Do You Blog?

Sadly having kidney stones has given me a lot to write about. Eventually I’ll explain how it’s forcing me to change my diet (again) and make some other changes. But for today? I’m going to try and forget about all of it.

Today I’m going to wander the blogosphere aimlessly.  So far I’ve already found some awesome things today like MizFit’s Muscles in Minutes video and Fat Free Vegan Kitchen recipes to try.

I’m a blog reader. I don’t comment much these days because after replying to all my comments I’m usually commented out, but I read. I read weight loss blogs and fitness blogs and healthy food blogs and more.  I read sooo many blogs every day because I find your lives interesting and inspiring and helpful in making my own life healthier. You all are my role models. So I surf the web and read your blogs and learn and try to implement things in my own life.

And now I’m going to update my blogroll.  I took my blogroll page down a while ago because I realized I hadn’t really edited it in a while and a lot of links were old and broken. I knew it needed to be updated or deleted, so I took it down until I had time to do so. I suppose now is that time.

I’m working on my blogroll, but really I don’t want to do it. So how about this…. if you have an awesome blog about food, health, weight loss, fitness, or any related topic – leave me your link in the comments.  Make my blogroll for me.  Give me new things to read. Make it the best blogroll ever.

There may or may not be a real post later today. There will definitely be a food post, since I need to start keeping track of my eats again. It’s been out of control the last few days.

And now… leave me a comment.  Get on my new blogroll. Gracias!

  14. I have a blog as well. Would love to have you as a reader. :-) It’s a weight loss blog, so it should hit home. http://sureshotevolver.blogspot.com/

    I’m also a bit of a runner, though I hesitate to say I’m a full-fledged runner. I have run a half marathon (Oct 2009) but quit running for a bit, so I’m working my way back up. The blog is covering that, plus my weight loss journey. :-) Love your blog by the way.

    • I will add your site for sure! I might add it to the health and weight loss sites section though. You know. Toss you some visitors so you can make bank helping them. ;)

  26. I don’t know if I qualify as awesome or not (you can let me know?) but I do have a blog you can check out. I’d love if it you gave it a read. Hope the stones aren’t keeping you in too much agony and you’re back to yourself in no time!

    • You definitely qualify as awesome. I’ve actually been reading you since you told me you started. But like I said.. I’m a bad commenter lately.

    • I do not understand your blog comments at all. Maybe it’s something to do with the numbers? Or my name I use? I don’t know. I just know it hates me.

  28. Can you put all my blogs on your blogroll? Thanks!

  29. Hi, new follower here. Need to tell you first my husband has reacuring Kidney stones and they stink, so sorry to hear about that for you.

    I blog about fitness (I’m an Internet fitness coach at http://www.beachbodycoach.com/beachbummom) on my blog http://www.justanallamericangirl.com along with other items.

    Just an FYI? Have you thought about making money while you do this? Hope that wasn’t too pushy.

    Anyway, good luck on your journey and can’t wait to follow along.

    • Pushy? No, haha. I do make money blogging. :) Once I get past the sickness/kidney stones stuff I’ll be focusing more on that.

      Kidney stones do stink!

    • That’s what I’m wondering after all these comments. Why is everyone putting down their blogs? I think they all rock.

  36. Dear Mary, can you follow me even if I don’t write about weight loss? Because you might be my only friend who reads blogs as religiously as I do… so without you my blog may or may not become reader-less. :)

    Love,
    MB

    • You are one of my favorites! I’m in awe of how much you run now considering how much you ran when I first started reading you. Such a badass.

  47. My blog is really new and not many people read it yet. I’m not sure how interesting it is to others, but the only way to find out is if people look at it and let me know!

    It’s about health, fitness, weight loss, my battle with depression/eating disorders…

    Reading plenty of health and fitness blogs inspired me to write my own, so I hope people like it. Check it out: http://laurenrecovers.blogspot.com

  49. I have a blog and I blog like crazy. CRAZY! I didn’t get to meet you in person, although Roni had asked me to take you to the ER. I had taken the metro to fitbloggin’ and couldn’t help.

