Hi blog buds!
Yesterday in closing I mentioned an upcoming Flex-it Friday. We had a little fun with this back in November for our first Flex-it Friday, showcasing our biceps. We had a lot of laughs, so when Cindy announced her 30 Day Core Challenge in January I figured the end of that challenge called for another round of Flex-it Friday to let everyone show off their hard work! And the rest of us who did not do the challenge (like me) have a reason to eat super-clean for the next week and maybe slap on some sunless tanner to get our abs ready for photo time! 
If anything it will help us keep our mitts out of the Valentine’s Day chocolate, right?
Here’s how it works: take a pic of your best ab-flexin’ shot with something to let us know it’s YOU (and not Dana Torres) and email to me at shari at fitfeat dot com. (Had to write that out to keep those darn spammers from grabbing my email.) Serious AND silly pics will both be accepted so have some fun! If you are also a blogger, I will mention (and link) your blog with your photo, so if you are a new blogger it’s a fun way to get a little extra traffic! I’ll accept pics through Thursday Feb 18 at 4:00 PM MST and then the blog post will be up on Friday the 19th.

Giveaways in the blogosphere:
- Christy at Fit in the City is hosting her first giveaway with an autographed copy of The Blue Zones through tonight. I’ve not had the opportunity to read this one but I did see it featured on Oprah and it’s REALLY interesting!
- Gena at Choosing Raw is giving away a Tribest portable blender, which looks awesome and would be a GREAT way to make green smoothies at WORK!
You can bet I’ll be entering both of these and thought you might be interested too! Who wouldn’t love to win something fun?

I had dinner last night at one of the coolest restaurants, so I’ll be showing you some pictures and telling you all about it! I’m hoping to do this yet today, depending on how the day goes.

And because this is also a FITNESS blog, I better get yesterday’s workout on record: 52 minutes of Iron Yoga (wearing my VFFs, which ROCK for yoga) followed by 20 minutes of speedwork on the treadmill (also in the VFFs). I am LOVING my bday unshoes.
Make it a GREAT day everyone! See you back here soon!
– Shari B. =)

Ooo an ab challenge! I don’t know how brave enough I’ll be to take a photo of them, it doesn’t help I have a whole week of celebrations and eating out to attend
We will see!!

Fallon, be brave girlfriend! It’s the middle of winter – the worst possible time for us to reveal our abs, I’m sure! But hopefully it will motivate us all to kick it into high gear before spring arrives and we have to start thinking about things like tank tops and bathing suits!

Hi Christy! Hope you had fun with your speedwork! Stay warm and hope you aren’t snowed in TOO badly!
