I then took out double comments, people who were just commenting but not entering, and any entries that missed the deadline. That left me with 92 legit entries. I used Random Number Generator to generate [...]

Happy third anniversary, blog! [source] I don’t remember exactly when it hit me that I wanted to blog. I had lost 150 pounds and felt I only scratched the surface of my potential for holistic health.

I’m considering yesterday “Day 0″ in my chronicles of Green Mountain because it was a travel day and it, frankly, sucked a whole lot until about 8 p.m. EST when I arrived safely, though still wiping away tears, in Rutland, VT.
