Love Link-Up

February 28, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

We made it! 21 days of loving ourselves and loving others!

Diary of a Semi-Health Nut Love Challenge

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, head over to see what the Love Challenge 2014 is all about! Don’t mind the fact that the url says “2013.” I’m apparently in denial about what the year (or month) actually is.

You still have time to enter the final Love Challenge giveaway of Justin’s nut butter, a giveaway which I wish I myself could enter. Just make sure you follow the rules (I will even allow posting twice today on the challenge loop as your active participation.).

I want to sincerely thank all those who were active in the Love Challenge this year! I really enjoyed hosting a challenge over at challenge loop. So much so that I’m trying to figure out what my next challenge could be…any ideas?

Anyhow, I had some very inspirational gals share how they were loving others and loving themselves and I want to high light some of them before you link up your love-related posts! It was hard to pick, but I managed to narrowed it down a bit. (If you are listed below and have a blog that I didn’t link, let me know!)

My Favorite Love Challenge Posts:

Diana from So Small So Strong was super active in the challenge and wrote a couple of love posts about the challenge. I was inspired multiple times by her kind gestures of love to those around her.

Alaina was also super active in the challenge. I thought this post fitting for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Alaina was super sweet to herself and to others throughout this challenge!

I was so excited to see that Summer won last week’s giveaway since she has been inspiring me regularly by loving others.

Rebecca from Strength and Sunshine is all about the yoga self-love!

Katie was such a sweetheart helping a coworker with boxes and I’m so happy she won the second love challenge giveaway from Seven Sundays!

Then there was Kim who was clearly an over-achiever..saving lost puppies and all! πŸ˜‰

Then of course I had some blends show up to the love challenge party…

Katie from Talk Less Say More showed me some new ways to love myself. I would have done the same thing as she wrote but probably taken chocolates and diet dew instead of wine. πŸ˜‰

 Kamila Gornia from Sensual Appeal made her parents pancakes…seriously how adorable is that??

And since I am running out of time before I fall asleep on my laptop…other shout-outs to:

Katie from Katie Looking Forward

Alex from Alex Runs for Food

Kaylin from Enticing Healthy Eating

 

In other news…

I’m looking for guest posters for next month! I need to buckle down on my NASM studying so send me an e-mail at semihealthnut at yahoo if you have a fitness post or recipe post for me! πŸ™‚
