Well, I got home from work tonight and read all of the comments surrounding the blog about possibly downsizing the ring. I could not find the blog itself, so I thought I would give everyone on here the 10 top reasons why I don't update my blog enough and then you all can decide whether or not I "deserve" to stay on here somewhere. First of all, let me preface this by saying when I joined back in July, I thought this would be a positive way for me to be able to stay in touch with other people's weight loss experience as well as to share mine. Sure, it may take a little longer to get around the ring, but there are still tons of people out there who could benefit from everyone's stories. With that, here are the reasons...
1. I am eblogger illiterate...good at the myspace, bad at the eblogger, every time I try to add a page element, my page gets screwed up, so it may not be flashy, but it is still me.
2. Up until a few weeks ago, I actually received a few motivational comments. I looked forward to these, but haven't received any in a while, I am beginning to wonder if I am still on the ring anyway!
3. I am a private person, hence my myspace being private. I don't think it is necessary to blog all of the drama that is going on with the baby's mama right now, because it has nothing to do with weight loss, I blog here to have a weight loss blog...that's all, nothing else.
4. Because of the above drama, I have been a little preoccupied and have been living in constant fear that she would try and come in on my family and try and steal the baby. It is because of that drama that I have not been able to really focus on weight loss or blogging at this time.
5. I have four kids, two of which are involved in organized sports. I have practice on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, with games all day on Saturday.
6. See above and then remember that I only have a desktop computer.
7. I got to school on Tuesday and Thursday as well, and I made the mistake this semester of scheduling my classes back to back to be home when my children are. No time for blogging!
8. I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7a-7p by the time I get home, I have very little time for this. I barely have time for my family. If by chance, I am on call for the hospital on Saturday, See number 5.
9. I used to blog from work, but this week they came in and removed all of our Internet capabilities so that is no longer a option....DAMN THE MAN!
10. I am also having a yard sale this weekend and I have a LOT of stuff. That is preoccupying any "extra" time that I may have right now.
So there you have it. the top 10 reasons I can not keep up a blog daily. But, I have written 20 since joining at the end of July. Hopefully you sassy ladies can find it in your hearts to keep me on here. On a lighter note, and I am sure a little of it has to do with the stress I have had going on this week, the exercise and the hardly eating at all, but I dropped 7 pounds! I could hardly believe it when I got on the scale and I can't wait to weigh in again next week! Until next time...please keep me as a blogger!

Hey there! I think your blog looks GREAT and I really appreciate that you write with honesty! The ring has grown so big it's hard to read everybody's all the time!!!
Keep up with that exercise, lady, that's gonna be really KEY for you!! It WILL make a difference! I always say, doing something as a habit is more important that WHAT you do so find something you can do all the time and stick with it! Try a few things until you find what works!

Ok this made me laugh out loud, since I am a fellow webring blogger, who didn't get rid of the internet but somehow thought it was a good idea to create a policy which restricts blogging from work. I'm an idiot. I'm also the man ;)
Keep it up - my life is insane too we need each other to survive!!!
Please keep updating when you can! I'm a bandster and I love our sassy group of ladies
I think everyone is busy...I know I am...fortunately for me I have time to blog from work...thank GOD...I love your blog and your honesty. Keep up the great work and exercise!!
