I was just reading over at John is Fit and came across a reference to a post that Darren Rowse of ProBlogger wrote called: 7 Links for Bloggers. Basically you look at 7 posts that you’ve written that fit into 7 categories and talk about them in a summary post. It’s a great way to feature some of your best and popular work.  It’s also a great time to reflect about what you’re writing. So, here’s what I came up with:

The First Post

Getting into a Fit Mindset

This was the first post. I wrote this specific one, because I was starting my journey and I needed to do exactly what I was writing.  You see, this blog isn’t about what I’ve done.  It’s about what I need to do.  I follow every bit of advice that I write here.  I may not excel at it, but I’m trying. I wrote that and followed every word.  Looking back: it worked.

The Post I Enjoyed Writing the Most

Pros and Cons of Vegan, Vegetarian, and Omnivorous Diets

This post really started off as a quest to find out the answer to which diet I should have.  I did a ton of research while I was writing it and I just couldn’t stop writing.  Ultimately I found out that I’d be just fine as an omnivore – as long as I could control myself.  I thought I could and I did.  I’m still going strong. I still find myself referring back to this all the time.

A Post that had Great Discussion

Synthesizing Protein Build Muscle

This blog is fairly new, so discussion is a bit sparse.  Still, this post got two comments and is thus the most discussed.  People were able give me additional information that I could research, and it ultimately lead to a few more post ideas.  I hope to get more discussion in the future, but this is a start!

A Post that had a Title I was Proud of

Weight Loss Isn’t Everything

Not only did I like the title of this post, I really enjoyed reading it.  I wrote it after a female friend of mine was talking about how she lost 27 pounds in 3 weeks.  That’s just not healthy. She was starving herself and didn’t feel very good a lot of the time.  She was getting sick a lot too. Weight loss really isn’t everything. Being fit is everything.

A Post on Someone Else’s Blog I Wish I Had Written First

How to Wake Up Inspired

Think Simple Now is a relatively new blog to me.  I started reading about two months ago.  Inspiration and motivation are really the backbone of being fit and I realize that more and more every day.  This post really just hit home for me.  I wish I had thought of it first, let alone writing it first.  Very, very inspirational words here.

A Post I Wish More People had Read

11 Simple Tips to be More Fit

This post really sums up how to be successful in your fitness goals.  It came during a lull in readership, but I really think its gold.  It sums up everything you need to do, and I always go back to it to stay motivated and on track.  As a matter of fact it also inspired many of the posts that followed it, including one great one that’s coming up soon.

The Most Visited Post Ever

Supplemental Reading: Great Fitness Blogs

This post easily received twice the traffic that the next most visited post, but I think that’s for a few reasons: 1) it’s the latest post and I’ve grown quite a bit since the beginning of this blog, 2) it featured other people who in turn sent their readers here, and 3) it’s really a great post to launch from.  I think a lot of people are recommending it.

Give it a Shot

If you do a 7 link challenge post in the fitness realm, I’ll link it up here.  I’ll also be posting other ones I find.  It’s really a great way to get a cross-section of someone’s blog fairly quickly.  It’s also a blast to write, so hit me up with what you’ve got.
