ready to blog

This is Scott. 

He asked me if I would take over

His blog Quitting Sugar. 

I said “Yes!”

That was a month or two before COVID hit. 

Late in the year 2019. Soon-

Everything closed down

And nurses got incredibly busy. 

I might have even had a form 

Of COVID myself. 

And I was never more sick 

In my life. (Wah!)

So 2020 was a great year.

Blogging, Crypto, all kinds of things

Just opened up during lockdown. 

Lots of info on lighting and sound. 

Lots of change afoot. 

Lots of common people 

Doing incredible things. 

Well, along comes Amazon Prime 

This week. I took total advantage. 

I waited like a sniper for lightening deals

And coupons. 

I got a drone, some tripods, 

Gimbal, selfie stick, 

Microphones, cheap-o GoPro, 

Light boxes, and back lights 

And I think I'm getting a partridge 

In a pear tree. Sometimes you get lucky. 

We’ll see when the order arrives. 

I’ve been planning this for years. 

And why not? 

I’ve been successful at LC x 13 years. 

I’ve been blogging x 13 years. 

Everyone knows me. 

And I really am a Nurse. 

So that counts for something.  

Ahh - my first nursing badge!

From 1990. Ahhhh. 

The hospital was named 

“Dedman” - that’s a plus. 

Patient: wakes up. “Where am I?”

Me: “Deadman. You’re at Dedman

Hospital.” Lol 

So what’s my niche?

Well… I’m over 60. 

I post menopausal. 

I work every day. 

I have no gallbladder. 

That makes Keto more difficult. 

There are lots of people like me. 

But ….

Here’s the real deal. 

We all know people who lost weight. 

But most of them gain it back. 

99% of all dieters fail. 

They regain all the weight 

AND THEN SOME. 

Sadly. 

We need better data on how to maintain. 

More motivation. More facts. 

Less gimmicks. More truth. 

That’s my niche! 

I’ll still do my Carb Tripper blog. 

That’s my sanity. Always. 

Bu this… this new blog. Vlog. 

I think it’s time! 

I have a format in mind. 

I love the way Mr Ballen tells stories. 

Crime stories that captivate

The audience.

Also Bailey Sarian. 

Good story tellers. 

(link)

She’s absolutely adorable. 

YouTube is my favorite format now. 

So many LC Vlogs are 

Technically advanced. 

Doctors taking to doctors. 

Waaaaay over most peoples heads. 

That a  “content driven” vlog. 

But who is the audience? 

That same question came up 

With last week’s KetoCon. 

Just who is it for? 

So many lectures were pretty top heavy.

They’re all like ATP and mTOR

When most people just want to know 

what’s for dinner. 

Other blogs and podcasts are simpler. 

Often “personality driven.”

Popular or pretty people. 

Local celebrities. Authors. 

I’m not an daring influencer. 

I’m not an affiliate or sponsored. 

I’ve never made a dime from blogging.  

Well- Except Fergus. 

He’s my “sponsor.”

I get paid in whiskers! 

I work a blue collar 

Non-glamorous job. 

Every day. Relatable. 

I come home covered with

Baby poo poo and sweat and slobber. 

Keto for regular people. 

So this new blog won’t be too technical 

Or too silly. Or too stuffy. 

Nothing over-stylized. 

Just Keto News we can use. 

The Sugar Free icing on the LC cake

Will be a theme of losing

The COVID Weight and 

Keep it off - we hope forever! 

I’m really excited and kinda scared. 

It can’t hurt to try! 

Thanks to everyone who takes

This journey with me!
