1. Hootsuite
Since starting
this blog a year or so ago I have changed a lot in my privacy preferences.
At first the
blog was completely anonymous and I would use an alias as my signature. The
only thing that tied me to the blog was my picture. None of my friends and
family knew I had the blog and I’m guessing that not even my husband knew about
it. After a while of being anonymous and losing some weight I began to get a
lot of questions as to how I was losing the weight. After telling the same
story 50 million times (okay, maybe 20 times) I decided that I would open up my
blog a little more and maybe post a few blog posts to my personal Facebook
page. The posts were well received and I
got a ton of positive feedback from my friends. This positive environment led
me to believe that maybe I really did have something to say and that maybe
there were people out there that felt the same way (depressed and fat). This
led me to beg my husband to let me buy my domain name (he let me buy it). So with
the domain name purchased I began to want to spread my wings into social media
and along with that came my FHAF Facebook page and now my Twitter page. I was
hesitant to sign up for so many social pages because I thought to myself, “How
the hell am I going to have the time to post to every single page?!?!?” Well,
guess what I did today, I Google searched that question above and came up with
Hootsuite.
Hootsuite is
amazing! It allows me to post simultaneously to all my social media pages. It’s
pure genius and had I known it existed earlier I probably wouldn’t have been so
hesitant to have so many social media accounts. Whoot, Whoot for Hootsuite!!!
Hahaha!
2. My Bodybugg
Have I mentioned
that I love my Bodybugg? Oh yeah, only here, here, here and here, right?!?! Well
today marks a month with the Bodybugg and I’ve lost 7 legitimate pounds. You
have no idea how happy this makes me. Three months of not losing was really
beginning to bum me out. Thank god I splurged on my handy device! It’s definitely
worth every penny.
3. My Kitchen
I think my
cooking motivation has come back. Those portobello mushroom tops gave me the
bug to cook again. I’m thinking that this weekend I am going to devote some
time to cooking some breakfast recipes and a protein muffin, cookie or bar.
4. The Weather
The weather here
is beautiful. It actually feels like summer. I also heard that the weekend is
going to be super warm too! I can’t wait to be out of the office and into the
sunlight.
5. My iPod
I love music. It’s
no secret either. I have almost 13,000 songs on my iPod and they are all good
songs. If my husband were to be sitting next to me typing this he would be
saying, “You inherited all that music when we got married.” However, I think
that I’ve always liked music. Yesterday, my husband uploaded some new CD’s into
iTunes and today I’m enjoying all the new music on my iPod. I love that about
my iPod, my love for it gets renewed every time I get new music.
