SHN Favories 4-19-13

April 19, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt


Hello Friends!

Hey all!  How has your week been??

I have REALLY been TRYING to hold myself back from reading blogs or writing up blog posts since I need to be wrapping up my semester.  (Did you see the guest post I had on finding a healthier cereal?)

I’ve even been instituting social media lockdown via LeechBlocker.

Which means I have been watching more YouTube….that’s pretty much how it goes right?  I can’t wait until finals are over!!

Here is a wrap up of some of my favorite online finds over the past couple of weeks….

*Grab a button from the right of the blog if you were featured!!*

On Boston:
Favorite Tweets

Love, Strength, Boston by Pavement Runner

“Whoever did this obviously did not know sh* about Boston!” Love it!



Hilarity:
I added these videos to my new LOL playlist on YouTube.

If you have a cat OR a dog you can relate!

 

Healthy Life Posts:
Find Your Happy Weight by Tina Reale at Best Body Fitness
This is a must read post if you have ever dealt with weight loss or body image issues!  (And who hasn’t??)

Being Healthy-Are You Doing It Wrong by Janetha at Meals and Moves
A great post illustrating how healthy looks different on everyone…no one is perfect!

Inspiration:
I added both of these to my YouTube playlist Faith Talk.

What’s interesting is that I saw the first video before the Boston Marathon incident and now even more I think about how thankful I am that I have all of my limbs.  I can run!  I can (try to) do push-ups!  I am going to try to focus on this the next time I want to skip a workout out of sheer laziness!!

Oh hey, I almost forgot to let you know who won my Chobani birthday giveaway!  Congratulations to Joanna for her Twitter entry!  Send me an e-mail Joanna and I will get your case sent out in no time!

Happy Friday all!

I’m off to workout with sister Courtney (after I hug my cutie pie nephew) and then help Dave move!  Well, move all of his stuff to his parent’s basement since he has been living in hotels the past year.  🙂


*~Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut~*

 

P.S.  I’m accepting guest posts for the next couple of weeks so I can make myself focus on school and not worry about coming up with new posts!  Check out my guest post tab and shoot me and e-mail or tweet!

I love making new reader friends!  Feel free to comment below, or connect with me via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or e-mail: semihealthnut AT yahoo DOT com.  You can also follow posts via e-mail , Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, or my blog feed. Thank you so much for reading! 🙂
(Sharing is caring!)
