First things first, I had an awesome weekend at Fitbloggin

…and I had an interesting little twitter happening tonight…

…but we’ll get to all that later.

First things first…I’ve renamed the blog…again.

Dude, wtf?!  Didn’t we just go through this?

Yeah, yeah…but hear me out…

I wanted to change the name from 265andfalling mainly because a) I had gotten way above 265 lbs, and b) I wanted to be able to blog about other stuff and not feel stuck because of the name.  So I chose BlogofSteve, and it was okay…but then I didn’t do much with the blog.  I didn’t post all that much, and didn’t really talk about all that much other stuff.  I burned out, basically.

But this weekend with all of my blogging friends at Fitbloggin kind of reinvigorated me, not just in wanting to push on with the weight loss stuff, but with the blogging and with the community in general.  So I thought a fresh-ish start was in order.

And I chose Running on Awesome because:

a) I really did fall in love with running, and I want to get back into it, and it fits with the healthy living/weight loss stuff.

b) Running on Awesome could be to me, as “running on gasoline” would be to a car, in which case the blog isn’t just a healthy living/weight loss blog, but is just an awesome blog!

c) I use the word “awesome” about 50,000 times a day, in about 50,000 different ways, so it feels right.  Plus maybe I’ll be motivated to actually some more “awesome” stuff! :D

BOOM! Versatility!

Anywho, I’m also changing the twitter handle to @RunonAwesome, which will probably confuse the fuck out of any new followers from Fitbloggin, but it’ll eventually work itself out.  I also promise not to change the names again anytime soon, and I won’t change the twitter pic so ya’ll will know its me!

I also do plan to actually do a lot more with the blog, at least a (eventual) redesign at first. But I will definitely try to keep up with it more.  I wasn’t lying when I said I missed you.

I’m also still doing Weight Watchers, will still be doing Thursday weigh ins, and will be keeping all of the old posts (too much history)!

And…that’s it. :)

  3. Like I told you earlier today, do what works for you. OldBray & Cashew Butter = awesomesauce!

  4. Love the new name. “BOOM! Versatility” is right! Please consider, as your new blog grows, exploring in posts some of the myriad of ways you use “awesome.” I use it all the time too – but there’s always room to use it more!

    Regarding your twitter happening, I’m so happy for you. Just happy.

    One more thing. Less than a month til this premieres!

  5. I like it. I think it’ll help ID yourself a bit better. I know when you went to “Blog of Steve” that you weren’t fully satisfied.

    • Thanks! I was definitely not fully satisfied, but I though it’d grow on me…and it kinda did, but I knew I could do better.

  6. “confuse the fuck out of new followers” cracked me up.
    It was nice to meet you this weekend, what a blast!
    I, too, have been thinking about changes in blog names etc. since the weekend.
    I’m glad you took the plunge, it is going to push me along.

    • Haha…I PROBABLY should have waited until after the new Fitbloggin peeps were able to find me, but I’ve left a trail for them! But it was definitely worth taking the plunge! :)

  7. By crikey you had a busy night then! :) Love the new name, surely you can’t outgrown this one, you can just keep evolving and finding more and more ways to be even more awesome. One that note, AWESOME to hang out with you this weekend matey! :)
