I was doing my usual early morning thing, waiting on the baby to wake and having my green tea while I check out up dates from bloggers I follow, and scoping out new ones that catch my eye when it happened. I stumbled across a blog many of you prolly already know about but I LOVE it! It has everything I could ever ask for in my quest for fitness.
Trainer Mama had me hooked from the first paragraph. I am in love with the information, how its put together, the pictures, the food, the recipes... for me it has it all. It was like discovering something I had been looking for that clicked. Earlier on this month in my new lifestyle change I was reading Susan Powters book The Politics of Stupid and although I love the information and I think Susan is dead on with what shes saying, I just *cringe* dont really like her... ummmm... delivery? Or attitude or something.
Any how, while I clicked with Susans philosophy I didn't feel like she was a good fit for me in the way I would like. I am a person who gets slightly obsessed with something I am focusing on. Ok a lil more than slightly. I love information and tons of it. I read everything I can and enjoy seeking out whats going to best work. I am also a person who needs upbeat and inspiring people to keep my momentum up when I feel less than inspired myself. I think this is what attracts me to the "Blogger" world; the opportunity to read such meaningful articles and posts by people has on more than one occasion gotten my fat rump outta my chair to get fit.
Trainer Mama was an ah-ha! site for me. Like shes the big sister in my fitness family. The sister you always strive to be more like :) Its like the site walks with me hand in hand, showing me cool new exercise things I may not have thought about but would have a blast doing, i.e. weighted Hula Hooping! And what fun for the kids as well! I am hooked on seeing what she eats everyday. I mean every day. We get to see what it is and she provides pictures and recipes! At any rate I hope if you havent dropped by this site you might just go take a peek :) I LOVE IT!!!
Ok, enough raving I'm getting my fat booty up and going to do the Biggest Loser work out game for my Wii. Due to my ouchie foot from yesterday and the fact its raining hard out I am stuck indoors attempting to break a sweat. I haven't tried the B/L workout game yet, Ive watched it, haven't tried it and I'm thinking Jillians going to make me cry.
What are your favorite weight loss blogs/sites?

That reminds me...I need to play some Wii tennis and get a good workout in. I love that game.
ReplyDeleteAside from my blog...and yours, my favorite is 344pounds.com.
Wow, Trainer Mama looks great but does she carry a camera EVERYWHERE she goes? Oh my goodness! She must have more time than I do :)
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness Al! trainer Bob kicked my butt! (yes I picked Bob instead of Jillian :))) I love tennis on the Wii. Do you have Sports Resort? I am the champ at ping pong return challenge, at least in this house :))) :P And by the time I lost my ball I could really feel it in my muscle under my arms.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I too am a camera fanatic. I always have my camera on me, I hate to miss a real moment and be left saying "Ohhhh I wish I had my camera!" Im such a visual person its like a game to find beauty in the everyday for me and capture it. I can so relate to Trainer Mama and all her photos...
