No my name is not HOV!!! However, I know some of you had this in your head, so for your pleasure….
Jigga fans stand up 😉 !
Oh, I am supposed to be helping Kim kick off her September Sapphire Even Day Blog Challenge!
Today’s prompt: “Debut” – Introduce yourself and your blog. What is the meaning behind your blog’s name?
Do you know Kim of Being A Wordsmith?
Btw Kim, you were the top commenter in July. Email me at RxFitnessLady(at)gmail(dot)com with your mailing address if you want your prize! Congratulations!
I met her “virtually” about 4 months ago. What a blessing! Currently, I refer to her as my blog sister. It’s not that our blogs are similar, in fact..she’s a writer. Seriously, she has a book coming out this month. It’s the fact that we connect on so many levels about life. We are forever calling out similarities to the point where now, it’s just like “of course you do this, because I do it!!!”
Anywho, you know I am supporting her as best I can this month on even days!
She helped me create a new Facebook Cover collage with this prompt!
If you are a newer reader or haven’t had a chance to check out my about me page, there’s an author box at he bottom of each post that gives you the nitty gritty in a quickie!
THE MEANING BEHIND MY BLOG NAME
Often affectionately referred to as PFL by me. I spent a few weeks coming up with my blog name and tag line “Live Healthy & Active. Be Prosperous”
Rx = Prescription and it is representative of my healthcare background as a pharmacist. This is also where the P comes from in PFL 🙂 !
I blog about physical and mental health related issues, so that seemed appropriate to me.
I mentioned in a previous post that it matters not to me whether you refer to me as R-X Fitness Lady or Prescription Fitness Lady as long as you know how to type either one into your web browser…Em K 😉 !
Fitness – of course comes from my background as an athlete turned fitness instructor. I teach multiple group fitness classes per week and sometimes throw in some other fitness challenges.
I blog about my adventures in the world of fitness, how you can stay motivated to live healthy and active lifestyles, & sometimes include others along their fitness journey for motivation and inspiration.
Lady – was inspired by Melinda Emerson but most appropriate for me.
My mission statement is that I’m a passionate and efficient Healthcare & Independent Fitness Professional who mentors people to live healthy, goal driven lifestyles that promote positive self-images.
At the end of the day, I want to be a good role model in my community and I’d like to be a young lady that women and young girls look up to.
I feel that a Lady, handles her business on a number of levels! This pretty much leaves my blog open to discuss whatever I choose in addition to healthcare and fitness and that is exactly how I like it!
I am more of a Lifestyle Wellness Blogger as opposed to Fitness Blogger.
There you have it! You can read my very first post here is you want a tad bit more!
The prosperity portion of my blog has gone lacking more than I’d like to admit but thanks to Kim, Wednesday’s post will fall nicely into that category.
I also have written a few posts on blogging that are always fairly popular and I never even factored that into the equation when I was planning for PFL. The most recent blog post is “Why I Respond to Blog Comments”, check it out! That’s another thing I do here at PFL 🙂
That goes to show, when you jump into this blogging world, some modifications are made for the better if they are working for you.
I hope you will continue along this month as I am hosting a 7 day mini challenge as well in a few weeks. You still have time to R.S.V.P. here! I’ll be looking forward to it. I hope you are having fun preparing your posts!
Thank you Kim for today’s prompt!
Rx Fitness Lady wants to know…
- Do you think I hit the target with my blog posts based on what I’ve shared with you today?

Thanks for being an original supporter Nellie! I so appreciate you welcoming me into this world and keeping me on my toes along the way! My little blogging mommy 🙂
Nice to meet you again its always good to introduce yourself for new readers. Hope you are having a great holiday weekend.
Kita recently posted…The fun of Fundraisers
Thanks Kita! You were one of the first friends I made and I’m glad we are still hanging on!
I think for the sheer fact that I was typing r x into the search engine I would mentally say “Rx” instead of prescription.
I will have to go and check out your blogster(blog sister). If she is similar to you then I KNOW I’ll enjoy her blog.
