It's My Anniversary!

When I logged in today I got the message that's been a year in the making..."mindydaile has logged in for 365 days." While I can't say that each of those days represented a perfect day calorie or macro wise, it does represent 365 days of being more conscious of what I eat, for better or worse.

I'd hoped to make it to -100 pounds for this occasion but I've fallen short due to a few stalls and bumps along the way, but when I was feeling my lowest about this "failure" I went on my annual vacation. The pictures from vacation last year were one of the factors that spurred this journey, and seeing them side by side showed me that even when I'm not perfect I'm still a long way from where I started.

    Congratulations. You are doing exactly what it takes - setting goals and going after them, picking yourself up when you stumble and getting back on the path. You should be really proud of yourself for staying at it for a year now.

    86 pounds may not be a 100 but I wish I were that far down. WTG!!! We all know that took a lot of hard work.
