Second Anniversary
Two whole years! I'll never forget the day that I started this blog. It was the day that Bangor Metro came to do a cooking segment at my house. I made pancakes that day and to celebrate this morning I made peanut butter, banana, sausage pancakes for Ben and I. I remember sitting down to write the first entry and wondering if I would give up on this after I got bored but two years later this blog is still my best tool (other than my laid up Brutus<3) for losing and keeping off weight.
When I started back then I sort of had this hope that I would find recipes and other fun things to share but I never really expected anyone else to read it. This was something I did to help me, not necessarily to entertain but I am pretty funny so...... there's that.... :) What the blog has turned into is more of an account of what it is like to lose weight in the real world. Demands of work, family, friends, and life in general make it hard to plan out the things that you need to stay healthy. This blog is a really great record of all of the things that have come up for me and how I have powered through or failed miserably and what I learned from those experiences.
Last year when I hit the one year mark I had this feeling like I had really accomplished something! I think because of that mindset I slacked off and didn't get back on track to making progress until recently and it is still a daily struggle to do all the things I know I should in order to meet my goal. This year I don't feel that same sense of accomplishment but I do feel a sense of longevity. It is amazing to know that I started something two years ago that is still a part of my life because it works and it's good for me.
I don't know what the next two years hold but the changes I've made so far will be a part of my life forever. I hope that in the next two years I get to plan a wedding for me and Ben. I hope that Brutus will be trained so well he can come to work with me and I hope that I'll be able to establish a real photography business of my own and continue to build on the great strides I've made over the previous two years.
Finally, thank you again for joining me on my adventure. I truly appreciate the time you take to read about what I'm doing and the kind words you send my way.
And for the record... I still haven't decide to cake or not to cake....
