The August 2009 Bloggy Love award goes to Gina, The Fitnessista. I would consider Gina a fitness and healthy food blogger. I love to give away these Bloggy Awards because it’s nice to show how much of an impact these bloggers really truly have on their readers.
I have been following Gina’s blog for quite some time now and I believe she is quite deserving of this award. Gina inspires me in so many ways and once you start reading her blog, you’ll figure out many of the reasons why.
Gina is a personal trainer, spin and Zumba instructor and more! She’s amazing and really does it all. I love that Gina freely shares her workout ideas, music play lists and more. She’s just really cool! I might have to take a trip one day just so I can get a personal training session with the fab Gina. It’s so much fun to hear about Gina’s gym escapades and her crazy workouts. I love it!
Gina has so much to offer on her blog. Be sure to check it out at The Fitnessista! The workout page is awesome along with her weight loss story. I am always intrigued with how healthy Gina eats and secretly wish she would come teach me how to cook up all of her yummy meals. Gina loves spicy foods, a girl after my own heart. And I swear one day I am going to try Indian food. It always looks so yummy when she blogs about her Indian dinners out on the town. Wonder what Indian foods she would recommend for a beginnger? *wink*
I absolutely enjoy seeing how in love Gina is with her pilot (her hubby). They have a great fun loving relationship which is a breath of fresh air to see. I love to hear about their travels, quick road trips and their pets. Never a dull moment in Fitnessista land. You can follow Gina on Twitter to see what I mean.
Lastly, you have to check out The Fitnessista breakfast cookie and try one for yourself. Soooo good! In fact, I need to make myself one this week.
Be sure to visit Gina’s blog, The Fitnessista and add it to your reader. You will be inspired on so many levels. Enjoy! Also, don’t forget to share the bloggy love with your favorite blogs and link back when you do. Another fabulous blogger will be highlighted next month so come on back to see who it will be.
The July 2009 Bloggy Love award goes to Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point. I have been reading Caitlin’s blog for some time now and enjoy it a lot. I have been inspired by her many times. I don’t run but all of her posts about her races and running experiences have me intrigued and keep me coming back for more. You can find running tips on her blog too.
Her biking experiences have been fun too. Caitlin is also a food blogger and I’m inspired when she shares her healthy meals and snacks. You can read how she fuels up which includes a word on calories! Caitlin and her hubby even run an online supplement superstore called The Holistic Doctor Is In. Drop by for a visit and you’ll find a wide variety of items.
Caitlin is training for the Disney marathon and is looking to raise funds for her Team in Training group who are raising the funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Please help support her! I donated, will you?
And lastly, something I have found that Caitlin started that is extremely inspiring. It’s called Operation Beautiful. Maybe you have heard of it and maybe not but you need to read all about it. I look forward to participating very soon. The mission? END FAT TALK! Follow Operation Beautiful on Twitter and check out Caitlin on TV when Operation Beautiful was in the news.
Caitlin I thought you were so deserving of this Bloggy award because you are an inspiration to so many people. Keep up the great work and know that you are appreciated.
Everyone be sure to head on over to Healthy Tipping Point and add it to your reader. You won’t be disappointed. And don’t forget to share the bloggy love with your favorite blogs too and link back when you do. I’ll have another fabulous blogger to highlight next month so be sure to check back to see who it is.

The June 2009 Bloggy Love award goes to Sahar at Fat Fighter TV. I have really enjoyed connecting with Sahar over the past year. She always has a lot of fun and interesting things to share on her website and blog.
She has quite the variety of blog topics that I enjoy like healthy recipes, news nuggets, fun Friday and more. Oh and she has giveaways as well! I love watching the videos submitted by her readers too.
Sahar has a community that you can join and some cool shirts and other logo goodies in her cafe press store.
And lastly the most exciting for me is her Weight Loss WooHoo Hall of Fame. I just heard about this recently and my goal is to get on there the day I hit my 100 lb weight loss mark. It won’t be for a while but it gives me the incentive to keep going.
You can follow Sahar with Fat Fighter TV on Twitter and be sure to add her blog to your reader AND sign up for her newsletter.
Are you familiar with Fat Fighter TV? Sahar is a regular reader her so please show her some bloggy love.

The May 2009 Bloggy Love Award is here and goes to Carla at MizFit Online. Carla is one amazing woman and is always willing to help others. Carla takes the time to make sure to uplift others and I like her honesty and her passion for fitness.
I had the pleasure of meeting Carla in Chicago last year when she was in town for a Quaker Oats sponsored event. It was fun. Here is a picture of the two of us.
Definitely check out the MizFit Online blog and you’ll find so much. Love Carla’s Monday face time videos the most but you’ll see posts about food, trends and even giveaways and link love. If you need a good dose of inspiration, you’ll want to make sure to visit Carla’s blog and spend some time there on a regular basis.
Check out MizFit’s article over on Yahoo Shine. She’s a great writer! And there are other great articles there as well.

April’s Bloggy Love award is here.
For the month of April 2009, I have chosen Roni from Roni’s Weigh to receive this award. Roni is a true inspiration to so many people. What I like about Roni is that she is real and shares openly about her weight loss journey on her blog. She uses the blog as a personal online journal and it’s very motivational to see that she is just like many of us who have struggles too. You should really get to know Roni better.
Roni is another one of the great bloggers I met last November while she was in town for the Quaker Oats event. I also got to spend quite a bit of time chatting with her at Panera where we all had breakfast. Here is a picture of us together.
Here are more blogger meet up pictures.
Roni’s blog has a lot to offer and is full of some super awesome stuff like Question of the Week, Thursday Thoughts, Ask Roni videos, a cool store with THE cutest broccoli shirt and much more. Don’t miss her recipe video blog, GreenLiteBites.
Oh and check out her Blog to Lose community. You’ll find a group of weight loss bloggers who are there to support one another. As I write this, there are 64 groups at Blog to Lose. I’m interested in the 100 pounds plus, losing with dvds, 30 Day Shred and a few other groups. I just joined and you can see my profile here: Angie Newton’s Blog to Lose profile If you decide to join, be sure to let me know!
Once you get to know Roni, you’ll know why I chose her as a recipient of this Bloggy Love award. Roni, I appreciate everything you do on your blog and the time you dedicate to helping all of us improve our lives. You are truly a blessing to many.
Don’t forget to share the bloggy love too. Feel free to use this bloggy love award and link back in the comments when you do. Be sure to come back next month to see who the May 2009 bloggy love award recipient will be!
