10 Things I Have Learned On My One-Year Anniversary
ZEN_WOMAN



Today is my anniversary and I have learned the following during my one year on SparkPeople:

1. Losing weight is hard!
2. Being fat is harder!
3. I rather be fit and healthy than fat and unhappy.
4. Giving up is not a good option.
5. Set backs are inevitable.
6. Overcoming setbacks can make your stronger (if it doesn't kill you- just kidding.)
7. Stay in the game long enough and eventually you will hit a plateau.
8. Pushing harder doesn't always yield the best results.
9. Listen to your body and take a break when you need to.
10. Reach out to at least one person everyday on SparkPeople. (Friends or strangers, it doesn't matter.) It helps and keeps me accountable.

Island Chicken with Pineapple Salsa (Chef Meg's Makeover)
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Chef Meg modified a member-submitted recipe to make it even easier and more nutritious than before.

Fruit is often a back-up ingredient or side dish at dinnertime, but it gets a co-starring role in this meal.

Serve this flavorful, lean chicken dish over brown rice or with a baked sweet potato and steamed green beans. Full Recipe
