I was given the opportunity recently to review the EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale, and let me tell you, I have been impressed!  Do you want to see why?  Check out my video review below:

If you are interested in getting an EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale of your own, check out their deal at Amazon.com, from which they are donating the sale proceeds to a different charity monthly (March is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society).

*Note: The kind folks at EatSmart donated this scale to me for my review and use.  Even so, all comments in this post and the related video are mine alone, and were nothing short of honest.  If my opinion on the scale changes over time, you can rest assured that will be posted here as well.

Wow, this is a dusty place, isn’t it? Hardly a day goes by where I don’t think about this blog, but it has been a long time since I opened the door and came in.

I want to start off by thanking the few of you that have contacted me recently and in the past. Truly, the friends I made through this blog are still people that are on my mind often. Every single one of you made an impact in my life and for that I thank you all.

Some of you have asked what is going on in the life of South Beach Steve. Life has been busier than ever, and in fact too busy. Even so, things are good right now. I’ll try to hit the highlights here:

• First, the problems I wrote about earlier this year have totally subsided. I need to do a whole post about this, and truly I feel I owe this to all of you. I need to devote more time to a post like that, and I am not prepared to do that this morning.
• Second, my weight is finally stable, though it is much higher than I would like it to be or than it needs to be. I have not lost all the progress I made during my dedicated weight-loss efforts, but I have gained much of that weight back. I can also tell my fitness level is far from where it once was.

  I often said I couldn’t tell a big difference in how I felt as I progressed with my journey to a healthier and more fit Steve, but I can sure tell the difference now.

• I have learned something big about myself, something I think I have known for a long time, but was reinforced so strongly during the last couple of years, and even more so during this year, that I now cannot question it. I have learned that as dedicated as I can be to something, there is only so much Steve to go around. I consider myself to be a mentally strong person, but just like I have learned about my body, I cannot focus on more than one thing at a time. Most of the time that is okay, but when more than one major thing is going on, something has to give. In other words, when the going gets tough, I have to make decisions on what to give up. It was arguably the wrong decision, but I obviously gave up, or rather set aside for the time being, my weight loss journey.
• Next, I have learned that I needed to try harder to stay on task with this. Ultimately, my overall well-being is impacted by my level of fitness and the extra weight I carry around. I can’t change the past, but I can change the future.
• Finally, I learned that a dead, quiet blog can still garner attention. You wouldn’t believe the number of contacts I get to review products or soliciting an opportunity to do a guest post. If someone I knew wanted to guest post here, I would be more than willing to work with that person, but a total stranger who I know nothing about? I’m not finding a real interest in that right now. The product reviews, however, are tempting, but I realize I cannot in good conscience take someone up on that right now.

Work has been the “busy” part of my life. I have been on the road traveling a lot lately, but thankfully that is coming to a close. My job has been extraordinarily intense, but like the travel, I think the intense spell is coming to a close.

While a lot has been going on, there are things that are still the same. Even more than ever I have looked to photography and gardening as means of relaxation and rejuvenation. Believe it or not, I am actually still growing some greens right now in a homemade hoop house/greenhouse.

I am not sure what the future is here on the blog. To be honest, I miss it. As I sit here writing today, I am more aware of that than ever. I have to admit though, I enjoyed being the motivator, not the one that needed motivating. Right now, I am the one that needs motivating.

I appreciate the care you have each shown, especially those that have left comments and sent private emails. It is so encouraging to know that people out there still care. Who knows, this little visit to the blog today may be a new beginning here.

No matter what you are facing now, no matter where you are at in your life, know that you can make today a great day!
