This has been on my mind for awhile...I think it is time I write a blog about it.
This blog is my journey for a healthier me...it is also the place where I vent...and say what's on my mind. This is the ONLY place that I discuss my weight loss and all of my other issues associated with my lap band. I do not discuss my journey on FB. I do post when I'm working out...but that is just so that I stay accountable to my cousins. Besides the people who live in my house only 2 of my family members know about my surgery. Only 3 of my 4 closest friends know about my surgery. I don't share this with everyone. I'm not ashamed...but it just ain't their business.
With that being said...after BooBS last year I become FB friends with many of those who attended. In doing so I also become FB friends with many other bloggers. That is about to change!!
I will be making some adjustments to my FB friends list. This is not to say that I do not love each of you. However, this is something I need to do to keep balance in my life. This blog is my safe place. It is the place I can go and say any and everything. I don't want to worry about someone bringing that into my world of social media. I hope that you are not offended by this...but it is what it is.
Other stuff...working out is getting fun again. Who the heck knew that could happen? Monday night I attended a Zumba class (the first in ages) with my Sisters Tri-ing group. It was a blast. The instructor didn't really excite me but it was nice to get it in with the ladies. I refer to them as my "real" athletic friends...because I am not. These women are competing in triathlons and duathlons, marathons and iron woman races. I love these chicks. They inspire me to be better. This Saturday I will work our FUNraiser. I would actually run, but I'm only staying for a bit, because I'm taking my first Bikram (hot) Yoga class later in the morning. I'm looking forward to the yoga. I actually purchased a groupon for 10 classes. The class on Saturday I'm taking with my running group Black Girls Run. Look at me being social. LOL
Well that is all for now.

I am the same way...I have been cleaning house on my FB account, too. It's not that I am on the DL about my band, but rather I don't need pictures of every outfit, every awesome meal or picture of your pet that you take on your iphone. Oh and you you play Farmville or some other game and keep inviting me (or poking me!) you will be purged.
Well, you know I'm not going to cut you!
Look at you getting your exercise on! Good for you.
I'll still be reading you here even if I don't see you on FB anymore. I totally understand wanting your blog to stay private. I accidentally outed myself by posting a link on what was supposed to be a closed group but wasn't at that moment. My uncle saw it before I realized what had happened and took it down. Now at least he and my parents know so I feel like I have to sensor myself a little.
Doing a little housecleaning my own self. Love you!
Totally get it! There are a lot of people who don't know about my surgery, and I most definitely do not talk about it on FB. I've been happy that none of the boobs have ever outed me on there!
I totally get the fact you want to keep both worlds seperate.
I hear ya, I did the same thing about a few months ago. Not anything against anyone, but anyone I added that I don't really know it was so I could see all the pics from the trip. *shrug*
Also, do you HAVE to be black to join Black Girls Run or can I join when I come visit? ;)
Gurl, you do what you need to! I sometimes kinda wish there were people I hadn't told about my blog, just because it does censor me a wee bit, but at the same time, I'm not out on FB at all, because as you said, it just ain't their business. And YAY for yoga!! I bet you will LOVE it...let me know how it goes!!
girl, for the SAME exact reasons is why I make my own WLS fb awhile back. I am a very private person, not because of shame but bc it straight up isn't anyone's damn biz!! SO I feel ya. DO what ya gotta do. Make sure and add my WLS fb page though... LOL
No explanations needed my dear. I am so thrilled about your running, I cannot tell ya! You are truly my inspiration on running.
Love you!
That is why I've never friended any BOOBS on facebook. I think it would help me bond with everyone better but so few people in "real life" know about my band that I just don't want my business out there. Totally understandable.
You ARE a real athlete...becoming more athletic every day.
Good for you with the exercise!
I haven't told but a few people about my LB....sorry but I prefer it that way.
I'm also not on FB or anything but this.... which might be why I feel a LITTLE isolated sometimes when it comes to social media.
No problem with any of this though....I'm all there when it comes to face to face!
XO
