4. I love anything to do with arts /crafts, and baking.
5. I would love to start my own business, making floral arrangements / doing sugar craft (wedding cakes, etc).
6. I love MUSICALS and wish I could be in one! LOL - don't know if that is something you should admit!

All the blogs I have chosen (for both awards) are ones that I read everyday, sometimes many times during a day! They inspire me, make me smile, make me cry and make me feel every other emotion in-between. I can honestly say wihtout a shadow of a doubt that they are a major part of my success.
If anyone is trying to lose weight, I urge you to keep a blog, visit blogs of others who are in the same position, you will be uplifted when you are down and praised when you succeed! Its awesome to have such wonderful people with you on your journey, they will be with you every step, forwards or back. (Im going to stop gushing before I fill up! LOL)
In other words A MASSIVE THANK-YOU xoxo
Yay!! I get another award lol!! You are doing so well too, and I love the blogship (did I just make that up?) that we all have. Encouraging each other and commenting, its all great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon, a well deserved award too! I love your blog. It really does help to have the support and "blogship" HEHE (I think you did make it up! - its like my term "bloggersphere" I'm saying I made that one up! unless someone else claims it! LOL)
DeleteP.s. I checked out your brothers blog! It was a great read / loads of lovely pics.
Congratulations dear Sonia!! You rock. And a humble thanks as well. xo
ReplyDelete*anna
Thanks Anna. You are very welcome! xoxo
DeleteCongratulations again on your awards, and thank you so much for nominating me! I am honored that you would consider me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Veera, of course I would consider YOU! I love your blog, a daily staple for me.... You set such a great example with fitness / perseverance, the last few kilos are always the hardest to lose apparently, I'm dreading getting to that point. And yet you stick with it, determined to get to your goal. Its awesome and hugely inspiring. xoxo
DeleteCongrats on your award, I believe it is so well deserved! You are so encouraging and inspiring - it makes such a huge difference to know that support is out there! I'm psyched for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much Dawn! Take it from me it makes an enormous difference to have support. I look at it as my daily slimmers meeting. I know it can be difficult to find time in a busy schedules for blogging / replying to comments but you do get out what you put in. I really dont think I could have done it without all the support, no matter what I have faced (and there have been some pretty rough times) someone has always said the right thing at the right time to encourage me to continue!
DeleteYOU are doing AWESOME by the way - dont doubt yourself, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Big hugs xoxo
