I haven’t been a very good blogger lately, have I?
I don’t really have a good excuse for my lack of posting, other than that I’ve been trying to think less about trying to be a perfect healthy blogger and to think more about just being healthy in general. I’ve been seeing a dietitian and have lost about 12 pounds without having to change very much about my diet and exercise routine. The biggest change is that I’m actually doing less strenuous exercise and therein may lie the problem–I don’t have enough to come on here and brag about. I cut a Body Pump, a Next Level, and a spin to walk three times a week instead. I still spin twice a week and I either Body Pump OR Next Level once. I take one rest day. I know it’s still a lot more than many people do and I’m still proud of myself, but it’s kind of boring.
I’ve also been blogging about writing for my job and I’ve been working on designing my own more professional blog, but I kind of think I’d rather just combine this blog and some of the ideas I have for writing about teaching, public speaking, writing, and literature, and making this more of a Jaclyn Lives It Up blog than having several different blogs to write on. I’m still deciding. Whatever I do, I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

You should definitely be proud of yourself! Anything you write on public speaking would be appreciated since I can use all the help I can get. The tips you gave me that one time really helped! One day I will blog again too…
