I have found that the more I blog (or read blogs) the less time I have to do everything else in my life, including working out. How is that for irony? I’m writing a workout blog, yet I’m starting to NOT make the time for working out because I need to write blog posts.
So if you don’t see me here (or commenting on your blog) for a day or two, it’s simply because I needed to use my computer time for something else. Maybe I am taking a walk with the kids. Maybe I’m lifting weights. Or pretty soon, I might actually be running again. (Yay!)
How about you? Have you found that blogging has taken over your life?

Junction Mamas last blog post..Tag, you’re it!
Yes! I need to get back to my workouts too! But there is just so much good stuff to keep up with (like a visit here!)…
Lances last blog post..Life’s A Balancing Act
good god, woman, of course! You (as in, we all) need to take a break and step away from the computer. It can become the biggest time suck ever. Enjoy your time away and know that your followers won’t desert you just bc you don’t blog all day every day
Oh the irony, right! I totally feel you on this. Sometimes I just schedule it in, and hey, if you miss a day or two blogging, it’s no biggie in the larger scope of things, right?!

It seems to take away from quite a bit. Good for you for taking time away from the blogosphere for yourself
Momisodess last blog post..BlogHer Boston Recap

YOUR life first. Blog must take a back seat!!
short answer: YES.
It pays the bills and really love doing it though. i love to write and hope to make it my permanent gig (then its not agig, huh?) but for right nowi love answering questions meeting people an sharing my expertise and experience with others.

Grounded Fitnesss last blog post..What Yoga Teaches You: Harvest Peace for Yourself and the Planet
I know the feeling. And blogging does not pay any of my bills, but is a relatively “cheap” hobby. But in order to come up with topics, I find that I constantly need to keep reading about health and fitness, hence less time working out than I would like. But that is why I basically cut my posting schedule in half.
asithis last blog post..3 Blogging Questions and Eye Rolling
It’s all nuts! Which is why I’m going nuts! I was out on a shoot yesterday all day away from my computer – it’s nice to get away from this thing now and then. BTW, I like your blog’s new look!
I HEAR YA! Good luck getting out there!!!
Steve Stenzels last blog post..Five K Fotos
Yep! Plus I do web and blog design at home, so I find myself constantly checking the computer at times. I have to remind myself that I have to schedule in computer/work/blogging time. RIght now I’m doing better, only working in early morning or at night, and only starting to work AFTER I have gotten my morning workout in!! But yes, I do seem to get consumed by it and I too have taken a few days off this past week!
Kathys last blog post..So Far Behind
I think Leslie summed up my feelings pretty well! Of course I know exactly where you are coming from:) I need to learn to take a break every once in a while as well…
charlottes last blog post..Wanted: Only Uber-Thin Women With Ginormous Breasts Need Apply
Yep – my computer is making me fat! I’m laying awake unable to sleep because I’m all excited because I just figured out how I can get fit again, start running again and be motivated to do the things I’ve been using my computer to help me procrastinate over! I’m going to wake up at 6 am and begin to run again – I may drag my butt out and barely run my first few times out, but I know that if I do it for a few weeks it’ll get easier and will trickle into more motivation to do other things in my life ie: clean my house!
Mom On The Runs last blog post..Feel Your Boobies!
Yes, yes, and yes. YES!
Take care of yourself. 
syds last blog post..Too Cool For School
Yes definitely interferes with a lot. Seems to get out of hand once you find tons of blogs, articles, sites, etc. you like to visit. I try to limit myself daily.
TB-Milwaukees last blog post..Apple Picking Time
School? What school? I’m busy blogging!
…um, yes. I suppose I ought to make sure I’m balancing blogging with the rest of my life:)
Sometimes it’s good to step away from it for a few days!

Perceptive and intelligent — two more reasons why I enjoy reading your blog
Merrys last blog post..Staying Healthy When The Economy Sucks
yes sometimes I just need a day away from the computer. Some days I like to devote myself to the cleaning or cooking without any interruptions except kiddos
Blogging can take over that is for sure. Everything in moderation.
Annettes last blog post..A litte HYC check in…..squeezed in in the midst of morning rush
Totally! I am in a state of deprivation right now b/c our home computer is being fixed: so no Yahoo or Facebook at home (I can blog and read blogs at work.)
I’m amazed at how much more time I have in the Trenches when I’m not sitting in front of the time-sucking computer.
Trenches of Mommyhoods last blog post..Home Again
Wow. My first visit here and I’m hooked. Blogging has been eating away at my workout time. I am declaring right here, right now, that tomorrow I will exercise! And tonight I will do bicep curls while watching the debate on TiVo.
Stacey / Create a Balances last blog post..Take Action! Help Children Impacted by Poverty
Yes, I’ve been sucked into blogging and I’m thrilled about it but feel I only have time to scratch the surface. I want so badly to check out these other blogs (offered right up for me these very comments) but it’s hard to get out there. And then Facebook… I’m just starting on that from all the outside pressure to do it. How’s a mom supposed to keep up?
Kara from Mama Sweats last blog post..End of an Era, Not a Friendship
I am new to blogging (reading and writing) I am home with a not so new baby (10mo). I find that most of bloggers blog at work so they still have time to have a life away from thier blogging. We who are home must be stronger.
Here is me truning the laptop off to go to bed NoW (12:35 pm here)
