My blog hits the big time!

I’ve noticed over the past few days that I’ve had several comments and emails from new readers of my blog. In fact, I’ve gotten some really nice emails from folks complimenting me both on my blog in general, and on my weight loss success as well. I was a bit surprised by the sudden surge of new folks, but thankful to have them. I just kind of chalked it up that since it’s the holiday season, perhaps people had more time for blog surfing and were checking weight loss/fitness blogs looking for some motivation for all of those New Year resolutions. ;) As it turns outs, I was wrong and today I found out why!

My blog made the “Blog Chatter” section of the January issue of Women’s Running magazine (formerly Her Sports & Fitness). I left a comment on their blog a few weeks ago when they announced the new Rock n’ Rock Seattle marathon/half marathon on their site. I had just registered for the half marathon, so I left a comment about how much I was looking forward to the race. So, you can find my little comment in the January issue at the bottom of page 12 (see “A New Grunge Run” in the Blog Chatter section).

So, if you are reading this entry and found your way here via Women’s Running, welcome to my blog! Please leave a comment and let me know you stopped by for a visit. Of course, the down side to this is that I now feel compelled to write more meaningful posts and not spend as much time on things like Bad Scale. I’m sure I’ll find a happy middle of the road though. ;)

If I don’t get around to posting again before Christmas, I hope everyone has a very safe and happy holiday. I’ll be thinking of you from out here in Fa La La La Land. Merry Christmas!!