Veronica recently posted…Favorite Calorie Burners
I look forward to you stopping by, Veronica.
Kimberly H. Smith recently posted…Are You Ready For Your Close-Up?
Thanks for checking her out Veronica and for your friendship in this space!
This was a great prompt. There were some really great writing prompts throughout the challenge. Love the FB cover collage. Very nice…
Hope recently posted…The tooth fairy vs the 6 year old
Thank you Hope! It’s my first change of my cover since launching the blog. I appreciate you commenting on it 🙂
Joi, I think you are totally nailing your content to your title and post topics!!!
I always think that the challenges sound great and have plans to do them but for now it is just not fitting into my blog plans. I love your upcoming challenge but I know that (for me anyway) it will take time to prepare and really do it right and that extra time is stressing me right now so I will just read and enjoy all the other participants!!!
Kim recently posted…Labor Day
You are a busy lady right now Kim and I totally understand. Maybe next time! I appreciate you reading the post though, always good to have support wherever we can get it.
I clearly did not get enough sleep because I was totally not getting how Kim was getting her days when I looked at the prompt. If I read it and missed it , oops!
I think you got it! Of course, after reading your blog for some time now I feel like I “know” you. Does one ever really know someone virtually?
Carla recently posted…September Loves
Carli I feel that we do but I know there is something about meeting in person that will just lock it all together. I promise, I feel closer to some of you than I do to people I see on a regular in real life. It’s weird, but you can’t chat and check in on people regularly from week to week without feeling some since of who they are, granted, they are being real out here in this blog world. I totally feel that you keep it real. Yep, I know you boo 🙂
Joi, Joi, Joi! If I could reach through this computer and hug you, I would! I listened to the Jay-Z clip while I read the post. Fantastic set-up. I was the top commenter? Heyyyy. I’ll e-mail you about that. Your fb cover is fabulous. Love how you incorporated all the facets of your life including family into it. I tell you all the time how much I appreciate your support and sisterhood, and today is no different. You are a gem, my blog soulmate. Thank you for your kindness. Can’t wait to see your posts for my challenge this month.
Kimberly H. Smith recently posted…Are You Ready For Your Close-Up?
Ha, love you too boo & *Air Hug*!!!! Thanks going right back to you! You are the best!!!
It’s great to get to know you some more Joi! I love the philosophy behind your blog. I think this is the perfect debut!
FitBritt@MyOwnBalance recently posted…Labor Day Recap
Thanks Brittany! Super glad new friends like you get to read this post!
I love Kim! I love you re-introducing yourself. It’s nice for refreshers every now and then, especially considering that I haven’t know you for too long. It feels long, though! We’ve gone through two or three seasons together.
I’m totally enjoying this music while I write..
I’ve never done an even day blog challenge. Do I think you hit the target with what you’ve shared? Yes. All of that and more.
Tamara recently posted…Bust a Move.
Thanks for the feedback my writing friend! I appreciate getting perspectives from all you talented women! It does feel like we’ve known each other. You share so intimately through writing, I feel that I probably know you better than you know me, lol! It’s your gift! Be encouraged to continue to inspire people…even your comments are different 🙂
I love that you are reintroducing yourself. I jumped into your blog world not so long ago – and have loved everything about it – but it’s nice to get some background. You know what I like best? How much I am learning from you. We have different lives, but I love being exposed to so many new things through you. You are so positive, upbeat, motivating – so yes, you are hitting the mark on all your blogging posts!
Leah Davidson recently posted…More Beaching
Oh Leah, you have made my day with this comment! I appreciate this feedback so much especially from a reader who has just joined in recently. I appreciate your friendship. It’s nice to know that new people will continue to come along this journey. I have enjoyed the uniqueness of your blog & it has turned out, that I am “needing to know” more about what you blog about…more on that later 😉 Even before, I loved reading it, you have an amazing family!!!
Since I’m new to your blog, it was nice to read this! I know so much more about you now. I like how you shared that you’re a “Lifestyle Wellness Blogger as opposed to Fitness Blogger”. That’s awesome.
