Helllllo!!! I am alive and well!  Neal and I are moving apartments this weekend so we’ve been busy busy!  Our official move out day is Monday but our complex gave us our keys Saturday afternoon so we have taken advantage of the extra day and a half.

The move has been going really well (easiest we’ve ever had together actually).  I know most people hate moving, but I actually enjoy it.  It’s a fresh start and a great way to get rid of things you’re not using.

One thing y’all may not know about me is that I have moved 15 times (19 if you include apartment moves) in the past 28 years.  As an Air Force brat, I moved just about every 2 years growing up and have continued the habit/routine ever since.  Let me give you a little run down of my moves by state..

  1. Texas
  2. Florida
  3. Virginia
  4. Florida
  5. Germany
  6. Rhode Island
  7. Texas
  8. Alabama
  9. Virginia
  10. Mississippi
  11. Texas
  12. Virginia
  13. Vermont
  14. Virginia (moved to 4 different apartments 6 year span)
  15. Maryland (this is our second apartment move in MD in 6 months)

After all those moves, the routine of moving just comes natural to me.  You have to organize at every stage and just realize that everything must be moved, so just do it.  Sometimes creating a plan can take up more time than just doing it.  Hopefully the next time we move we’ll be moving into something like this…

So a couple of weeks ago I asked y’all to fill out a survey as a way for me to see what topics you enjoy reading the most.  The survey confirmed a few things for me while also opening my eyes to topics y’all would like to read more about.

Here’s a little of what y’all had to say…

Question 1 – What do you enjoy reading about the most on Coffee Cake and Cardio?

  • 46% – Weight Loss
  • 17% – Exercise
  • 15% – Ashley’s Goals

Question 2 – How often do you want to hear about these topics?

  • 58% – Want me to share more about weight loss
  • 51% – Want me to keep recipe posts the same
  • 47% – Want me to share more recipes

Question 4 – Would you like to see video blogs (vlogs) on Coffee Cake and Cardio?

  • 50% – Yes
  • 50% – No

Question 5 – Would you like to see a daily food diary on Coffee Cake and Cardio?

  • 69% – Yes

The open responses were also extremely helpful and I appreciate y’all taking the time to list out things you’d like to hear more about.  A few of the requests were actually things on my radar, so that was great to see.

Again, thank you to those who filled out the survey and congratulations to Sara T. for winning the giveaway.

How many times have you moved?  If you could move anywhere, where would you move?
