Let me start by saying I was STUNNED to receive a pair of awards on Friday! Once I recovered from my shock, I had to start thinking about who to pass them along to; there are so many wonderful people its hard to choose. :)
The Stiletto Award
A HUGE thank you to "Scuttleboose" at Lose the Boredom! for nominating me for The Stiletto Award! She is always leaving me encouraging comments & has a ton of yummy recipes posted on her blog, so check it out if you haven't already. :)
If you want the full scoop on The Stiletto Award, here's where to find it.
Fun side note before I pass this along. When I went shopping a few weeks ago, I bought this pair of shoes... which loosely resemble the stiletto pic... and they are size 7 (my feet are shrinking too).
The "Rules"
1. Display the Stiletto badge of honor.
2. Brag about it - post a link to the page to highlight what the award is about.
3. Say thanks! Include a link to the friend who nominated you.
4. Share the love-nominate 5-10 more blogs. Leave links to their blogs and leave them a comment so they know they won!
5. Do what you do! Keep at it and keep inspiring others.
In no particular order, here are my nominations for The Stiletto Award:
- Buzzy & Breezelys Mama at The Fat Chick Weigh - She is one tough lady & I always enjoy reading her blog.
- Chris at A Deliberate Life - Chris is awesome! She speaks from the heart & thinks about people in all stages of their journey.
- Lyn at Escape from Obesity - Lyn has so many great insights & I love the honesty of her writing.
- Shelli at Skinny Jeans Fat Wallet - Shelli has a vibrancy & zest for life that is contagious.
- "Mama Pimp" at Its Just Me, Drazil & Sheniqua - Do I even need to say anything about her? She's one of the funniest ladies out there!
There ya have it, The Stiletto Award, and thank goodness I didn't have to put on those heels to dish it out... lol.
The Sunshine Award (for supportive comments)
This award came from Whitney at Fat Girl in a Wedding Dress. Whitney is on a mission & she has such a positive self-image; its a joy to read her blog. Be sure to check it out! Thank you so much for this award, I'm glad my comments give you encouragement. :)
Now I get to pass it on to ten people who leave me supportive comments. I treasure each & every comment I receive, so rather than choose "favorites" I think I'm going to take a cue from Whitney and go with the last ten people to leave me comments. Here they are:
Splurgie @ What A Splurge
Melissa @ Melissa's Adventures in Living Life
PhluffyPrincess @ Fighting My Fat Gene
Dani @ Well-Rounded Woman
Betty Rubble @ I'm Loosing It!
Mary Fran @ A New Start: Losing Weight
Scuttleboose @ Lose the Boredom!
Drazil @ Its Just Me, Drazil & Sheniqua
Chris @ A Deliberate Life
Mandy @ Finally Finishing It!
There ya go, the ten most recent commenter's on my blog... except my "anonymous" commenter. I know who she is, but she's sweet enough to stay "in hiding" so that none of our mutual friends find my blog, lol. She deserves a Sunshine Award too! :)
I have another post rattling around in my mind, but my body protests and says I need sleep... could it be all the hours I've spent at the gym?!? lol
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
