Guest Post: Vote for Katie!

All right, y’all.  I have a teeny tiny favor to ask of you all.  Do you remember Katie from our Beautiful Christmas series?  Well, she is one of the top 5 finalists for Mamavation. (Read below to find out more.)

Will you pretty please (with sugar on top!)  read her post below and then click here to go vote for her?  From what I understand it’s a tie now and I would LOVE it if Cha-Ching on a Shoestring readers pushed her over the edge.  You can vote today (Wed.), tomorrow, and Thursday.  It will take you about 2 seconds x 3 = 6 seconds total.  I know that’s asking a lot, but would you do that for little ol’ me?

If you follow me on Twitter, you know exactly what the word “mamavation” means, because I have been eating, sleeping, and breathing it since I applied on January 1st. I am fortunate to have some followers left! 🙂 Basically, it’s a 7-week boot camp to help 2 moms get fit in 2010, and it’s supported by Smooth Fitness, Earth Footwear, EA SPORTS Active, Gaiam, Bookie Boo, and MomTV. The team gives you a ton of support with a nutritional plan, a fitness program, and much more! You can watch my application video and read all about my lil’ journey over at Frugal Femina.

I am so blessed to have made it into the top 5 finalists. Now I need you to vote daily so I can make it into the final 2! I already shared my measurements with thousands of people, so you know I am committed! 😉 But seriously, this is all part of my quest to make 2010 one of the most positive years ever. I’m finishing up my last semester of nursing school, reading through the Bible in 90 days, taking care of Xon and Bradley {aka Hubs and Little Munchkin}, and trying to take care of myself, too! I’m not Superwoman, but I do want to focus on good things this year and surround myself with good friends and family.

So I’m hopin’ you’ll cheer me on and head on over to Mamavation and vote. You can vote once a day from each IP address through the 21st. And I won’t mind a bit if you happen to spread the word amongst your friends. 🙂 Maybe I can encourage you all along the way! Mamavation is a great network of support, and you can be involved whether you have 200 pounds to lose or 0. We all need to stay healthy and fit!

Special thanks to Andrea at Mommy Snacks for being my Fit Friend and encouraging me throughout this campaign.
