Getting Fit Takes Sacrifice And Dedication

Getting fit and losing weight takes time – and time is a luxury I have little of, so I’m forced to make the best use of what I have. To that end I’ve made a decision to step away from blogging.

Until a couple of days ago I had no such plans, but then something was said that made me re-evaluate my position.

Over the last few weeks I’ve come to realise that the important things in my life aren’t going to get the attention they deserve when a vast chunk of my day is spent blogging.

In the last three weeks I’ve made some excellent progress with my fitness and that’s largely due to the fact I’ve spent time exercising at the expense of reading and writing blog posts.

There are other issues involved in my decision and I’d encourage you to pop over to Teach My Children Well if you want to know what they are.

I’m getting fit and I’m getting lean. As of this morning I weigh 193.5lbs, which is half a pound down on Wednesday. I feel I can go the whole way now and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

I’ve enjoyed your support and I’ve enjoyed cheering you on as well. There’s no doubt that sharing my thoughts with you here and reading your responses has helped me to make progress, but whilst I’ve discovered that I can find the time to get fit, I’ve also realised that I can’t find the time to write about it as well, I hope you understand.

My biggest regret is that I’ve messed Tara and Dave about with my decision to step away. They now have to decide whether to continue with BlogToFit. I know they’re considering they’re own position and I also know they’ll post something next week when they’ve made their decision.

Please feel free to share your thoughts below but please understand there might be a delay in my response.

I won’t be dropping off the face of the earth, but I will be restricting my online presence for the next two months.

Thank you all for your support

AND…. Tara whose Sticky Fingers on the keyboard have kept me entertained and to Dave the Blogger Dad whose cartooning genius in the BTF header made me look better than I do – my special thanks to you both for being the most excellent colleagues and friends.

I wish you all well in your weight loss and fitness goals.

Dave
