Rotated car tires
In 2020 before i started my diet I was in terrible physical shape. The thought of changing a car tire was scary. I could do it maybe. Today I just changed or rotated 4 car tires in 50 minutes and I didn't break a sweat. I feel great.

Daily Journal Streak
1772 days of logging all my foods. Sort of a 'thing' now that I don't ever want to miss a day because it might lead to more days skipped. Curiously, as a senior I never in my life have been on a diet. I'm a career chef/baker so there were always plenty of temptations (still are LOL). My original goal was to monitor…
