What are the odds of an 11/11-born woman walking 11,111 steps and not knowing it until she added her steps in Noom? I'd never be able to do this on purpose if I tried. Then, there was the incident in Maui, Hawaii. Good times, good times.  
I make a wish at 11:11 a.m. and 11:11 p.m. every day for the past four years. You could too. Who knows? It may come true. Thanks for dropping by!
