You’re Number 1

IMG_8419 Fitness & Spice celebrated its first birthday over the weekend, you might have noticed the fireworks and all of the festivities nationwide.

That’s right, Fitness & Spice is a year old!

On July 5, 2009 Fitness & Spice was born a few minutes after I sat down at my computer and Googled: How to start a blog. The search engine popped up an article that in a nutshell said, if you want to start blog just start writing nobody’s reading anyway.

So I grabbed a cup of coffee and started to write.

And write.

And write, and write, and write. Well, you get the idea.

You know what I love most about blogging?

  • I get to write about what I love: Fitness, food, and fashion…whenever I want
  • I get to be the creative director, the author, the photographer, the editor, and the publisher every single day
  • I get to brag about my family and friends. Speaking of #1, did you hear my Dad got another hole in one on Saturday?!
  • I get to talk about amazing organizations like the American Heart Association and the Susan G. Komen Foundation
  • I get to set goals that help keep me accountable
  • I get to connect with people like YOU!

Thanks to all of you for reading, and reading, and reading…You really are #1!

Now I really must go to the gym, grab another cup of coffee, and get ready to begin the journey to the terrible terrific two’s!

Good job, Joanna!   Your blog is a must-read for me every day.  I admire your discipline and quest for a healthy life.  I love your sense of humor and, as a teacher, I give you the highest marks for your writing skills!  I’m sorry to report that I still eat more chocolate chip cookies than kale chips, but you’ve got me thinking about it!  Also, could your dad give me some golf tips?  How does he do it?????
