MizFit (surprise) Commenter of the Month:
Wed, Feb 29, 2012
(cick on karen’s lovely locks if youre already READY to leave me for her. I understand.)
Please to me February’s Commenter of the Month the fabulous Waisting Time Karen!
I’ve read her blog since its inception and, for sake of sharing her awesomenessment, I shall pretend you’ve never clicked her way for a visit.
Yet.
Getting the first things out of the way, I experience pangs of envy at time from Karen’s posts and comments.
We’re not too far apart in age, but she’s already raised two amazing boys whereas Im old and tired just getting started.
I adore the way she writes & was heartened to find she’s an editor as well. She blogs, puts away, rereads, edits and THEN posts. I do the same (though admittedly it’s more evident in Karen’s flow) and may have cried had I learned her lovely lilting prose went immediately from fingertips to PUBLISH.
She may not see it—but she’s a weight-loss & fitness inspiration.
Shes honest about her perceived shortcomings (one of my faves being her experience with P90x & I like to pretend she never returned to it. Makes me feel better about myself), her struggle with snacking (especially in the evenings. I can relate), & is always ready with a word of encouragement or NEEDED REMINDER.
And her Thumbs Up Thumbs Down posts? The only big.thumbs.down. I give is to the fact I wasnt creative enough to have thought of it first.
I adore Karen.
Her way of writing, her humor, and the comments she leaves for me…for *us* here.
I appreciate Karen.
I encourage you, if when you opened this post you thought: KAREN WHO??, to click on over and say hello.
I promise you wont be sorry you did…

Just checked out Karen’s blog. I love when you do these surprise posts because I always find a new great blog to read! Thanks for sharing!
these surprise posts are the best
i’m sure it brought a smile to her face!
I love her writing, too!
Waaah.
It isn’t me LOL
I was glad to find Karen as a fellow mom of teens and her blog sucked me in and got me hooked. I find myself thinking in terms of “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down” when I am having “a day” and trying to put things in perspective.
ME TOO!!
oh yeah! the TEEN SPAWN thing!
thumbs up AND thumbs down
I LOVE Karen!!! Every little thing you wrote Carla & yes, she is so open & authentic! She lets people know it is OK to be human!
Heck yeah. K_A_R_E_N !!!! I loves her. She is awesomeness in this lovely blogosphere of ours. I always, always enjoy carousing on her blog. Err, but with a bottle of water in hand, although I could easily try reading her blog with a margarita.
Yay! New blog to read.
I love that you do this. I love it a lot.
Very fun blog.
I added her to my reader.
Thumbs up!!
Added to my Google reader
Miz, I love this idea of sharing the blog love. Thank you for sending me to another fabulous blogger’s site. Hurrah to Karen!!
Karen is awesome!
Karen’s great! I love her blog. She’s an inspiration.
OMG, she says, blushing:)
You are so sweet. I am at a loss for words. Which, as you know, hardly ever happens!
So let me just take a moment to tell you that you have been one of the stand outs to me in my blog life for many reasons. Not only because I love how you have taken your personality and made it shine in every word you write, (even your comments on other peoples blogs,) and not only because you are an amazing fitness/healthy living inspiration to so many (and I think of you every time I eat egg beaters and beef jerky), but also because you are the person who I can most credit with helping me actually “get” the fun of twitter:)
Thanks for this amazing honor, Carla. And thanks for so often bringing a smile to my face:)
Fantastic choice.
I love you do this, too.
I love Karen’s posts as well and they’re often thought-provoking for me.
She’s also a great blog reader and commenter – very very supportive!

Carla,it was a pleasure to see you spotlight Karen. I adore her voice, writing style and storytelling skills and she deserves to be recognized. Thanks for all that you do to bring healthy living humor and inspiration to people nationwide!
