Happy KERFday

I always miss my real anniversary of August 29th because I use September 1 as the date I tell folks when I started the blog. But ….

Happy KERFDAY!

This blog started at BlogSpot as Sweat, Eat, Sleep, Repeat two years ago as a way to share my weight loss success to the world through good food and recipes. I was working in public relations at the time and had about 5 readers follow me over from my blog on CalorieKing. Heck, I couldn’t even get my mom to read in the beginning!

On last year’s KERFday I talked about the history of the blog. If you haven’t read the original first entries, you’ll probably be shocked at how different my posts and style were. Like the blog, my life and my mindset have evolved significantly since those early days of maintaining 30 pounds. Both KERF and I have grown up a lot.

Here’s to 365 more days of Real Food!

    Yay! I love celebrating things on Sept 1. Mostly because it’s my birthday 🙂 But also because it feels like a new, fresh start – the weather is changing, school is going back in session, fall foods are popping up, etc. Congrats on another great year of blogging!

    Happy Blog Anniversary!! I will have to check out your earlier posts since I recently just discovered your blog.

    Question on the Ota Bars. Does she ship them to other states? They look and sound amazing! I use to know a couple in Las Vegas that made their own bars and they used all natural ingredients as well, but life got busy and they stopped making them. I miss them!

    Happy KERFday!

    I love fall as well. It’s been nice and chilly in the mornings here. Perfect for oatmeal! I even went searching for pumpkin the other day, but alas, none to be found. Apparently there was a pumpkin shortage last year and the canned supply is serious lacking 🙁

    Hapyy Birthday KERF!! I followed the link to Sweat Eat Sleep Repeat and found this phrase very amusing:

    “Wish I could post photos with every meal, but I just don’t know how feasible that is!”

    Haha. You’ve obviously come so far and it’s a treat (!) for us all to read about your life. Thanks for being so committed.

    PS – It’s FREEZING up here in Boone today. 🙁 What happened to summer?!?!

    Thank you so much for sharing! I’m down 15 lbs. and dropped from a size 12 being tight to an 8 being loose. It’s not just pounds…it’s how I look and feel. I’ve gained muscle and lost fat. Your blog is an inspiration!
