Monday’s Website Shout Out – Two Fit Chicks & A Microphone

April 5, 2010 at 4:24 pm (Uncategorized)

Today is a buy one get two free shout out.  About this time last year I discovered a book titled “The Amazing Adventures of DietGirl” by Shauna Reid.  I was just starting my weight loss journey and browsing the health & wellness section at Barnes & Noble when I came across this book that changed my life.  Seriously, I’m not being dramtic here.   I love to read, but let’s face it books on diets are a bit bland.   I’m an open book so when I started reading the first few pages I was immediately hooked.  Shauna just laid it all out there for the world to see.  Who wouldn’t be inspired by such honesty and courage.  It is so much easier for me to follow the wisdom of someone that’s lived the experience than to just follow the science.  Would you agree?  I’ve never met Shauna in person, but maybe someday I will and you can bet I’m going to give her one great big hug for inspiring me and so many others.  Thank you Dietgirl from the bottom of my heart.

Shauna’s website is packed with resources and tips and she continues to blog about her personal journey to stay healthy.  Her most recent endeavor is podcasting with Mizfit, which brings me to my next website…….Mizfitonline.com.  Carla Birnberg is unapologetically herself.  These are her words, not mine.  Once again, thanks to Shauna, I found another woman to inspire and motivate.  Carla is open, quite frank, and intense.  Her blog often asks some very thought provoking questions to exercise the brain, but the fitness video demonstrations are the best.  It’s like having a personal trainer living in your computer.  You must check it out.  I did have the pleasure of meeting Carla for a brief moment in the elevator at Fitbloggin, but didn’t want to act like a crazy fan and bust out with a hug.  Maybe next year at Fitbloggin’11.

This brings me to my last shout out,  Two Fit Chick and A Microphone.  For me this is heaven.  Two women that inspire me daily have joined forces to help the world achieve their fitness & wellness goals.  I can hardly believe there are 11 podcasts already.  Don’t have iTunes?  No worries, you can listen to the podcasts on the website.

I promise you, you will be inspired by and eventually addicted to these websites.  Why are you still here….you should be taking my advice and scooting over to all three of these sites….go, seriously, get out of here.  Oh wait, do come back though and let me know what you think.  I’m sure they would love the comments as well.
