Just today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll weigh myself & use the tools and guidance from The Hacker’s Diet to help me reach (and keep) my goal.

This week has brought a lot of new friends as I’ve followed links from Liz’s SOB lists and Darren’s Speed links and followed the trails onto eMom’s BlogJolt and other side trips (I even stopped in at my favorite cafe for the first time in ages). I’ve gotten pretty lazy this summer and haven’t done a lot of commenting anywhere but here. I think the heat sapped my ability to comment-chat and I started worrying that I’d run out of words — use them all up — leaving me with nothing to say here.

But the fresh breeze that blew into town midweek gave me energy for more than walking and it’s wonderful the places I discovered. There’s a world of people thinking about ways to make life a little better. People eager to share what they’ve learned about ‘their niche’ whatever that might be. And their generous philosophy and genuine kindness actually made me weepy at times.

A blog doesn’t really stand alone — why else would they come with blogrolls built right in? I’ve done tours of the diet blogs in the past. But, in the future I’ll be participating in more of the (newly discovered by me) blog-community activities like BlogTipping.

Who knows what I’ll discover next week? Have you got any links to get me started?
