t wait to meet as many of you as I can!

You say, “Let’s do an easy 5K!” I say, “Sounds like fun – if you mean in the pool.” I’m a swimmer and I really love strength training. Running? No thanks. I love to dance (often and publicly) and I like yoga of all kinds. But I’d sooner do 100 squats than spend even 5 minutes on the stairs. Funny story? I joined my gym because I could take the elevator from the parking garage instead of the stairs and not look as lazy as that feels. And then my trainer found that out and now I take the stairs anyway. But it’s the worst part of my workout! So Lazy!

If you want to be my friend – talk to me about swimming, sushi, shoes, books, manicures, or music.

If you want to be my new BFF – suggest we skip CrossFit and get Slurpees instead. I’ll love you forever. Or if the conference is already over, just suggest we get Slurpees. Either way, I’m yours.

Interested in more? Check out my ABOUT page, my FAQs, or my START HERE page.

You might also like to follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram.

Hope you all have a splendid weekend!! See you next week!

You’re FitFluential? I’ve gotten a pretty negative opinion of them recently, but I respect you a lot, so I’m curious what your experience has been. Also, have fun!

I signed up with them a while ago but not as an ambassador, just as a blogger/tweeter but I should probably take that off my profile cause I’m not really involved with them anymore since I mostly stopped blogging about working out and all. These days I’m only fitfluential in that I bought this shirt cause I like that the #proof hashtag shows up on the back when you sweat. Which probably grosses some people out but I think it’s cool cause I hate how much I sweat but this at least makes it seem like I earned something. Hah.

Ugh I am the saaaame exact way as you! I do the smile-and-not-make-eye-contact thing. I’m just shy at first but once you get me talking I will never shut up. haha

I had a blast as well! and I still feel that I would rather do 100 squats than stairs but NO MORE BURPEES!!
