In an effort to help revitalize my Pinterest life, I have joined Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean for her fourth “Pin It Party”!

All bloggers are welcome to participate! Here’s what you do:

  • Round up 5 blog posts you’ve written that you would like to see on Pinterest.
  • Make sure there is a nice, pinnable image or photo included in each post.
  • Write a short post featuring the posts you chose- ie, put 5 nice images & links to the posts all in one place, along with a short description of each post.
  • On Thursday, publish your post, then visit The Bean and add your post to the linkup! (If you’re just reading this today and still want to participate, just publish in the next few days…the linkup open for about a week!)

Here are some of my favorite posts that I wrote lately. Check them out and pin if you found them useful!

Great posts! You are so right about progress and the pooch! I am an elite athlete, who runs 70 miles a week, and I still have a little pooch! It is all about strength and working with what genetics we have. Love who you are 🙂

Came from the Pinterest party … I’ll admit, I’ve heard all the crossfit hoopla but still don’t totally understand what it is all about. Checking out and pinning your “CrossFit for Dummies” … not committing to actually TRYING it, but I’ll read about it!

Following you on FB now too 🙂
