My Little Towel Girl {Wordless/Wordful Wednesday}

January 17, 2012

in Wordless Wednesday

I’ve been running like a beast on the treadmill lately. 60 minutes. Yes! 60 minutes!

It’s hard work and I sweat like a pig, but I’ve got a cute little towel girl that helps me dry off at the end of my run.

How sweet is that?

In case you missed the annoucement…

I’m teaming up with a few friends to bring you an exciting, new winter photo challenge. The Poetic Winter Photography Challenge starts on Friday, February 3rd and is open to everyone regardless of skill level, time commitment, camera equipment or geographic location. We’ll have tips, tutorials and freebies each week. Stop by, share your photos and get inspired in a fun and friendly photo challenge environment!

Head on over to the Winter Photo Challenge Page to get a complete list of prompts and to learn more about the Poetic Winter Photography Challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by and linking up here at Live and Love Out Loud. I’ll do my best to visit as many link-ups as possible, but if I don’t make it over to your place please don’t take it personally. I’m not Superwoman! And of course, if you’re looking for even more folks to link up with, I’d love for you to visit a few of my friends…

You are sooooo good! This is my goal for this year to go on my treadmill at home for 45 minutes, but I was pretty lazy lately. Thanks for motivating me! I´ll start tomorrow morning (now it´s 11.23pm)!
Your little girl is so cute!

Happy WW!

You’re a better person than I. My husband just started going to the gym again, so I feel like I should do *something*. Maybe pick up doing yoga again, running is a bit much for me, lol.

That last photo is so sweet what a good helper!

Haha! I’ve been thinking about taking up yoga too. How long did you do yoga? Any tips?

6 Satakieli Twitter: satakieli January 17, 2012 at 9:42 pm: I did it for over a year back before I was married. Then again while I was pregnant with Mikey. The only trouble is it’s kinda boring so you have to make it a habit, I ended up missing a couple of days then couldn’t motivate myself to do it again.

That’s really good of you to go on the treadmill for 60 min. I don’t think I’ll be able to do it with my little one pestering me around 24/7.

38 Kristi Twitter: TweetingMama January 17, 2012 at 8:49 pm: It’s a challenge sometimes. Normally, my 2yo will sit and watch a movie in the same room with me or she’ll play Just Dance 3. But some days, she just wants to be held and cuddled and I’m more than okay with that. On those days, workouts just don’t happen.

Both sweet and sweaty. I’ve been at the gym a lot lately to. I have so much to lose!

44 Kristi Twitter: TweetingMama January 17, 2012 at 9:25 pm: I’ve finally got to the point where I don’t have tons to lose, but I have a lot of firming up that I’m still working on. It’s going to take some time, but I’ll get there. We both will.
