Blogfat?

That's right. You heard me. I said blogfat.

The other day my buddy (and BlogHer '06 roommate) Devra sent me this link the other day. Pamela Slim (which I believe is her married name and not a pseudonym) has a blog she calls Escape From Cubicle Nation. The post that Devra sent was called The mind/body connection and it's relation to blogfat, in it she writes:

Andy Wibbels wrote a very funny post about "bookfat .. the pounds gained by first-time authors during the year that they write, revise and publish their book.

I am thinking we have a new phenomenon called blogfat ... which is really an aversion to doing anything physical that takes us away from crafting a new post."

She goes on to challenge us all to virtually support each other back into shape because:

...I know that when I do exercise, my mind clears, ideas emerge, and my intuition feels much more "tuned up," since it usually speaks through the physical, not intellectual realm.

I can completely see where she is coming from. In fact, even writing this post I was eating leftovers while standing and typing. I wasn't even paying attention and I finished off what could have easily been two lunches worth of food.

During the busy holiday season how do you find the time to exercize between work, kids, holiday parties and blogging?

Oh that is very very true. I find myself eating with one hand and typing with the other constantly. Bad habit I must break.

Just getting into the exercise habit

I am just getting (back) into the exercise habit. Each morning I rise, check my emails and favorite blogs, BlogHer and a few sites; all done in about an hour. I feed the dogs and myself, jump into the car wearing the tshirt and sweats that I slept in, and head to the gym. The important part of this plan? I would have frettered away the next hour or so anyway.

One to one-and-a-half hours later, I am exercised, showered and ready to face the world. Which ofcourse means I come home, grab the laptop and hang out.

And just imagine ...

... cooking and writing a food blog. Suddenly food is central to EVERYTHING you're loving!

Does that mean that I'm the only one who has the lap top permanently open next to the oven?

blogfat

I'm an avid excerciser, but I always start my day with breakfast in front of the computer! It's sop bad I don't even taste what I am eating!

Since my last pregnancy was

Since my last pregnancy was 9 years ago, I can no longer blame my fat on my last child. At least now I have a new name for the extra pounds that I'm carrying around: Blogfat.
It's kind of catchy.
