Did you know that the Urban Dictionary actually includes a definition for a new affliction of the digital age? It’s called “Blogger Butt.”   The definition is —  Weight gain in the gluteal region which is directly related to spending large amounts of time blogging. I found out about this by reading Publicity Hound Joan Stewart‘s Ezine today, and it made me laugh.

Best of all, there are media opportunities waiting for those who take advantage of them.  Michelle landed an interview with FOX News later today on the topic of how women can stay healthy while in front of their computers 14 hours a day. Now that the weather has turned cooler in so many regions of our nation and Halloween and holiday treats stand ready to tempt us all, the timing is certainly right to find suitable antidotes to blogger butt.

Authentic Visibility Question of the Day? What solutions have you found to counter blogger butt?  My favorite solution is working out regularly with a heart rate monitor, eating mindfully, and drinking lots of water.  It’s not a particularly newsworthy answer, but it works for me — and the skinny jeans fit.  How about you?   Inquiring minds want to know!
