Just 4 Today, I will weigh myself (done — and I’m doing good!), walk 3 miles, drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk 12 oz) and take my fiber supplement twice (I’ve taken it once)
I’ve been thinking about the value of Eat4Today. With visitors and comments drifting away, that maybe I should shut it down and go back to just keeping my private journal. I’m still inclined to keep it going because I think there’s a little more to it than just that.
But maybe there’s not.

Have been a bit pre-occupied with work and falling a bit sick (sore throat and cough), but I never miss a read on Eat4Today, so don’t even consider closing this place!
It’s a great resource from what I’ve seen, and can only get better
Oh, TechZ — Thank you so much for this comment. I think I’m tired from all the infrastructure things that I’ve been working on. And I feel like I’ve been letting people down by not posting as many of the deeper sorts of things.
I’ve still got some infrastructure issues pending (which must mean that I’m not really thinking about shutting down…) And I’ll get back on track soon.
Really, thank you. I feel much better.
Keep blogging katirbird. Your blog offers great value. We all go through blogger “slumps.” It’s part of the cycle. Also, traffic is not an all encompassing measure of how much your blog is helping others. The quality in the numbers is something to remember.
I realize that as bloggers we can’t help but focus on traffic, but I am learning, personally, that when I get too focused obsessing on my traffic than I start to lose focus on what I love doing which therefore affects my writing. Focus on why you love blogging here, and how you are helping others in their weight loss and health journey, and the content/comments/traffic will follow.
The slump is also an opportunity for you to get creative. Sometimes a slow down means you need to start mixing it up a bit, or try new things. The holidays are quickly arriving, so this is one time of year people want to know how to stay healthy and get back into their skinny holiday jeans
Oh, Stephanie — thank you so much for your encouraging words. A slump sure sounds like what I’m in. I love your idea of using this time to mix things up and be more creative. I’ve had a couple of ideas lurking at the back of my mind — maybe this is the time to pull them out of the shadows….
