I didnt know where to post this, but here it is! For all of the rookies out there (myself included) what is the one thing you've learned on this journey that trumps all others. In one sentence. It can be funny, serious..etc..but not negative!

You are ONLY competing against yourself: a competition that you take one step at a time for the rest of your life.0

Mine is: Do what works for you, not what everyone else thinks should work for you.0 -
Fruits and vegetables are delicious!0
