Blogs Worth a Click: Catch Up Addition

The orginial idea behind Blogs Worth a Click was to later recap blogs suggested by the commentors who are usually bloggers themselves. I was thinking at least monthly. Thinking and doing are two different actions.

There are so many interesting blogs and few ways for others to discover them. This would be perfect for a Mr Linky type plugin but my current blog platform doesn't offer any thing like that. Sad but true. It doesn't even offer something like Comment Luv. Very sad.

 Diet and Exercise Addition

 Gina suggested 101Cookbooks as worth a click.

Speaking Hope Addition

Ton suggested Modus Vivendi

Odd But Interesting Addition

SheSue Expirence suggested Unusual Hotels of the World which includes a ice hotel. How cool is that!

So in theory this is what I am planning to do. If you are a commentor with your own blog and you suggest a different blog you enjoy on the given topic, when I do the monthly recap, link love all around. Manually because of my blog platform. (I do believe this irks me more than I realized!)

Anyone blogging on the perfect platform?

Blogs Worth A Click: Speaking Hope Addition

There are writers who can speak hope into hopeless situations. My friend Gail has a blog titled Life After Death.

She has had an emotionally crushing 6 months. She has lost her grandbabies and her husband this summer. About 10 days ago her step son unexpectedly passed away in his sleep. Most people would be curled into a emotional fetal position by now.

Not Gail. She started a blog and writes words of hope. I wish she had written a book, I could suggest curling up with it. We can't yet curl up with our computers yet so bring a box of tissues.

There are writers who can pull back the curtain from despair and revel Hope and Hope does not disappoint.

If you would like to mention a blog or a book that speaks words of hope to hurting people, please feel free to leave a comment.

Blogs Worth A Click: The Diet/Exercise Addition

As of Monday September 29^th, there are 60 days before the Season of Eating that starts on Thanksgiving and goes through New Years day commences. Unless you start the season on the night of October 31, then you have 36 days to go. I was thinking for myself, now rather than my usually January vow, would be a good time to lose a little weight. Here are some of my favorite recipes sites. The exercise sites look interesting and that is all I have done so far is look at them

Gina Weight Watcher Recipes. I have mentioned Gina before but useful sites deserved to be mentioned more than once. Her recipes are weekday makeable plus Gina has already figures the WW points for you.

Diet Recipes Blog. Also weekday makeable recipes that are different. Here is one for Chow Mein Noodles Honey Nut Crunch Bars that are just 180 calories a serving.That sounds good dieting or not. 

There are more good sites out there . These two are ones I actually use. If you have a favorite please leave it in a comment below. I plan to do a commenter’s favorites update.

Just a note, there are many diets sites designed to sell products. Selling stuff is fine. Please suggest sites with original content that has some use other than to market products.

Here are two exercise sites I keep looking at and thinking.. “ You know I should….”

Fit and Fabulous at Forty …the title says it all

The Hundred Pushup Challenge Even the guys might want to check this site out.

Again of you have a favorite exercise blog, do tell in a comment below.

There is an excellent, free, interactive online bible study that deals with the issues of the heart and our desire to overeat available at The Lord’s Table. The intro sounds intimidating. The study itself is supportive.

Finally all that dieting and exercise deserves a reward: Dangerous Chocolate Cake in a Mug from Down Home Kitchen
