Okay…here we go!

I’m attempting to start a food/fitness/life blog, as I have been inspired by the good folks at FoodBuzz.com.  Bear with me; while I have a past in the blogoshpere, I’m fresh meat (I crack me up!) when it comes to a blog focused on food and fitness.  I will warn you, I am prone to going off on tangents.  I am prone to getting “personal.”  Hopefully, I won’t let y’all down, and this will prove to be an interesting (if anything) read.

In the oh-so-wise words of Tone Loc: “Let’s do this.”

So – the title of my blog:

That’s Hot.  And Hot = Us. 

I am a firm believer that outward hotness/beauty is a direct result of physical health and mental goodness.  These contribute to a confident attitude, and the trifecta of physical health-mind/soul connection-personal confidence makes for one hot piece hoo-ha.

The picture in my header, while cropped, is one taken from a photo shoot about a year ago.  I look at that picture and I feel hot.  I feel like I FELT hot when it was snapped.  I’ve grown up with modesty instilled in me, and being the sensitive, rule-abiding child I was, that modesty spiraled into a lack of a healthy self image.  I thought that if I felt good about the way I looked, I was vain, and that others would view me as vain.  If you’d like to read more about my journey in the self-image department, or are maybe in that boat yourself, I encourage you to visit the website for my awareness campaign, W.A.N.T

I am sitting here in a coffee shop and would love to go out and exercise before the day gets away from me.  Before I go, though, I’d love for you to try a little exercise.  Find a picture in which you feel you are especially “hot.”  You might not be all gussied up, but you look at that picture and exude confidence.  It might be in a bathing suit….it might be after you’ve given birth…it might be a picture of you running your first 5K….whatever it is, post it on your blog, write why you feel “hot,” and leave the link on a comment here.  Or just leave the picture on your comment (can you do that on WordPress?) as well as your little explanation :-)  Be proud of who you are…it is anything BUT vain.

Have a great Sunday — it is a beautiful day to be active and healthy!

 

Love,

Katie

    I knew you would eventually decide to do a blog, little did I know it would be so quick :) I look forward to following you both here and on Foodbuzz.

      Thank you for viewing! Again, here’s hoping that I will keep this updated…I’ve been inspired by Foodbuzz, and I am finding that I like knowing that I have a blog dedicated primarily to two of my passions, fitness and food. Hoping it will keep me experimenting on both those realms! Your blog is wonderful, as well as your entire website…..and I love the pictures from your sister’s shower! I’m sure she was thrilled with everything :-)
