Exactly one year ago today, I decided to start my own healthy living blog.
Crunches for Cupcakes was born!
What an exciting year it’s been. How can I sum it all up?!?! Maybe just a few highlights! Over the past 12 months, I’ve…
- Run 2 half marathons (October 2009 and May 2010)
- Run many shorter races including the Jingle Bell fun run, a St. Patrick’s Day 5K, the BAA 5K, and the Harpoon 5 miler
- Attended the FitBloggin conference
- Visited NYC (for fun and for BlogHer)
- Attended the 2nd Healthy Living Summit in Chicago
- Attended multiple blogger bashes
- ate Vegetarian meals for 5 days in a row
- Planned a blogger meetup
- Went ice skating at Fenway Park
- Vacationed in Mexico
- Quit my job
- Started a new job
- Attended 2 weddings
And I have lots of plans for the next year of blogging…
- Vacationing in Disney World
- Attending 1 wedding
- Running at least 2 Half Marathons
- Redesigning my blog
- Planning a European vacation
- Hosting our 2nd annual “Steinfest” party
- And much more…

Hey I didn’t realize you started your blog on Sept 3rd either…how fitting. Everyone has truly grown from your blog. They have followed you thru the year and certainly have gotten to know you much better. Some are so jealous of your life style and the eating est. you get to visit. We have learned about many different foods and recipes. And we have been entertained with Miles. Natasha always loved hearing about Miles and his adventures. Others never really got your blog at all did they. Too bad for them. Happy blogging!!! We are looking forward to another year of big doings. BIG BLING DOINGS….LOL
