Thanks Laura!!

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was in grade 10. Grade 10 was my favourite year. Well grade 11 was pretty fun too, grade 12 as well. Ok anyway, in grade 10 my little group of friends used to arrange for potluck sandwich lunches where we'd all bring a sandwich component (including homemade bread) and put the masterpieces together where we sat upstairs at school in the hall. Ah, the memories. I always thing grade 10 was great cause in my school picture I'm really tanned from spending part of the summer holidays on a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands. A nice tan makes me feel more radiant and healthy. Weird, cause it's actually the opposite. Oh well.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
I was planning a wedding! February last year was beautiful so I was probably biking to work and running more (although now I'm doing more yoga so it balances out). Oh I started running to work in February when the weather was so nice. That's also when I started using myfooddiary and subsequently lost nearly 15 lbs in time for the wedding! (I've gained back at least 5 of those over the holidays... oops!)