I am continually on the quest of wellness, so discovering your blog is nothing short of a blessing.
Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo

It’s a blessing to have you here Jennifer! I thank you for your very kind words!!!
well this certainly helped clarify some things for me! while “fitness” is in your blog’s name, i didn’t put you in the fitness category based on your content. the “wellness” aspect makes sense now…thank you! 🙂
miss donna recently posted…personal style | colored skinny jeans
Cool, Thanks Donna!
I know, I know….I could have just let this comment be 🙂
Uh oh, I am already behind the eight ball…I am going to try to do a few of yours and Kim’s blog prompts. But I have some other posts already planned this week so I am behind. I will catch up. I knew why your name was your name! Feeling rather pleased about that!
Michelle recently posted…Ask Away Friday with Brittnei from HomeMaking with Style
Good deal Michelle! I think we know each other very well. We’ve chatted outside our blogs, met in person, we are just cool like that 🙂
Thank you in advance for whatever participation you can muster for my 7 days dear!
It’s always good to re-introduce yourself every now and then. Having read your blog for a while now, most of this isn’t surprising to me, but I LOVE the fact that you strive to do everything as a real Lady. Sometimes that seems so lacking these days. Looking forward to seeing more posts from this challenge!
Leslie recently posted…Our Summer in Pictures
Hey Leslie, Thanks for the feedback. Being a lady/role model is so important to me. I feel that so many young girls loose that sense of acting like a lady if it’s not drilled into them and if they can be inspired just an inkling by being a church friend or what not, I think it’s my responsibility to love on them and show them how a lady carries herself. The best I can anyway 🙂 I have loved connecting with you Leslie! You keep it 100 all the time on your blog and I love that about you!
Hi Joi…I’m Michell, nice to meet you! 🙂 Great re-introduction! I think you summed it up pretty well my friend! Might I add…you’ve stayed true to your blog brand. I just met Kim a few weeks ago…she linked up to the “DYWW” link up. IKR…where have I been to just meet her a few weeks ago, lol! Anywho, she has a lovely blog and I’m looking forward to getting to know her. I’m also looking forward to the challenge(s). I need a good challenge to get me out of the “blogging doldrums”! 😀 Have a good one Joi!
Michell recently posted…Michell’s Weekly Pearl
Thanks Michell! I came across your blog in the VERY early stages of my blogging so I’m pretty sure you are one of the best judges of blog character for PFL 🙂 Thanks for the feedback! DYWW has afforded me a few very cherished blog friends. I love your blog hop boo! I’ll be looking forward to your posts!
Thats a good idea to reintroduce yourself now and then since you get new readers. I know many times readers think my grandchildren are my children, so it’s nice to catch people up.
Tess recently posted…Tuesday Things
Hey Tess! What an awesome misconception to have to deal with! You are quite fabulous lady!
I don’t think I’ve ever done a blog challenge period. YIKES. Anyway I think you covered it. Going to click back to your very first post anyway 😉
Thanks for reading it Kenya! I so hope you will do at least a few of the posts…humorous??? I think I already asked you for the funny one…silly me…who do I think you are, lol!
I love the Jay-Z reference in the beginning of this post! It’s great to meet you again, lol! The new Facebook cover is too cute! BTW, I don’t think I’ve ‘liked’ your FB page yet.*holds head down in shame*…I’m headed over now!
Sherelle recently posted…Peace And Blogging Are One And The Same
Oh dear, yes boo..let’s be FB friends too! We are doing good across other social media though so no love lost there Sherelle!
I know I can count on a handful of my bloggy boos to embrace the ratchetness/hip hop in PFL! HOV Holla 😉
Nice to meet you! Visiting from the September Sapphire challenge. Looking forward to learning more about you!
Amy recently posted…A Re-Introduction? Why Not?
Hey Amy, thank you for connecting!
Joi
I love the reintroduction of yourself AND I feel like you are right in line with what you write about here. 🙂 Always right on target! & such a lady while you do so!
Kimberly Anne {Manifest Yourself} recently posted…Happy Labor Day!
