Patty, the woman of heart and soul behind the blog Fit By My 50th! gave my blog the award shown above. Patty started her blog not long ago, but already I find it hard to imagine our blogging community without her warmth, generosity and authenticity. So, Patty, while I'm pulling hard for you to reach your weight loss goal by your birthday in August, I hope you will continue to blog for a long, long time!Now I get to pass this award along to five super blogs -- only five so not an easy task. Here goes:
- Shrink to Fit - Tena might be the first person to add my little newbie blog to her blogroll. I've learned so much from her from day one: drink your water!; keep going; be kind; and ride your bike! Also, a couple great recipes.
- Gravel and Rust - What's this? Another super blog by a member of the sisterhood in Texas?! In a word: Roxie is REAL. From chickens as neighbors to self-discovery, I never miss what Roxie has to say about her world.
- Losing Lisa One Pound at a Time - Don't let the blog's title fool you, Lisa is actually finding herself as she balances various challenges in her life while pursuing her goals through fitness and healthier eating. This quote reminds me of Lisa: “It's not how many times you fall that matters, it's how many times you get back up.”
- Truth2BeingFit - Jody is an amazing wellness-fitness blogger. You can count on really good information on all aspects of becoming fit and staying fit just about every day. She also finds time to write encouraging and thoughtful comments on so many blogs. What a dynamo!
- Every sisterhood needs the sisters who make us laugh. Even though Gigi at Chunky Monkey Mama and blogging ninja Camevil at 21 Days Later have already received this award, I wanted to acknowledge how much I appreciate their writing and humor.

Holy Cow! Lee, thank you so much!!! I had never heard of this award & I will check out all the sites you mentioned along with the info about this award so I can do that myself.
I have been blogging for 1 1/2 years but just got into the adding comments to other blog sites not too long ago.. maybe beginning of 2009. I am so glad I did because I have learned so much from all of you out there. Not only have I learned great fitness & wellness advice, but I have learned about amazing people & stories of overcoming great obstacles to improve your lives! I have great respect for you Lee & all out there. You are all amazing!!!!
Thx for all you do to bring wellness & just happiness to your readers!
You are so kind!! Thank you so much for the mention and congrats on your own award. It's good to have friends - cyber and otherwise.
By the way, I LOVE the name of your post!! I'm still laughing.
Thanks Lee! Your blog got me hooked, and I don't think I'll ever stop blogging. I actually already have another one in mind, when Fit By My 50th is no longer appropriate. So you will never get rid of me. ;-)
I love your post title--too cute!
I am so glad to see Tena's blog on your list. I haven't been reading her blog quite as long as yours, but I really love her blog too! and I love following Lisa's journey! I haven't left any comments but I have recently started checking out Jody's blog. She is in amazing shape!! Can you imagine if Gigi and Camevil had a show together? Just thinking about that makes me laugh! I'll be checking out Roxie's blog...how have I missed it?
As my sweet sister-in-law said, "Happy Mother's Day to everyone with a nurturing soul".
Lee, I just noticed that your bday is in November. So is mine & a brother & sis too. Mine is the on the 15th, my sis the 2nd & my bro the 8th.... do you match any of those dates???
I'm so touched! Thanks for the award and the nice things you said about me. I feel loved!
I learn a lot from you, too! You are always supportive and dig up good info to share! Lately I feel like my posts are lacking in content. Work has been draining me and I'm left with little to say. When this month is over things will settle down and I can get back in the groove.
I love the idea of being part of a "sisterhood of traveling sweatpants!" You, Roxie, and Patty I've gotten to know so well lately. I look forward to getting to know the others you mentioned.
Jody - yes, we have a match. My b-day is Nov. 2nd.
Patty - love this: "Happy Mother's Day to everyone with a nurturing soul."
Everyone - thanks for the really kind words; have a great day today!
Hi Lee!!
Thanks so much for including me in the sisterhood of the traveling sweatpants..... I love it!!
Losing weight is definitely a challenge... and without the support of my bloggy friends... I would be less inclined to succceed.
In fact.. I would probably hit the reese's peanut butter cups and feel sorry for myself.
Your blog is awesome and inspiring... Thanks for your support!
