I have been very slack once again and I tend to over think things with many things in my life, so I apollogize.
I have a friend who writes a blog http://myfoodnfitnessdiaries.com/and she was struggling with the name of it awhile back and kept renaming it, which made me start thinking about my Blog title. I have a hard time spelling Metamorphosis, it is not a word one uses very often. I thought I would try and come up with something new and wrote a bunch down to ponder for awhile. I was running them by a couple of my peeps and some gave me new ideas, but the suggestions strayed from the point and why I am writing it. When I looked up the meanings again, I decided with a boost from my daughter Daffney that it is named perfect for what I am doing, so it remains as is!
I have also struggled with what to write as I don't want things to be repetitive from past blog posts. My friend listed above with the blog asked me why I don't write more and I explained that I feel like I have expressed most of these emotions in my blogs before and did not want to repeat. She suggested I not worry about it and just share what my day was like facing different struggles and sucesses. Like I said I have a tendancy to over think things and realized I can make changes as I go, after all I am in a metamorphosis so I will be writing more even if it hits on something I have expressed before.
I was told by a couple people that sometimes my blog is too long and when they open it to read they sometimes do not have time to read it, so I am trying to shorten them. I have felt that way about a few I like to follow and I think I will get back to it when I have time to read it, sometimes I do and other times I forget. So I will try and make them shorter. (Not all ,because I do like to ramble sometimes.)
On a note about my health, I feel my clothes getting bigger on me! Some blouses I can actually button in the front and not leave open with a layered shirt. My shorts and pants I can pull down without unzipping or unbuttoning them. I hope no one tries to yank them now, that would be a total embarrasement! I will try and get some help to do some measurements to compare and post that soon. I need new clothes badly, but have such a long ways to go, so my question is at what point do you get new clothes when you know you have so much more weight to lose? I do not have money to spend every few months, so any suggestions? My next blog will be more about my health and less about my blog...LOL
I was just noticing your measurements on the side... Look at how far you've come in a year!! Wow, awesome job, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest advice I've received from other successful bloggers is to just write what YOU would want to read, and to write because you enjoy it...not necessarily just for other people.
Thanks Ashley, great advice, plus this was for me to see my journey so I can see what I have done. I seem to go in spurts and this helps me to see and read what I changed or how I felt when I was on track. I in turn also hopes it helps and inspires others trying to make healthy changes. It is hard!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Lisa!
