All About the Blog
1.
How long have you been blogging?
I started my blog as a way to journal in 2009. A year and a half or so
later, I changed the name of it and started posting in it as more of a
blog than just
a journal that was on the internet. In the last couple years, since I
started running, I’ve gotten more serious about it and have settled on
what I believe to be the perfect name and feel for my blog.

What do you like about being a blogger?
I like that I can get my message out there and let people know that
real people have weight loss struggles and they have issues with
motivation and slip
ups and backslides. I like that I can connect with people would have
never otherwise met and find a kindred soul…maybe even a new friend!

What do you dislike about being a blogger?
I, so far, have not had the problems of other bloggers where they
receive threats and nasty messages from readers, so there’s really
nothing I dislike
about blogging.
4.
What are the top 5 topics that you write about most frequently?
Has it changed since you started your blog?
Weight loss, running, the gym & home workouts, healthy cooking &
meal prep, and life in general. Yes, it has changed a LOT. As I said,
my blog started out as just a journal for me (you
can go back to my original posts if you’re curious…they’re still there)
and at that time I was going through a horrible life experience. Quite
literally it was one of the worst times of my entire life. It was also
during the time when I got to my largest
weight (260-ish…maybe more…I avoided scales). Then it moved onto my
struggles to lose weight and get a grip on my life. And now it’s all
about my running obsession, my continued efforts at weight loss and
healthy living, and just life as I see/experience
it.

How often do you read other blogs? Are there any that you read regularly that we should be reading too?
I read other blogs regularly. Most are running and/or weight
loss/healthy living related.
I highly recommend Diary of an Aspiring Loser, Run Eat Repeat, Runner
Unleashed, Mile Posts, Shut Up and Run, Run Selfie Repeat (one of my
absolute favorites!)

How do you define success when it comes to blogging? When someone comments that they are inspired by something I’ve posted
7.
Share something that you know now as a result of blogging that you didn’t know before. It’s possible to inspire someone you’ve never met and probably never will meet.

Has blogging had an effect on your life? If so, share the details.
Blogging, hand in hand with my passion for running and healthy
lifestyle, has made me a more confident person. I’m no longer
afraid of what people might think about me no matter what I do or say.
I’m a much stronger person. I have self-confidence. I’m a better me.
9.
How did you come up with your blog’s title?
I wanted to make the title something personal, so that’s why my name is
in it. then, obviously, I run a lot. Lastly, I included the “weigh”
to
signify that this blog is also about achieving and maintaining a
healthy weight/lifestyle. Sara Runs This Weigh. And it also signifies
that this is the way I do things and it works for
me.
10. What’s the coolest thing about blogging? The connection
with other people.
Not sure about the theme but this post was totally unreadable for me unless I did a 'select all' so that the text would highlight and I could see it ...