    You don’t have to add me, though, as I blog about art and blogging itself, rather than fitness stuff. Hope all is well.

    • Oh my gosh, I might. I’m thinking I might have to do a sidebar randomly rotating one, just so everyone gets a fair share of attention and people don’t get overwhelmed by one long list. With super long blogrolls it’s hard to know where to start.

  56. Well, you already know I have a blog because ive visited it before. Youre on my blog roll! :) Mine is not a weight loss or fitness blog, so its ok if you don’t put it on your blog roll but if anyone wants to read my blog, feel free. http://www.tantalizingtidbits.com its just like it says, a bunch of tidbits of random things that I do/think about/go to/etc., including photos, recipes, restaurants, music, random thoughts, trips, etc. (me = 31 year old single weirdo living in san francisco lol)

  58. Ack! I’ve been reading all these comments and thinking ‘oh, that looks like a fun blog… so does that one… and that one…’ Yikes! I’m going to be spending a lot of time reading blogs.
    And drat it, now I’m going to feel guilty about how long it’s been since I updated my blogroll. It’s been a looooooooooong time :(
    .-= The Merry´s last blog ..I’ve decided that this is All Your Fault =-.

  67. Do you already have a blogroll? I looked and couldn’t find it–but I’ve been a space cadet these days, so I may just be having a “D’oh!” moment.

    I would be honored if ya stuck me on your kidney stone expelling, weight losing, healthy eating blog roll. :)
    .-= Tina´s last blog ..All Apologies =-.

    • I did have a blogroll, and it was up for a while but I took it down about two weeks ago when I looked at it and realized some blogs were no longer in existance and some had moved and some I just didn’t read. So I figured I should update it and took it down until I figured out what to do. :)

  72. Hope you’re feeling better! I love your blog. It would be so cool if you added mine to yours but I’m kinda new here and my words don’t even come close to flowing like yours and so many others.
    .-= Anna´s last blog ..This is so good =-.

  73. I have a blog (it’s my link), but I don’t know if I’d consider it awesome just yet. It’s a work in progress.

    I tend to be a reader, too. I usually only comment if I think I have something unique to say, because who needs an 800th comment saying “That looks yummy!” or whatever.
    .-= Misty´s last blog ..New loves, and PLEASE help my elem. school =-.

  84. I’ve been a lurker on your blog for a while but figured I should comment on this one. Can’t wait to read some of the blogs you collect!

    My blog is lizrunsdc.wordpress.com

    • LOL. Rachel that made me laugh. Life is merry, but no need for a tattoo. ;P

      You are definitely on the blogroll! And of course I know you! I read your blog too… I think we just don’t comment. ;)

  91. Daaaang girl, what a list you have going here!! Thanks for the reminder.. I totally need to update mine too. Love the “commented out” bit… I know the feeling… I don’t comment nearly as much as I used to, but still read quite a lot. :)
    .-= Karen´s last blog ..Letting Go =-.

  93. Hope you’re feeling better!
    I’m definitely not the most active or interesting blogger, but who knows?

  100. Hi Miss Mary,
    While I’ve been blogging for years @ hellohappypitbulls.com, I decided last week that I needed to start a blog to help me focus on the maintenance phase following a 70+ pound weight loss. I’m at motivatingthemaven.com.

    I’ve been seeking inspirational blogs to keep me motivated through the chocolate cravings caused by evil chocolate bunnies that seem to follow me everywhere.

    Glad to find your blog!

  101. Google Reader thought you and I made a perfect fit, and so it suggested your blog to me. LOVE IT so far! I am catching up, but wanted to comment that I blog about… everything.

    I have a Category called New Life Friday where I put all of my Diet and fitness and ‘new me’ kinds of talk. I find myself without a ton of motivation, but I have a severe need to get off my duff and get moving. Thanks for your inspiration! Glad I found you!
