9 Blogging Milestones I Never Saw Coming

One day, years from now, this will look similar to yesterday's blog photo.

Nine blogging milestones I never saw coming:

  1. The simple act of daily blogging (a goal but perhaps unachievable).
  2. Writing five daily blogs instead of one (like normal people).
  3. Reaching the 100-day challenge goal to write all five daily blogs.
  4. Adding a photo with each post (humans are, after all, very visual).
  5. Adding easy, one-click hyperlinks on every post (to go to next blog).
  6. Shortening each post’s length (as a former boss said, “short & pithy”).
  7. Reaching the 3,000th post (Halloween 2010, scary).
  8. Reaching the 5,000th post (11.11.11).
  9. Writing 90-days ahead (Jan. 2012).

Are We Stuck Because Of Our Organization Skills?

This Atlanta landfill (garbage) mountain started with a single truckload, a long time ago.

This may sound weird, but I’m amazed at how consistently I’ve been able to post five different blogs everyday for 37 consecutive months. A blinding flash of the obvious just happened while finishing that last sentence…

Progress and relative success are very motivating. Duh, right? Can’t guarantee this tomorrow, but maybe I can highlight some progress milestones to help you see this better.

Balance Is My Friend, Even With Restaurant Choices

Balance is my friend with exercise too. Some days you get to, some days you don’t.

Please don’t get me wrong, on this week’s trip to Greensboro, North Carolina, I ate at MacDonald’s three times. Not proud of that, but it happened. Eating healthy as a road warrior is a balancing act of time, energy, price, convenience.

PS. I sincerely hope the common sense insights these small examples reveal aren’t invisible to you. Every single day is a constant struggle for me to make more good choices than not good. You get this, right?

I guarantee you struggle with this too. Or is it, “Denial, party of one, right this way please”. Peace. 🙂

Eating Healthy Meals While Traveling Takes Focus

My Greensboro, North Carolina hotel room is the one with the light on (upper right).
This is where I ate three healthy dinners and one healthy lunch.
This is how close it was.

Focused and disciplined people make common sense look easy. We all know if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Eating healthy while traveling is common sense. But it ain’t easy.

It’s also not impossible. Especially when the service is fast and friendly. Especially when the menu is varied, tasty and reasonably priced, say, like a certain Greensboro, North Carolina Ruby Tuesday.
