Blogging birthday giveaway

by workoutmommy on September 17, 2010

This week marks my THREE year blogging anniversary!  I am not quite sure how 3 years has gone by so fast?!

Why did I start this blog?  To keep myself accountable with my own fitness after the birth of boy #2.

I never realized that it would morph into so much more.   I’ve made some amazing friendships here and just want to thank ALL of you for your support and friendship.   I won’t try to list everyone because I am lazy worried that I will forget someone. So just know that I am talking to YOU!

In celebration of my birthday, I am giving away a few presents.  See all these fine items?  They are:

** Two running shirts (size M) from MyMottoz.   (“Will Run for Chocolate” and “It’s not fat, it’s fuel”)

**The Lifestyle Fitness Program by the Mojo Coach herself!  (she is such a nice person!)

**Weight Watchers Eat! Move! Play!

**Happy Baby, Fit Mama!

**Runervals with Iron Girl – Treadmill Training DVD

Just leave a comment with link of the first blog you ever started reading.  I will pick winners at random on Sunday, September 26th at 9pm.

Never underestimate the power of workout gang!

The first blog I ever started reading is my friend Mel’s. She has a witty way of writing that I find amusing and I love her honesty when it comes to the nitty gritty details of life as a parent. It helped me to not feel alone in the madness. :)

Happy Blog A Versary!

I started reading Roni’s original weight loss blog Weight Watchen in 2006 and she inspired me to start my blog. :)

Tammy A. Thiel September 17, 2010 at 5:12 pm

I have been following your tweets on twitter for sometime. I just finally subscribed to your blog to keep up. Happy 3rd Birthday!

The first blog i ever read was yours! Do you mind sharing an anniversary?

Lea @ Healthy Coconut September 17, 2010 at 6:15 pm

I don’t remember exactly how I got started reading blogs, I think I googled for a recipe. But the first blog I remember consistently reading was Angela’s at Oh She Glows. I’m glad I found her blog or I would not have started drinking or known anything about Green Monsters.

The first blog I EVER read was my friend’s blog. It was also my first exposure to the blogging world. I can’t link to it because it has since been moved and made private, but it was enough to get ME going. How about a link to the first blog I ever created? themommy15 (dot) blogspot (dot) com — also my attempt to lose pregnancy weight from my twins. But I haven’t been as good as you about keeping up on it! :-) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Toni September 17, 2010 at 8:26 pm

The runners kitchen was the first blog I ever read and then went on to discover many other wonderful blogs like yours! Happy Birthday!

Jack Sh*t September 17, 2010 at 9:48 pm

The blog that got it started for me was steve version 4.6. Totally sucked me in…

Ah, the first blog I read was called “chemacchino” and is no longer around (it belonged to a college friend.) Then I started writing for “tamponblog” – http://tamponblog.blogspot.com/ – which was fun, but it died out a few years ago. Of course then my blog-reading exploded such that I can’t keep up and simply follow folks on twitter, popping into their blogs when convenient!

tricia September 17, 2010 at 10:14 pm

The first blog I started reading was crankyfitness.com

Happy blogiversary

Shana September 18, 2010 at 7:09 am

forthemommas.com was my first.

:) Happy 3 years!

Aimee September 18, 2010 at 7:36 am

My first blog I started reading was Simplfy 101..

Susan September 18, 2010 at 8:37 am

I am new to the blog world. The first blog I read was carrotsncake.com. I now read dozens per week and live reading about the trials, triumphs, and every day of others.

Lisa September 18, 2010 at 9:39 am

The Pioneer Woman… all that food and I definitely need to work out! Happy Birthday!

Jenn September 18, 2010 at 12:50 pm

I am pretty sure the first blog I started consistently readying was Roni’s Weigh. And it was through her blog that I found yours! What a great community!

The Longest Year was the first blog I read.

Janice - Mom on the Run September 20, 2010 at 9:36 am

The first two blogs I started reading were six (almost 7) years ago when I first began blogging (I can’t believe my own blog is that “OLD”). They were: Chris from Rude Cactus and my best friend Kimmie from One Lazy Blonde (she doesn’t blog anymore because of some crazy cyber stalker). That said, I think I’ve been reading your blog almost since you first began too. I remember you announcing your pregnancy with #3 and following along since then (maybe even before!).

Natalie Kennedy September 20, 2010 at 5:33 pm

Man, I don’t think I can even remember what the first blog I started reading was, it’s been so long. It was probably a friend’s ‘family blog’ or a rubber stamping/card making blog, although I can’t say which. Once I figured out how easy they were to create, I made my own, and I have one of the longest running blogs of all my blogging friends.

Hmmm, not sure the first one, I know Dietgirl, pastaqueen, and mizfitonline were of the first though.

Betsy September 21, 2010 at 12:23 pm

Congratulations on 3 years! I think my first blog I ever read was 3 fat chicks.

I just found your site and love it! I will definitely be back. It’s motivation I need for sure!

Heidi September 21, 2010 at 5:41 pm

Wow what a generous gift! You are awesome Lisa.

The first blog I followed was my friend Jessica’s. She is a great writer and I was always inspired after reading her posts.
