Daily Food Diary – Day 254 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness, Uncategorized

Today is Day 254 of my 2025 Daily Food Diary! 💓 I have (so far) been successful in putting out my daily post. 👍 I have been enjoying recapping my days in this manner and I have been successful in making some beneficial changes to my diet.

For the reasons above, I have decided to maintain this project through 2026 – with one slight change….

Rather than tracking my calories consumed each day, I am going to track my calories used.

I feel that I am ready for this move and I am excited to explore new ways and means to keep active.   AND I am excited to share my conquests with all of the regular and occasional visitors to my blog.

Getting down to the core health issues that have plagued my entire life and discovering ways to deal with them and improve my fitness level and quality of life has been an amazing adventure for me. 

I know it has been less than exciting, and more than a bit painful, for those who have been following me for the past +3 years. 

I get that, and I appreciate it.  But the wins I make are not made in the grand gestures or the  five star days.  They are an accumulation of all of the moments, the choices, the bits and pieces of knowledge that I pick up along the way.

It’s not fireworks and shooting stars – but from where I was three years ago to where I am now, I think it’s pretty impressive. 😁

  10. So many people get discouraged when change doesn’t come fast enough. But you’re such a powerful reminder, Anne, that real growth happens when we show up every day, put in the work from every angle, and keep building on those small steps—because that’s how we GROW our wins.