Awesome Kim! Thank you so much for the comment! You said a mouth full! Much appreciated!
Have I ever told you, that I love your blog?? 🙂 I actually even subscribe to get it in my e-mail and I do NOT do that very often!!
Oh and BTW – I am standing up right now……AKA: I am a JIGGA FAN!
GiGi Eats Celebrities recently posted…Kelly Ripa Bubbles Like Carbonated Water
Lol, good deal GiGi, I don’t think I’ve seen you eat him over on your blog!!!
I love yours too. When I first read it, if you remember way back when in Jan, I told you I felt like you were the celebrity!
🙂
GiGi Eats Celebrities recently posted…Kelly Ripa Bubbles Like Carbonated Water
A great “re-introduction”, Joi! I love that you strive to be a role model for young girls, encouraging them (and all of us!) to lead healthy lives. The FB collage is fantastic! I’m going to try to participate in all (or most) of the even days but am already behind. Oh well, I can only get better!
Mo at Mocadeaux recently posted…How It All Started
Hey Mo! Great to meet you in the challenge. My participation will get kinda creative as we go along but I am going to do my best bc I love me some Kim! As if I didn’t make that clear in the post 🙂
always important to get a debrief since you’re always getting new readers! i have your blog challenge bookmarked but don’t think i can cut it since i am going on vacation again. i don’t even have an editorial calendar yet, i blog on a whim. i know, i’m bad!
Too bad Catherine! Maybe next time my friend. I appreciate you being an original friend of mine! My first SITS connect! I hope that you enjoy your upcoming vacation!
I love that you actively want to be a role model for young women. You’re obviously a great one, but I just love that being so is a priority for you!! –Lisa
The Dose of Reality recently posted…Would You Rather: Sit Next To A Gum Snapper Or An Ice Cruncher?
Thanks Lisa! I appreciate that!
Ms. Joi, a pleasure to meet you! LOL! Seems like I’ve known you for a good minute when in fact I’ve only been following you for about six weeks. Glad to get an even better sense of your vision and mission. BTW, do you have a link to the prompt for the Facebook cover collage? I’d love to try something like that, just to switch things up a bit.
Alison recently posted…King
Hey Alison, is that how long it’s been! Can I tell you that I just love when new ppl come along and we connect so fabulously. I swear it feels like some of my new friends I know just as well! I appreciate your friendship and you know I am a sucker for your quirky humor and your way with words/dialect!!!
I made the cover in pic monkey.
Go to create a collage.
Click the layouts icon on the left hand side (second one down).
Choose FB Cover
They have 4 options that come with the free version. The dimensions are already set up for you. If you want to write in addition to the cover photos (similar to what I’ve done with “visit Rx Fitness Lady”, then just add your pictures, save it, then go back into pic monkey and select edit photo. You can add whatever writing from there as usual.
Hope that was clear, if not, HMU!
Can’t wait to see your cover!
Thanks, Joi!
Alison Hector recently posted…Bearing good fruit
Yes ma’am, you hit the target! Keep up the wonderful work my darling first born!
Thank you Mother for all of your continued support!
Im pretty sure I’m calling you the “coolest pharmacist I know”. Your blog is a fav of mine so I don’t type it in much I usually link in by email or go to my favorites!!! However in the beginning it was RX not prescription I guess I’m lazy like that. Anywho this was a great post. I was thinking I needed to do one like this since my page hits are growing. Either way it was so fabulous to meet you AGAIN!!!
Toya recently posted…Wedding… Another list!!!! lol
Awh, Thanks boo! I love you even though I never got my post from you 🙂 Good thing I’m over that now, lol!
I am so glad for you that your blog is growing! I’m sure it will splurge once you are married and can get a bit more time with it. Thanks TOYA!!!
I discovered your blog and starting following this year and I wish i found you earlier. I think your blog is and content is phenomenal. Your posts are always sincere and honest which is much appreciated. I don’t know you personally, but get a sense of who you are with your posts which to me is so key with blogging.. keep up the fab work..
