Low Key Week

You Are Strong

Just a little Operation Beautiful love for you!

This past week I only exercised one day (knee issues and also had what felt like a pulled muscle across the chest).  I wrote about it in my Sunday mailing that most of you receive (if you don’t you can sign up using the box over on the right side of the blog).  Saturday spin class was all I did this week and it was tough.  The spin bikes at the new gym really need updating.  They are horrible and very few can you do standing runs and climbs.  The pedals snap and jerk your knees.  Guess spin is not going to be something in the cards for us like it used to be. We’ll keep going on Saturday’s but I think that’s it unless of course they buy new bikes which I don’t see happening.  Total bummer!

Weigh In On Negative Self Talk

Yesterday was a very happy day. Not only was August 3rd my momma’s birthday but it was a big day for my online friend Caitlin of Operation Beautiful and Healthy Tipping Point. Her Operation Beautiful book was released and tomorrow Thursday, August 5th she will be on the Today Show at 8:30 AM to talk about it.  Set your DVR to record this momentous occasion!  I have a review copy of the book coming so I’ll be doing a write up about it once I have a chance to take a peek! But for now this Amazon video will tell you a bit about the book.

So this week is all about Change The Way You See, Not The Way You Look and you can find a ton of bloggers and other writers sharing their posts here.

Today I want to weigh in on negative self talk when it comes to the big bad scale!

Bloggy Love: Healthy Tipping Point

Bloggy Love
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.

PS.  Caitlin has a review of the 30 Day Shred so check it out!
