Hello, hello! Welcome to the first post of the Best Body Fitness blog! I look forward to sharing many things in the future – fitness tips, motivation, healthy living topics, recipes, and more. As much fun as all that will bring, I also need to emphasize something. The blog portion of this site will keep a personal touch as well. The community and support that can develop through blogs and their readers should not be left out of a site dedicated to inspiring and achieving personal goals. So, I sincerely hope you will join me and participate just as you have over the past two years of my blogging career! It wouldn’t be the same without you!
So, let’s get caught up shall we?!
Obviously, I have spent a good portion of the past week hard at work on this site. Peter and I designed everything and I had quite a bit of background work on my hands as well. I had to make sure everything was well prepared to venture into the personal training side of things. AKA I needed to legally cover myself in lots of ways. It certainly took a lot of commitment, but I would have to say it’s worth it. I know I’m happy!
We have also been busy in other ways too. Lots of stuff on the home front. Things like preparing for Thanksgiving. Buying a new couch. Painting our dining room.
Nothing too exciting. Although, you may prefer the less exciting over the bigger “excitements” I have had recently. I’m currently getting over a non-too-pretty little medical situation. Over the weekend, I had a quite horrendous, ugly, and painful cyst appear under my arm. Turns out, I had to have some incisions to help that bad boy out. Can I just say that I did not realize how vital the armpit is in everyday movement? I have been barley able to move! Much less workout. Not the best news in the world when I have a half marathon this weekend!
If I have learned anything, though, it is that the body is strong. Even if I arrive at the start line on Saturday with stiff legs, I know I will get through the race. And I will have FUN. The most important thing of all, of course. To have FUN with my fitness. At least I know I will be well fueled.
Preview of what I plan to eat [x89437] come Thursday. Ohhhh…I can’t wait!
I hope you all have a spectacular Thanksgiving! And I for sure hope to see you back here on Best Body Fitness soon. Make sure you do the following, so I don’t lose ya as old things get taken down over time:
- SUBSCRIBE TO THE BLOG (BY READER OR BY EMAIL)
- STAY UP TO DATE ON FACEBOOK
- STILL FIND ME ON TWITTER (same account but new user name – @tinareale now)
Excited for the future together! I just know it’s going to be a wild ride!!!!
Have you ever left something behind to dive right into something new? How did you feel? Gonna be real here – because that’s the only way I roll – I am SCARED to leave behind the known. But also So. Incredibly. PUMPED!
Take a look around and let me know what you think! Definitely open to feedback. And feel free to sign up for training if you’re ready to get started over the holidays. Would love to work together!

You can always do online.

Do it!!!
See, everyone loves the new site. Nothing to be nervous about! It looks great and looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Hope your armpit feels better by then.
They had to pack it with gauze again. I asked if I could still run and she said definitely…but should be interesting running with a gauze inside my armpit this weekend. Lovely, I know. LOL
Congratulations! Your site looks amazing (dining room , too). Good luck with your new venture.

LOVE everything about this Tina. It is so YOU and I’m ridiculously happy and proud of this next phase in your life! xo!
Congrats on everything! It’s scary to make a change but I know it’s going to be great for you!
Congratulations-and thanks for not fading away! :0)
So exciting!
Like the new site (though my work computer is freaking out a bit. Sometimes it goes into blocking mode…eek!) I was kind of surprised that you took out the “faith” part knowing how important it is to you. And do you mean that fit looks good on “every body” or “everybody” because it looks good on everyone or on everyone’s body? I saw in the text on the front page something that made me think you meant “body.” Just wanted to let you know in case you meant something different! Good job on the site!
I struggled a lot with the faith aspect and how to name this site. I actually cried a LOT and prayed a LOT about all this. This just felt the most right and I’m trusting that the way I post and the way I live will still display who I am at the core and my love of God. It definitely still matters to me.
And I was between “every body” and “everbody” and wasn’t sure which one worked better.
I think it could go either way too … fitness is for EVERYBODY and for every body
Tricky!
I hope my computer at work doesn’t flip out so I can still read at work
Way to go, Tina! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Just glad you are back out in the blogosphere!
It looks so beautiful and so professional. Congrats again!

Congrats on the new site
I’m about to start a new chapter in my life in 18 days, and I know exactly how your feeling, but it’s for the best!
Do you remember the first time I PMed you on O2? You were the first person I even tried to communicate with on there, and I specifically remember how much just your journal inspired me. I’m pretty sure I even told you that. To this day, it still holds true. Congratulations, again, Tina!
Mwah, Melissa! And of course I remember.
I’m so proud of you Tina! I’ve already added the new blog to my Google Reader, ‘liked’ it on Facebook, and updated my blogroll, all within two minutes of reading the farewell post. I can’t wait to see what this new blog has in store for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
