Before I get into the “best of”, I just HAVE to tell you about pre-registration for the next fitmixer Bootcamp!!  This is semi-urgent news, as the slots available will FILL UP FAST and I want you guys to get in!!  And THAT’s why these sentences are in BOLD.  With some words in all caps.  THAT’S WHY! ;)

The Best Of Lindsay’s List!

These are the posts that I would print off and put in a scrapbook.  NOT the rambly posts (which I love for completely different reasons).  Writing these 5 posts helped me work through some things, shed light on my faith, or were just fun to write. 

On writing: Before I started this blog, I had notebooks and journals FULL of thoughts and daily musings.  The difference between then and now is that you get to WITNESS my thoughts.  What I love about writing is that it is so cathartic.  I can question HOW I feel on a subject and after writing on it, know WHAT my views are and WHY I stand by those views. 

Plus, writing is free.  And I’m cheap. 

My Top 5 Favorite Posts:

(if you missed the “Best Of” Tuesday Trainer, you should go back and read it – I won’t include it in the roundup, but TT’s are some of my very favorite posts because they feature YOU.  Oh, and I also didn’t include my very first blog post (mostly because it was rubbish, but think it at least deserves a link.  Gotta start somewhere.)

In no particular order…

1.  Will It Matter? 

Actually, this one might be my very favorite post.  It addresses BALANCE and PRIORITIES, two things that I often struggle with (as I know most of you do).  This post asks the question – “Will it matter in the long run?”  If the answer is NO, then you might want to reconsider this obligation/relationship/job/goal.

2.  My Eating Disorder Today

I’ve come SO very far from those dark days.  If you click on this link, it will show you all six installments of the “My Eating Disorder Series.”  VERY, VERY hard to write.  Worth it though, as I know that it helped at least 11 girls who have emailed me personally!  I’m so glad to have helped them, but writing this series was really for me – a type of therapy.

3.  Wednesday Worries

I need to re-read this post almost weekly.  Worrying will get you NOWHERE.  I’ve heard it said that, “worrying shows God that you don’t believe He will provide.”  True – Everything I need will be supplied to me.  Every last thing.  And if it isn’t, perhaps I don’t need it.

4.  My Fitness Truths

Loved writing this post – it just came so freely out of my fingertips.  I love MOVEMENT and fitness.  I love pushing myself. I’m very thankful that I CAN.  And I loved reading all of the comments about why YOU work out.

5.  Bite The Bullet

A post about “biting the bullet” and stepping outside of your comfort zone.  JUST DOING IT!!  In this case, with running my second half-marathon.  (hmm…maybe I should sign-up for another one.)

For a year, I’ve posted something nearly every single day.  These 5 are just the tip of the iceberg.  If you’re crazy like me, you should start at the beginning and read through (yes, I’ve done that – with THREE blogs so far!)

Birthday-Palooza GIVEAWAY TIME!!

Today’s giveaway is brought to you by the letter P Probar! 

As with most of my company involvement, the relationship with Probar started when we collaborated for Blend.  Fun fact: When I chose the companies I wanted to reach out to for Blend sponsorships, I literally took a pencil and pad through my pantry and made a list of brands I wanted to see in the swag bag.  Probar’s were already something I fed to my family (and felt VERY comfortable doing so!), so I knew I wanted to reach out to them.

Event planning tip 101 – Work with companies you already like!

Probar is generously giving away FIVE boxes of their Fruition bars to FIVE lucky readers!!  Yep, 5 winners!!  Enter away!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

This giveaway will run through Saturday night and I’ll post the winners on Sunday!!  Best of luck, my loves & Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Go look at the last two posts – GIVEAWAYS as well!
