They say its your blogiversary

014

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™ve been blogging for a WHOLE YEAR!!! Iโ€™m so happy that I decided to start this little hobby โ€“when the pilot told me I needed a new one after many hours spent online shopping– and have gotten to meet and โ€œknowโ€ so many amazing bloggies ๐Ÿ˜€ Thank you so much for a truly wonderful year.

So much has happenedโ€ฆ.

I said โ€œsee ya laterโ€ to the pilot for a 6 month deployment

Met some bloggers and now friends in โ€œreal lifeโ€

Taught aerobics, kept working as a personal trainer and dropped out of the MBA program here (Iโ€™ll probably be starting school again at another university in the fall)

And blogged my little heart out ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you to all of you for a beautiful year and for making me so honored to be a part of an amazing community!

    Happy blogiversary! I enjoy reading about your adventures. Trader Joe's is 1 mile from my house, so I'm always happy to send a care package. TJ almond butter for macaroons is a good swap to me!

    What a horribly unflattering picture of my hometown! ATL looks better than that… not that I could volunteer any of my own photos to replace it with :/ That's rather sad actually.
    -congrats on one year! I hope I get that far!

    Happy Blogaversary, Gina!
    I haven't had a chance to comment lately but I couldn't believe it when I read about that negative commentor. It's ironic because recently I have been thinking about finding my passion and thinking about what other bloggers do for a living and you entered my mind becuase you are having fun AND doing what you enjoy! You are awesome.

    Happy Blogiversary Gina! Ive been lurking for a few months now, and figured this was the perfect time to leave a comment and say thank you for all your wonderful health advice and encouragement. You are truly an inspiration for healthy living and strength!! I also just wanted to say thanks for the honest post about emotional eating yesterday. As a emotional eater myself it is nice to know Im not alone, and it can be managed! Sharing that gave me strength and hope. Can't wait for year two of Fitnessista!!
