Welcome one, welcome ALL!
Eat4Today is almost 2-1/2 years old, growing out of my commitment to getting a grip on my weight as a way to get a grip on my blood sugar levels. And my inability to refrain from babbling about the process on other people’s blogs. (HEY! katiebird, get a blog of your own!) So I got a blog of my own.
As our tagline states, this is “a place to discuss food and eating and the state of the world.” And a careful parsing will reveal that virtually nothing is off topic here. Still, most conversations revolve around health issues. You might want to avoid the place on Oscar night though…..
Each day around here begins with my goals for the day. And everyone is encouraged to post their goals in the comments. When things get going (and summer is the slow season, so don’t be surprised if they <em>don’t</em> get going for a while) there’s some good supportive conversation about HOW to stick to the goals. And it can be a bit of an open thread.
We also like to talk about the process of making/keeping/reaching goals. Some of the steps involved are A Vision, a Plan, a Commitment, an Affirmation and Action. Oh, and whining. Every successful strategy to get a grip on health involves these concepts. I think.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back in business. These last few weeks (months) have been a miserable struggle. But this nice shiny room has perked me right up! (Maybe I will actually TAKE that walk today….)
Hey hey!
Welcome back to the blogosphere… it sure is good to see you pop into the comments on TFM again.
Focus. So easy to lose. So many barking distractions. Something to think about on a walk, huh?
(nodding) Hey, that’s an idea: a walk! (I just added recent comments to the top….)
Katiebird! I love, love, love the new look around here. I need to get back on track and know that this will be a great place to stay motivated. Hope you and Mister are not getting hit too hard by the weather. Best wishes to you!
{{Manny}} Thank you! I’m so glad you’re here. I think this new home will be fun. Do you want to contribute now and then? It doesn’t have to be a report on progress or anything that specific. I’ll send you an “invitation” if you’re interested…
of course! i’d be honored to share every once in a while on my journey to a more healthy life.
Hey KB, I hadn’t realized you relaunched till you reminded me … sorry about that. I had been by several times in the last few months and saw there was nothing new, but my place goes through its dry spells too! So a big Welcome Back!
(shhhh) No Way — It just likes seeing that you and that cute cow!
I was just coming back to say that Manny is one of my favorite friends too — although I have to say we’ve got some wonderful bloggy friends — AND he’s very likely to show up now and then as an author here.
KB, just delete that double post if you can. WordPress often eats my comments at The Carpetbagger Report, so I’m used to it, and just copy my text before I hit submit.
We do have a nice bloggerhood, and I’m hoping we can keep it going!
