A Plea to Fitness Bloggers

So yes, it had been a year and a half since I posted.  And I assumed that I wasn't the only one that might have taken some time off to recharge his batteries completely abandon everything he had been working for to go crazy, gain weight, and lose fitness.  So, I wasn't surprised when I saw that some of the fitness/weight loss blogs I had been following hadn't been updated for a while.

What was a little discouraging was the number of blogs that had been deleted outright.  Why does it matter?  Because those blogs I was following (and others like them) contained insights that may help others struggling with the same problems, and fighting to achieve similar goals.

It's one thing if the blog is costing you money, but if you are using a free blogging service, why not leave the blog?  Perhaps you have decided that you're done with it forever.  But then again, you might change your mind down the road.  And who knows?  Your words might help motivate someone else.

But that will only happen if you leave your words for others to enjoy.  Even if you are "done" with your fitness blog, please consider leaving it intact.  And if you want to be really nice, some sort of goodbye or status message is helpful, as well.

Thank you for your consideration.
