Today is the last day of week #8, Day 54 of the Journey
The Benefits of Blogging: If I had to pick just one word to describe this journey it
would be ‘evolution’. The word perfectly illustrates the type of weight
loss program this has been. It describes the progression of the daily tracker
and the blog itself which has undergone several iterations since day one. The
aesthetic appearance has changed several times but so has the content. It has
slowly evolved into serious, focused postings with emphasis on good health and daily
calorie tracking. With new set goals, the addition of exercise
tracking and the *IF, as well as an expansion of the blog to include an on-line
weight loss community which has resulted in a growing audience – now at 70 hits
daily - I’m very excited about that. What’s really interesting is the audience
geography. While most of the hits come from right here in the U.S.A., I’m also
getting hits from places like India, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland and Egypt!
My friend Diane asks ‘how do they know about this in other countries’? I
have to credit the internet with that – there are people from other countries
in the weight loss community, plus postings can easily be shared and I’m also
part of a Google blog directory, so they can find it there as well. I think
it’s so cool. But no matter where the hits are coming from, I’m just so happy
for the continued support. It inspires me and helps keep me on track and
for that I’m very grateful.
Note: On March 13th I’ll
be posting my weigh-in results. I’ll also post my first incremental weight loss
goal as well as ‘before’ pictures.
