Friday's Featured Female – Sam Bangs of Life Is Bangin'

By |December 6th, 2013|

 

This series features inspirational stories from admirable women.  IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

Today I have another fellow FitBloggin’ 2013 attendee who happens to reside in the LA area, Sam Bangs of Life Is Bangin‘.  Sam is not only a personal trainer and coach for the Fleet Feet Sports Burbank Running Training Programs but she’s also an Ambassador for Greatist, SweatPink (like me) and GirlsGoneSporty.  We had a fun night together when Sam asked me to appear as the in-house Registered Dietitian for the Diva Night at Fleet Feet Sports Burbank back in October.  There are many layers to this stunning and sassy girl from the East Coast and I’m really happy she’s guest posting here today.  Soooo have you met Sam?

Dr. BangsLove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Myself

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. Not yet anyway.

 

“I’m wonderful! I’m nuts about me! … I’ll tell you want I want. I want a home and I want a family—and I want a career, too. And I want a dog and I want a cat and I want three goldfish. I want everything! There’s no harm in wanting it … because there’s not a chance in hell we’re going to get it all anyway. But if you don’t want it you’ve got even less chance than that…”

Friday's Featured Female – Maribel Reyes of Stroller Adventures

By |November 29th, 2013|

Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!
This series features inspirational stories from admirable women.  IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

 

Today, I’m so happy to have a post from the lovely Maribel@Stroller Adventures.  I met Maribel at Bloggy Boot Camp Vegas and as an active member of the So Cal Lady Bloggers, she’s given me a ton of support as this blog has developed.  Maribel recently moved from Northern California to Costa Rica(!) with her husband and two children.  Along with many trials and tribulations that come along with moving to a new country, Maribel has been blogging about her weight loss journey.  I love Maribel’s spirit and passion to make a life long change for her health and I know you need to hear her story.  Sooo, haaave you met Maribel?

 

My weight loss journey began in June 2012 (after 11 years of not paying much attention to my weight), I felt it was finally time I set myself up for success with my traditional new year’s resolution. To jump start my weight loss, I participated in a blogger based weight loss program in which I documented my progress and shared all about it, the good and the bad. It was a challenge to change my lifestyle but not impossible. Thankfully I had my family and friends support, not only did they cheer me on and celebrate my accomplishments but they also supported me when I felt I could no longer continue.
