I have joined in a couple of blog hops here and there and I have really enjoyed each one and have found some pretty spectacular blogs to visit and follow. One that I have wanted to try was the Aloha Blog Hop. Today is my first chance! I am so stoked because I love hops, love Hawaii (my grandparents lived there when I was a kid), and love meeting others. If you haven't yet, check it out by clicking on the button above. Follow your hosts and co-hosts, visit and have fun....I intend to. :)
Since this is my first time hopping here, I thought I would share five quick things about myself at the top of my head.
1- I am married and the mom of a teenager.
2- I love to read. As a child that was my total escape.
3- I live in Arizona and am originally from California. I have also lived in the East Coast which means I love all things seafood (including clam cakes and chowder), maple, foliage, Dunkin' Donuts' coffee, and when irritated I tend to speak with a very strong accent that apparently is intimidating. Go figure. :)
4- I work at a radio station as a midday host. In addition, I share thrifty tips on air weekly during the morning show and work the front office as well (lots of multitasking in radio). Because of my job, I have developed a love for Christian contemporary music in addition to other genres. You ask, I probably know the song. :)
5- I am trying to lose weight. It is my total obsession right now. Currently I am following the 5/2 diet (or Fast Diet). It has been pretty successful so far, and I will be updating that progress this weekend.
Well, I am off to discover more blogs. Happy Hopping!
***Me and my son being silly.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! This hop has been a blast! I'm following you now. I'm losing weight too so I'm excited to hear about the diet your following.
ReplyDeleteI love it so far. I think the hardest part is that I can't workout on my diet days because you only eat 500 calories on them. I am hoping to drop 20 on this and lose the rest (and there is a lot left after that) on a good eating plan. Thank you for the follow!
Deletethanks for visiting my blog and following. I'm following you back. Good luck with the 5/2 diet, I'll check your posts to see how it's working. Still trying to lose all those excess baby weight I put on for the past 5 years! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good luck with. I think it is going pretty well. The pounds aren't flying off, but I am happy so far. At least they are coming off. Thanks for the follow.
DeleteI really love hops too!! I've got hops scheduled for practically everyday :D It's the best way to find awesome blogs and get some views as well then maybe a follower or two :] So glad you are enjoying the Aloha blog hop! It's really great isn't it?! Love that you added some personal facts... I really love reading as well! And I wish you much luck on your weight loss journey. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by! I am just doing a few hops at a time. I get overwhelmed, but I really wanted to do the Aloha Friday Blog hop for a long time. :) It really is a great way to discover some awesome blogs. Thanks for the well-wishes on the weight loss. I am definitely over this excess baggage. :)
DeleteI just did a Daniel Fast and dropped 13 pounds. Took a week off, and now I'm going back on without the religious fast part. I can't believe the difference what I put in my body for one week made.
ReplyDeleteMy punishment as a child? Grounded from reading! ;)
I have heard great things about the Daniel Fast. I've never tried it. Did you get a book to learn what to do?
DeleteIm glad you were able to link up with the Aloha blog hop this week! I love to link up with them also.
