Summer Without Internet: Part 2

The other day I mentioned some of the things I have been doing to occupy myself this summer without internet, today I want to think about what I miss.

I miss reading other blogs.  I always learn something and sometimes they give me ideas for content on my blog.  For example, I wrote why I exercise because one of the  bloggers did a poll asking that question.  I don’t know why, but for some reason the answers  they give you to choose from don’t apply to me.  So a post with my reasons for exercising makes sense to me.

I find I like concise blogs that give me food for thought.  Sarah Jio is one of my favorites,  she writes a lot for Glamour magazine.  I read a lot of blogs on “Shine” too.  I enjoys Jen Emmert at www.priorfatgirl.com, although her posts are pretty long.   I actually quit reading a few because they were just too long, too much.  Although I do find that I miss the bloggers themselves and do check in on them, just not as often.

I also feel that I have let myself down with this blog.  I could use livewriter as I am today to write one, but I have not been updating my blog as often as I would like to.  Just seems more difficult to me withort that instant gratification of having it published.  I need to work on that.

I miss the news or I should say the news that interests me.  I am pretty selective about what I want information on.

Otherwise, I am sort of glad I have time to do other things and enjoy the physical space I have available to explore this summer.  I am so lucky!!

Another Weeks Wrap-up 3-14-10

This week was sort of lean as far as what caught my eye but here goes.

Resveratrol is an important nutrient that comes from red grape skins.  It is found to have the following health benefits:  Improves heart health, reduces risk of cancer and other diseases. It also slows aging and some diseases associated with aging.  WOW--how can we ignore this wonderful stuff??  I decided to get mine via a glass of red wine daily.  I take way too many pills already. (none prescription, all supplements).

I found feedjit.com to add a widget to my blog that tells me where my readers are coming from.  So far it's just me and strength faith hope at http://www.roadto50andhealth.blogger.com/.  She just started a blog to chronicle her weight loss journey and has been kind enough to become a follower. THANK YOU!  I found a reference to her on http://www.fab50.blogspot.com/. 

The community of women out there all working on this goal is amazing.  Most are articulate and  creative.  Really cool!! I realized, I need to find blogs that are interesting to me, from a variety of age groups.  I find it interesting to hear different points of view.

Another week has flown by, where does all of this time go?? 

I can, I will!!
