A BGG2WL Update

Just some basics to cover on the day after Thanksgiving... ...

by Erika Nicole Kendall

Alright, y’all..

I’ll be spending the weekend and the upcoming week updating and modifying the site, as well as making some much needed changes to the comments system and moderating process, here. The Clean Eating Boot Camp – which is still taking place – will convert to an e-mail system where you can sign up and receive one post each day that’ll provide tools and tips for converting to clean eating, so that you can follow along from the start instead of trying to jump in in the middle.

Y’all have built an amazing community, here. Between those who comment here, the facebookers and those who interact with me on twitter, there are thousands of people who support this site and the purpose… and I think it’s time that I start honoring and respecting that by giving y’all what you want!

So… tell me! What do you want to see here at BGG2WL? What topics do you want to see covered? What features do you want to see? What do you want to hear about? What do you want to know? Let me know what I can do to help make this site awesome, and I’ve got you covered!

In the mean time, I’ve got a few posts that I think may tide you over for today:

Q&A Wednesday: Where Do I Begin?

Q&A Wednesday: Creating Your Own Strength Training Routine

What Is Sugar Addiction?

Q&A Wednesday: When Should I Start Lifting Weights

Hi Erika!
I love this blog and think you have done a fantastic job enlightening us on benefits of clean eating! Bravo!

I do have a few questions that I would like to see covered (if you haven’t covered then already):
1) did you already know how to cook before changing your eating habits?
2) if not, what steps did you take to become the cook that you are now? (and I know you’re a great cook because I’ve tried a few of your recipes and they have been great!)

That is my biggest hurdle in the ‘clean eating’ department – I am not a cook, but have been wanting to learn for years now.
Well let me clear that statement up – I can cook by recipe only. I can’t just go in the kitchen and put a meal together.
I know – it’s sad – but I’m willing to change all of that for my health and the health of my family.

I Love this site! And I have turned a few folks on to it in the process. What I would really love is if you could periodically, say every 3 or 4 months, bring back the Clean Eating Challenge. I missed the first one and although I COULD and SHOULD do it on my own, there is something very motivating about doing the challenge in a group setting.

A few rules for posting, friends:

Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
Disrespecting me or the people who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned.)
Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I keep the community civil. Everyone appreciates that civility until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail me to complain. I already know you're mad.)
