"Wait," you say, "Isn't that what all your posts are about?" You may have a point there, but I'm going to ignore you.
Lots of bloggers create a 100 Things About Me post when they reach 100 posts. We're somewhere around there, so I thought I'd go ahead and do that. Sara will be cringing when she reads this and wondering if she has to do it too. No, she does not. But if she doesn't, I will do it for her. That should strike fear into her heart (and possibly her stomach, too).
I'll try to include some weight-loss and/or health-related facts in the list to keep it relevant.
One of these things is a lie. If you are the first to guess which once, I will give you a prize. The prize may or may not be imaginary.
