  105. Katie says

  115. Heather @TheSoulfulSpoon says

    Thanks for the giveaway!!:)

    As a HLB, I’m passionate about good food because I’m a nutrition major and love healthy foods, but even more than that, I’m passionate about eating a variety of healthy foods now, instead of fearing certain ones like I used to. Being passionate about health and embracing recovery from a previous eating disorder have now led me to appreciate health and food on a whole different level- as nourishment, not something to fear. It’s easy to be passionate about health, but when you can do it after formally fearing food and treating your body poorly through misusing food- it becomes such a beautiful gift of life.

    Thank you for this giveaway again!! I really enjoy your blog:)

  116. Brenda says

    I used to be passionate about eating healthy and exercise, now those are both in my life but they aren’t something that I care about THAT much. I would say I am passionate about being a good parent. That’s really on the front of my mind these days.

  118. Ana says

    As a nutritionist there is nothing I am more passionate than healthy, whole, real foods!! Nourishing yourself to maintain your body and soul healthy and happy is what I am passionate about!!

  124. Danica @ It's Progression says

    I’m passionate about living a healthy, BALANCED life – I think that making healthy choices is a lot easier than many people believe, and that’s why I’m working on my certification to become a Holistic Health Coach – so that I can support people (women especially) in their journey to healthy living. I’m starting my own business this coming year, and I’d absolutely love to read the advice Rachel Hofstetter has!

  125. Heather @fitncookies says

    I’m pretty passionate about adding fitness to your life to help your health! So many people think it’s just for weight loss, but it’s an overall excellent thing you can do for your body!

  126. Rebecca says

    I am passionate about running! I never used to be athletic or at all interested in working out, but discovering running helped me get into fitness and nutrition and completely turn around my life!
