resolution // socialize + enter to win

For those of you who saw this post last week, you know I'm on a mission to lose some weight this year.  The feedback and support I've gotten from the initial I'm going to DO this!" post has been so incredibly positive and wonderful, and more than I expected! 

And, a mini update for today: I've lost 7 lbs. so far.  That holiday weight is slipping off pretty quickly, luckily for me!  But I'm prepared for it to plateau soon; so far I've been sticking to the diet, but slacking on the exercise, which I know is just as important.  I keep making excuses, most of them involving the copious amounts of work I need to do (I'm editing several photo shoots and two weddings at the moment, in addition to keeping up with blogging as much as possible!), but really, I know there's no excuse and I need to man up and GO to the gym!

Anyway, to help support and promote other bloggers who are committed to a resolution in 2013, I hopped on board the Resolutions in Motion movement.  Resolutions In Motion is a 6-week challenge where the participants set a goal and work to achieve it. Every Tuesday, the hosts offer up inspirational guest posts, surprise giveaways, blog hops, and more.

So today, I'm co-hosting, and it's an exciting day to do it because there is also a giveaway involved in addition to making new blogger friends.  So check it out, link it up, and best of luck for the giveaway!  And don't forget about the Shannon Hearts giveaway; it ends in just a few days!
