Happy Birthday, Type1Chick!

Holy crap, this blog is 10 years old today!

I started out trying to get myself in bikini shape for the summer of 2007, no easy task when you have Type 1 Diabetes.  Unfortunately I didn't actually succeed that year, or the year after.  I didn't always stick with the blog, slowly posting less and less until my all time low of 3 posts in 2013.  But since then I started picking up steam, trying to post ever week starting in the fall of 2015 (and largely succeeding).  Even though it doesn't compare to my high of 77 posts in 2007, 2016 actually ended up my second-best year of posting here!

I also didn't exactly stick with living a healthy life.  Over the years my weight yo-yoed down then back up.  As life got busier with work, staying active and eating healthy got a bit harder.  But now work is steady and I'm trying my best to lead a healthier life.  I no longer care if I look good in a bikini; I just want to do my best to lead a healthy, active life free from complications.

So here's to 10 years, and almost 300 posts (I'm sooo close - I wish this could have been post #300!)  And here's to a future dedicated to being the healthiest I can be!  :)
