I am the queen of starting blog posts and never actually finishing them. I was cleaning some things up on my website this week and realized that I have a ton of blog posts that I’ve started and never finished! The crazy part is that they are almost completely done, I just had a few final touches left, and then it kept getting pushed further and further down my to-do list, then so much time went by that I just never posted them. SO, I decided to give myself a challenge for the month of September. I am going to do a 30-Day Blogging Challenge where I do one blog post every single day! Crazy, right?
I have a few vlogs that are ready to post and not everything will necessarily be fitness related. Some things might be about mommy/kids stuff, some things might be about nutrition/meals, some things might be about family, etc. I want to write about things that I get commonly asked like training/supplements while breastfeeding, I want to write about my experience at the Mr. Olympia event I will be at the end of the month, I want to share with you some post-partum body thoughts I have had, tips for getting kids to eat healthy, making your own baby food, and I want to share with you some ideas I have for my 3-year old’s 4th birthday at the end of the month. I may throw a few guest blogs in here, so if you are interested in doing a guest post leave a comment below! Who knows, things might be really random, but I hope you enjoy it!
Your Friend,
Natalie

I LOVE this idea… After months of procrastinating on starting my own fitness/health blog I finally launched it about a week ago. So far I’ve posted four articles in that time which I’m really pumped about. However I can definitely see myself going down the road of drafts in the future like you mention. Starting them and then not putting those finishing touches on to post!! 🙂 I will keep this challenge in mind in the future and may use it to motivate myself when the time comes. Love your blog. Would love to collaborate on one someday! 🙂
HI Natalie! I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to weight lift again. I love how candid and honest you are! Before I get back in the gym and start lifting again, I had a question for you. I’m training for a trail half marathon in November. I run between 25-30 miles a week, would that be too much to start weight lifting? Do you have any suggestions or ideas? I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! :^)
Hey Wendy! Do you want to send me an email at nhodson1@gmail.com and we can get details for a guest post set up? I would love for you to do one!
Hi Natalie,
I just love you site and you story. Your a inspiring me to love my post pregnancy body while I’m getting back into shape. My little man is 2 months old and I too am breastfeeding, so I am trying to take it slow with the weight loss because I don’t want to jeopardize my milk supply. I have been trying to follow the clean eating plan a long with any type of exercise I can fit in between my two year old and my two month old.
I love all the different food you get from trader joes( and believe it or not I have never been there) and I was thinking you should do a blog day on what healthy foods you like to purchase from trader Joe’s and also costco.
Thanks for sharing you journey and you look amazing 🙂
Natalie,
Your posts are always awesome on so many levels! I love the content first and foremost. I’m also inspired that you are able to blog once daily for 30 days! IMPRESSIVE!! I blog myself. My goal is once per week and that doesn’t always happen. Kudos to you!! Thanks for helping moms everywhere. 🙂

Thanks Jill! I haven’t been as great with the challenge this week and posts have been a little more spread out. Oh well! It was a fun challenge but definitely not something I could keep up long term 🙂 It helped that I had a whole bunch of half-written posts that I just had to finish too.
After looking into a few of the articles on your site, I really like your
way of writing a blog. I saved as a favorite it to my
bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future.
Please check out my web site too and tell me what you think.
