My 1st2nd food blog ever is a pretty festive event so I am celebrating with a giveaway. It runs until noon on Saturday, July 4th (another festive date). The rules are outlined below. What am I giving away? A Flogg.
The fancy (slightly erotic sounding) name basically means a food and exercise log. The Flogg is a small leather bound book with pages set up to record calorie expenditures and gains. There is also a reference section in the back with calories for common foods and calories burned for common exercises.
Research has shown that keeping a written record can help you to stick to, and achieve, a goal. My mom bought me this book as a gift after I spotted a giveaway at Tina’s blog and got intrigued. It turned out that the Flogg was a little too detailed for me, especially because I already keep a blog, but I think it could be a great tool for someone else.
I will be sending one lucky winner (choosen using a random integer generator) my brand new Flogg free of charge. The giveaway ends at noon on Saturday, July 4th. To win –
- comment on this page about whether or not your currently keep any sort of food/exercise log
- add my new address to your blogroll OR ‘cc me in an e-mail in which you tell five friends about the blog
- for extra chances to win link back to this post from your blog
Good luck!

Love the new blog!! 🙂
I don’t keep logs – my trainer does for me, hahaha.
I love the idea of a flogg (especially b/c of the fun name hehe)! Right now, I keep track of my food on my blog, but I’ve also kept notes on my iphone and in notebooks before. I find it really helps me understand where my energy comes from and what it goes to.
I’ll be sure to link back to your site in my post later today! 🙂

Sara – happy birthday!
Congrats on your new blog!! 🙂 And all my logs are random excel spreadsheets that get lost on my work & home computers… I would love to consolidate them into one handheld journal.
And I’ll be happy to add you to my blogroll!
Congrats on your fresh start!!! And what a great way to mark it, with a brand new blog. 🙂 I will update the Google reader immediately! I used to keep a food/fitness journal, but have actually just recently let it go. Feels great so far!
I don’t keep logs, but really need to. I’d love one of those books!

congrats on the new blog! i’m not keeping any kind of log right now…but it’s probably because i don’t have a cool one like this one!
I love the idea of a flogg
im extremely detail oriented…so i think a FLOGG would be perfect for me ‘anal’- tendencies thanks!!
great new blog!
Congrats on the new blog. I don’t keep a food journal now, but I used to and am considering starting up again.
Congrats on the new blog!!
I don’t keep a food journal anymore, b/c I’m trying to eat more flexibly, but I’ve been wanting to re-start!
congrats on the new blog & starting a new chapter in your life!!! too bad you’re leaving the old blog cause i really liked your unique name…
i’ve heard of the thing called flogg…funny name. i used to keep a meticulous journal of all my eats, but i slowly weaned away from it. i would love to get back to it and keep myself accountable. ^^
congrats on your new blog! i’d love to try out flogging! right now, i only blog 🙂
The new blog looks/sounds great!
I don’t reeeeally keep an organized journal, but occassionally i tally my food and/or exercise in the margins of my notebooks. Especially when i am bored at work during meetings. I think it is helpful for really ascertaining my daily intake/outgo (outtake?).

love the FLOGG! i use my planner/Gmail calendar to kind of keep an exercise log, although i don’t keep a food log because i found it way too obsessive. however, i would love a FLOGG to keep me on track for my upcoming marathon!
The new blog looks great! I added it to my blogroll 🙂
I have been intrigued by the FLOGG for a long time now. I currently use the Daily Plate (through http://www.livestrong.com) to record exercise and food, but I’ve always been slightly old-fashioned in that I like having writing stuff out by hand! It would also be nice to not feel so tied to my computer all the time 😉
