100,000

On December 26. 2014 I began blogging. I weighed 309 lbs on that day. Today's post is more about the blog than my weight. As I started to blog, it did appear that I was hitting a chord with some people. In fact, there were some people all over the world who were clicking on my blog. Whether it was purposeful or by accident, I do not know. What I do know is that this weekend, my aggregate clicks on this blog surpassed 100,000! For a dopey blog about a guy who has posted his daily menu, daily exercise and political rantings (and ravings) 100,000 clicks may seem like a lot. It is not. I have been blogging for a bit more than 31 months.

I personally visit 'DRUDGEREPORT' each day. This website posts its daily clicks. In the past 24 hours, the drudge report had 30,427,298 visits. This works out to 1,267,804 per hour, and 21,130 per minute. The drudge report in FIVE MINUTES gets more clicks than my blog has accumulated in nearly 3 years. Within the past year, the drudge report has accumulated 11,038,196,480 clicks. If current trends continue it would take my blog about 3.5 million years to reach this number. You know what, the blog has one very important reader. That is me. I personally need this blog to keep me on course. Since I have rededicated myself after a period of slothfulness, I have lost 13 pounds. Of course, I am responsible for my success, but without the blog, I wouldn't have a chance. Go figure.

I took a fairly leisurely stroll with my daughter in the morning. We walked 7 miles. My MapMyWalk app reported a calorie burn of 1045. I know that this number is inflated, but a person had to burn a few calories walking seven miles, yes?

In the evening, I set out by myself and walked an additional 10 miles.

I did not enjoy the way I looked one month ago when I was 263  lbs.  I am only down 13 pounds from that disaster, but I feel so much better.
