Thank you, gentle readers, for sticking with me through the posting marathon that has been October. Thirty-one days, thirty-one blog posts. Most of which actually had a little substance, this past Saturday notwithstanding.
I can’t say it’s been particularly helpful in actually losing weight this month, but I suppose if I hadn’t been checking in with y’all every day I might have strayed even further off the path. Regardless, I’m glad I did it. Here are some things I learned:
– Daily deadlines do not improve my writing.
– Autumn is not the best time for a project like this. I got a lot goin’ on right now, professionally and domestically. Maybe I’ll give it another shot in June.
– There is no shortage of ideas for great blog posts. There is a shortage of free time. Sometimes I just want to sit in the recliner and stare at the TV, not turn the computer on at 10 PM.
– I really like writing this blog, and I like it even more when readership spikes. And readership spikes when I write really good content and promote that content. With that in mind, I’m focusing on three posts a week – four if I’m feeling froggy. Mondays will be your weekly reading assignment, Wednesdays are Five Things Wednesday (because people like lists) and Fridays will be weigh-in. And I might actually pay attention to letting more people know about the blog. People who don’t necessarily read the Facebook. Actually, I could use your help in that. If you’re reading and enjoying, tell a friend!
So. Enough whining. Wednesday back to healthy livin’ talk!
Thanks for reading.

I swung by to see if you’re making changes to a Thanksgiving menu at all. Or maybe just to give you your next blog idea?
