Late in a week during which this post was linked to from both DietGirl and Elastic Waist – heady company, indeed – I find myself with very little time to write anything for newcomers to read.
Mr. Shrinking Knitter and I spent much of the past couple of weeks with his mother [who was finally released from the hospital yesterday], and I will be taking yet another blog break beginning Sunday, one I'm very much looking forward to, as it will mean spending time with my younger and newest granddaughter.
How do you bloggers with jobs, families, workout routines and other interests manage to keep up the blogging pace? I'm fortunate to not work outside my home, my children are grown, I have two easy-to-manage dogs and a husband who knows how to [mostly] take care of himself. Oh, and I like to knit. When I have time.
Knitting was, at one time, an all-consuming passion. I'm sure my children were, at times, thisclose to committing me. My interest in fiber arts has slowed down considerably; three or four [or more!] hours of knitting daily has shrunk to maybe an hour in the evening, while watching the news and Jeopardy. [Oh, my, don't I sound old?]
And workouts? You haven't read much about running or weight-training or rowing lately, have you? I ordered and received the new cable for the rowing machine more than a month ago, but have I installed it yet? Nope. If I had the camera handy, I'd post a photo of the envelope containing the cable, still sitting on the rowing machine waiting for repair.
The dumbbells made it all the way to Florida and back, on the floor of the back seat of my car, where they still are. Actually they're probably under the seat by now. Have I looked for them? What do you think?
The Garmin – a much-coveted running tool and one I'm thrilled to finally own – has accompanied me on exactly one run since its delivery. ONE! Granted the weather has been pretty sucky, but still. There've been at least a couple of nice, run-outside-worthy days in the past month here in the Middle of Nowhere, but I've been otherwise occupied.
I'm looking forward, someday, to life settling down again. In the meantime, I think I may need to take a time management course.
When I can find the time.

I know how busy life can be and have found previous exercise routines derailed by work schedules, etc. The only thing is that putting off exercise can mean that one wakes up three months--or a year later--with extra pounds, less fitness, etc., which can make getting back on board that much harder. I love your site and your commitment--don't let it go. You have so much going on in your life--30 minutes of exercise will be a treat and will help you cope and keep your running and weight-loss goals on track.
It can be hard to fit in blogging. I love it though because i identify well with others who are trying to lose weight. I also love reading the posts on the blogs i go to. It is great to follow the journey of others.
I am so excited I can contribute good news and say something positive. You have to check out: www.houstonhcgmedical.com
After the last 3 months or so, I feel as if I understand why I struggled with weight my entire life. We are all different and our bodies, family history and other factors play a huge role in how and where our bodies store fat.
I started a program in September, with Doctor oversight, that really worked. I have lost over 60 pounds of fat without harming my healthy tissue (muscle) since starting. I feel as if I discovered a secret cure to weight gain.
It may help you, too. You can learn more, and even see testimonials from others this has worked for, www.houstonhcgmedical.com. I wish you the best of luck.
