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!!

A Great Read

I think I have mentioned before that Jen at http://www.priorfatgirl.com/ is one of my favorite bloggers.  And if I didn't think this before, I sure would after reading her blogs from 4-12-10 to 4-16-10.  The blog on 4-16 is particularly inspiring.  What she writes makes perfect sense and needs to be said and emphasized over and over.

We have control.

Over what we eat.

Over how we move, how much we move,  and when we move.

Over our attitude.

Over our willingness to do whatever it takes.

Anyway I am very inspired and will reread her post of 4-16 everyday for a while.

I can, I will!!

Overload

My God there is a lot of information out there!  I am trying to find a new way in 2010.  That isn't exactly accurate, I have read all of my life and have always been interested in self improvement.  I've wanted to improve myself and am reading a lot of material on a variety of  topics.  Mostly, the overall theme is health, fitness, positive mental attitude.  All geared toward improving myself and my life.  BUT, there is just way too much. 

I can only absorb and act on so much.  I have to sift through a lot of information and decide what makes sense for me and my lifestyle.  I do have to say I am making overall progress which is my aim. 

I can, I will!!
