So I'm hoping that exercise will solve the problem. Although, being lazy doesn't help. Hehe.

It sucks, I looked at my belly today and I am embarrased. I do blame food blogging, and I blame the winter, it has not let me get outside for exercise and I also blame beer. I am now fat.

I've taken up blogging as a food passionate person, and while I enjoy all of my home-cooked goodies, I'm lucky to have friends and family that drop what they are doing to indulge. And really, I can almost guarantee that I'll be left with the healthier options as the treats are snapped up like wild fire. To (food) blog readers, have you visited more restaurants based on blog posts? And, if so, what have been the secondary effects? - I use food blogs for a two main reasons; Education - from the bloggers personal experience, back story, food knowledge and restaurant information. Enjoyment - Like baking, I appreciated the work, time and food people get to discover. Almost like watching No Reservations on a daily basis, but being lucky enough to communicate with the host. As always, Cheers to your commitment! How much does your eating habits have change since you started blogging?

Very useful when dining out with more people, as you can then find out what everything tastes like without having to order it all.

It's like an addiction! I think I might have gained a bit of weight, but not too much. I still play my hockey 3 times a week and I try to not eat too many fried things. I'm sure the salt in my diet will not be good. I guess I may need to go to the doctor for a checkup. I'm not looking forward to that. I enjoy reading other bloggers too since there is absolutely no way in knowing about all the great places to eat here in the GVRD. So many gems!

If it weren't for you bloggers or dinehere.ca id be completely blind or would have to rely on just word of mouth. i enjoy reading your blog and as well as others out there so keep doing what you're doing! unfortunately for me, my high metabolism doesn't like to cooperate with me =P. i fail to gain weight through eating and as much as i would like to(i feel im a bit too slender for my liking), it just doesn't work for me. other than that, the only other side effects are probably indigestion or the rare food poisoning! Haha! Blog lurking has given me more insight on the restaurants reviewed and has broadened my choices when choosing to dine out.
