Did you find anything interesting this week?

P.S. Kev and I are trying to win the beach blogger romance retreat with Marriott and would appreciate your votes.  You’ll have to LIKE their page first and then vote for Angie N.  You can do this daily through Sunday. Then they will chose 10 finalists and if we are chosen then we vote again from Aug. 3-17. THEN we find out the two winners.  Oh please let it be us!  You can even read the quick version of how we met. It’s a great story!

UPDATE: We made it to the Top 10 so you can now vote for Angie N every 24 hours until Aug. 17th.  We truly appreciate all the vote love!  And if we win, you all get to choose the activities we participate in when we go to one of their resorts.

 

Healthy Living Conferences, Sports Bras, Low Carb Cooking & more

Happy Weekend!

Here are some of my favorite links that I came across this week……

Nelson over at The Breakfast Cook has a low carb cooking challenge this week. I have never done low carb so I don’t really know anything about it so check it out.

There are two healthy living/fitness conferences that I would love for Kevin (hubby) and I to attend one day.  There are mostly women attendees from what I have seen but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. Ha! You might be familiar with the conferences Fit Bloggin ’11 & Healthy Living Summit.  They are both on my future wish list.  Speaking of them Healthy Living Summit is in CHICAGO this week and I couldn’t get a ticket because they sold out in like 12 MINUTES. Bummer!  Roni, the creator of Fit Bloggin is cool!  I have had the great pleasure of meeting her in Chicago a few years ago when a group was here for a Quaker sponsored event and they planned a blogger meet up.  Check these events out and I hope to meet you at one or both of them in the future!

Shelley over at My Journey to Fit has a great post on sports bras.  Perfect timing as I really need a few new ones and have no clue where to go.

One of my favorite blogger fitness inspirations is Tina from Carrots ‘N’ Cake. She just did a few videos for Fitness magazine recently and they are so cool.  You have to watch (scroll down a bit to see the videos but also be sure to enter your best tip for staying hydrated)!  This was all about 80′s fitness fads.

Have you heard of the Daily Burn website?

Get your fix at the Daily Burn, a fun online fitness/healthy lifestyle community.

I just found out about the Daily Burn website on this blog post by Tim Ferriss and I’m happy I did. The daily burn website has so much to offer. It’s basically a place to track your fitness, weight loss, food intake and more.  There are groups (weight loss for women, Wii Fit, etc) and forums (Fitness & Exercise, General Health, Motivation and more) plus much more.

The Daily Burn reminds me of The Daily Plate where I have been a member of for quite some time but it seems easier to get around within the Daily Burn website.  There is no fee to sign up but they do offer an affordable PRO account that I might look into at some point.

The initial reason I decided to check it out is because of the food scanner iPhone App they introduced this week.  I am so addicted to my iPhone it’s crazy.  You have to read about the food scanner App because it sounds pretty cool.  The App is available for purchase through iTunesicon.  And the other App they have is for iGoogle which I’m going to play around with to see what it’s all about.

Daily Burn has a blog too!
