Summer Blog Tour Featured Blog!

June 30, 2010

If you are stopping by from the Summer Blog Tour, welcome and thank you!

Today I am the featured blogger during the 2010 Summer Blog Tour hosted by Living My MoMent! *crowd explodes into cheer* Why thank you!

If this is your first time here, I’m going to list some of what I consider my best posts, and also a post that tells you what I’m working on right now and how I’m changing my life.

First, I’ve applied for Mamavation and today is the last day that applications are being accepted. Now it’s the waiting game. The 5 finalists are being announced on the 5th (*maybe* the 4th), and I’m nervous. This is actually my 3rd time applying, so I’m really hoping to garner enough support to make this time THE time!

Here are some other posts:

My Mamavation Changes

I hope you find something you like, and maybe you’ll subscribe and stick around for a while! Heck, you may get lucky and win a giveaway or two (I have several coming up!). If you decide to support me during Mamavation by telling @Bookieboo or by voting daily if I’m chosen as a finalists, I will love you forever!

Thank you for stopping by!

Like your blog, and good luck with the whole weight loss thing. As I was sitting at my computer last night at 1 am with my muffin top sticking out of my shorts, (okay, who am I kidding? It’s WAY more than just the top, more like a bakers dozen), I thought to myself, “I really need to do something about this.” Unfortunately the only thing I hate more than exercise is dieting, so I kind of lack the motivation required for the job. Hopefully one day they’ll just invent a magic get skinny pill, until then, just trying to be comfortable in my own tent, um, I mean, skin.

Hi Mandi,

I didn’t realize that you were from Ohio as well! Very Cool! Where are you from? I live in Columbus, but grew up in Cincinnati, and was born in Cleveland. I even went to school for a year at BGSU, so I lived up northwest as well.

Good luck on your weight loss. This is a big thing for me as well. I really want to get off my baby weight and then about 20 more pounds. It’s a struggle just finding time to get a workout in.

Thanks again for being a part of the Summer Blog Tour! You have some really great stuff going on here!

Hey Mandi! Good luck with Mamavation! I’ve been on the weightloss rollercoster forever it seems! You are beautiful no matter how much you weigh is my strong belief but I understand the need for self acceptance of our bod’s so hang in there girl, you can do this! After we get to know each other better I’d love to share my story with you and some of the things that have/are helping me keep the weight off:)

I’m also party of the Summer Blog Tour so please stop by and say hello at http://www.reinventingbeautiful.com

I look forward to getting to know you better:)

Have a beautiful day!
Mary

Hello, Mandi,

I’m stopping by for the blog tour. My, my…I am late. I was so weirded out about being late for my own blog day that I started writing the posting two days ago.

I found that even though I cut food down to barely there, I still didn’t lose weight. When i finally added in boot camp exercise, B Complex vitamins and regular vitamin(to keep the energy level up), the muscles kicked in and tightened up. The real payoff is being healthier than ever!

Hello again my friend! Sorry to be stopping by late. Water Drink tons and tons of water. It supposedly speeds up your metabolism. Best wishes in your loss.
