Fitness Pinspiration

Hello.  My name is Marie...and I'm a Pin-a-holic.

I've posted before about being hooked on Pinterest, but I'm finding an upside to my addiction.  There are a lot of REALLY good ideas there.  Ideas I actually use.

I know some people pin things just for fun, and I do have a few of boards like that as well.  But my favorite ones are those that actually teach me something and lift me up.

I have a board dedicated to fitness, and I've gathered some incredible workouts and exercise ideas.  I haven't tried all of them yet, but I have done quite a few.  And they WORK.  It helps me to mix up my routine so my body doesn't get stuck in a rut.  Another board of mine is filled with healthy recipes and food tips.  The recipes I have made so far turned out well...and are delicious as well as nutritious.  A win-win situation!

Then there's my Faith board...Bible verses and quotes are there to lift me up whenever I need encouragement.  It's so nice to have everything organized onto boards so I can go to the right category when I need something.  (Now I just need to get my house as organized as Pinterest...)

Of course I also keep boards of holiday and decorating ideas, books, and dance inspiration.  Oh yeah - I also have a section for clothes I want when I reach my goal weight.  That's good motivation right there!

If you wish to follow me over there I'm at http://www.pinterest.com/writerchicmarie .  We can swap ideas and all learn something to get us closer to our goals.  Come join the fun!

Ahh...Very Pinteresting!

I have an addiction.

No, not the sugar addiction - you already know all about that!  I am officially addicted to Pinterest.

It all began innocently (doesn't it always?) when a couple of friends suggested I follow them on Pinterest.  I set up an account and started out slowly.  But I've discovered in the past few weeks that I'm really getting into it.  I'm finding a lot of great fitness info and healthy recipes on there, plus sharing mine with others.  I'm also starting to find other interesting stuff on there: books, horses, etc....it's so much fun!

Yes, I'm still getting my workouts in...spin was awesome last night and I will be doing a Zumba DVD tonight in the nice cool basement (only cool room in the house - air conditioning's broken!).  But I'm also learning new exercises to try whenever I log on to Pinterest.  That can only help me be the best I can be!

So until there is a PA group - Pinterest Anonymous - please join me over there and follow me at http://pinterest.com/writerchicmarie/ .  We can all share with each other...and all reach our goals!
