1 thing to expect from my blog:
- I hope that everyday you find honesty and inspiration through my blog. I’m not perfect and nor is my work life balance, eating, or workout habits. I’m human. I’ve overcome a great deal in the past few years which includes losing over 50 pounds through Weight Watchers, beginning my running journey, moving North, pursuing my dreams, and starting this blog. I’ve gained more from A Healthy, Happier Bear and my readers than I could have ever imagined and for that I thank you! I know it’s your choice to come here daily and follow my crazy life but I hope you enjoy it!
Question: What 3 things are you most proud of accomplishing?
PS: Don’t forget to sign up for the free Equinox Vitality class I’m hosting next weekend!
Also, I the winning caption was “I wonder if she has vodka in that backpack. She can’t be that happy about running”
Love your “things your most proud of” and “what to expect from my blog”- I’ve been reading for over a year and definitely think that this is true! Keep it up 🙂
I love the “what to expect from my blog” section! You are such a positive and inspirational blogger. Even if you don’t have the best day – I feel like you try to spin some positive about it and it’s so refreshing!
3 things I’m most proud of: 1. Running (was NEVER the athlete growing up) 2. My babies 3. My ever-evolving relationship with my hubby
Michelle: Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoy reading. Congrats on running as I know how it feels to be a runner now after not being athletic as a child!
Those peanut butter kiss cookies look SO GOOD. I want one! =)
They are so delicious! In fact, they should probably go in my recipe section once I update that today! 🙂
Yay!!! I love reading everyone’s posts. Never expected it to catch on like this after I randomly came up with that post, but its so fun. 🙂
And you should definitely be proud of all those things. You’re so awesome!
1. I love pb blossoms. 2. I love that you talk about weight watchers. They are such an inspiration!
I am new to the blogging world, but truly enjoy reading your posts each day – they provide a lot of inspiration and are very honest. It’s great to know that there are so many fabulous ladies out there that share the same interests and challenges.
The 3 things that I’m most proud of are: 1) My marriage…I waited until I found “the one”. 2) My weight loss – I actually think I gained more in life than I lost in pounds. 3) My ability to leave my comfort zone – post college I moved to KY for a job knowing no one and ended up loving it. I found my way back north, but continue to push myself. Apart of that is training for my first full marathon that I want to plan to run in the spring.
What a fun post. I am going to have to steal this meme idea :)! Your blog is one of my favourites BECAUSE you’re so honest. Thanks Ashley!
