We started this blog in August of 2012. It has been a real roller coaster ride ever since the beginning. I can’t remember the last time we went over a month without publishing an article. Sometimes, we don’t find the time to create our own work, but we maintain a steady stream of posts through partners and guests. That wasn’t the case this past month, but we’re glad to be back. Where did we go?
Nowhere, of course. Well, I took a trip back home, but it was a quick one. Fit took a trip to Mexico for work, but that was pretty quick as well. We got hit by the strongest part of a near category three hurricane, which took down our power/electricity for 4-5 days and internet for well over a week. That definitely didn’t help with the blog, or anything else. Throw some significant personal issues, semi-regular coronavirus happenings, and an unprecedented presidential election into the mix, and we understand where time went.
(This is our fridge/freezer NOW. It was packed before, but after throwing it all away, we’re rebuilding it. We hate wasting food!)
Fortunately, we’ve taken good care of ourselves, all things considered. Even though we haven’t been very active on the blog or social media, we’re excited to jump back into it this holiday season. As hurricane season (hopefully) dies down, and 2020 nears the end, we know that it is important to stay focused and be ready for anything. Don’t wait until 2021 to start good habits. Develop them now and set yourself up for success. Make the best out of your situation and don’t give up!
One of the hardest pills to swallow from that month was having to throw out over $500 in groceries. So sad. So very sad, but also fortunate to not have a tree through our house like our neighbors. Here are some fun stats about the blog that we can only see on our end. Despite not publishing anything all month, or driving any traffic through social media, we still had some readers check us out. We’re nearing 1.2 million lifetime readers! Now is a great time for guest articles, hint, hint.
Stay hungry and fit!
Yay! Welcome back! Sorry about the groceries… 🙁
Thanks, it could have been a lot worse and I think we’ll manage our fridge better from now on!
