So, today is the big day. \u00a01000 days consecutive logging on MyFitnessPal (MFP). \u00a0Quadruple digits! \u00a0Seeing as I am a numbers nerd when it comes to logging my running miles and logging miles, I am pretty excited about today.<\/p>\n

I was trying to decide how to commemorate 1000 days of logging and how much I have changed since I have joined MFP, I decided I would *gulp* post before and after pics.<\/p>\n

Most people on MFP know me as the runner. \u00a0A lot of people don’t remember me from when I first joined. \u00a0That’s okay. \u00a0I’m not the same person I was 1000 days ago!<\/p>\n

When I joined, I had already lost a substantial amount of weight but still had quite a ways to go. \u00a0I joined because my mom’s dietitian told me to. \u00a0I was supposed to keep tabs on her and to encourage her to eat right and exercise. \u00a0THAT was a fail. \u00a0She logs inconsistently and doesn’t eat well to this day.<\/p>\n

That is neither here or there…<\/p>\n

1000 days ago, I was involved in doing water aerobics three days a week and was just starting a lifting program. \u00a0The lifting was a mess. \u00a0Inconsistent. \u00a0Just and here and there hit and miss type of thing. \u00a0Then the gasoline prices started to climb and I had to switch gyms to help with the gasoline costs.<\/p>\n

I was still doing water aerobics and also got serious with my lifting. \u00a0The pounds began to melt away. \u00a0I was still a chub, but I was trimming up! \u00a0I liked this!<\/p>\n

Enter C25K.<\/p>\n

My sister got me started on running by having me join the C25K program with her. \u00a0I fell in love with running. \u00a0I was seriously hooked! \u00a0Never looked back. \u00a0The more I ran, the less time I had for my lifting. \u00a0It came to where I had a choice to make. \u00a0Running or Lifting. \u00a0I simply couldn’t do both.<\/p>\n

I chose running.<\/p>\n

I have been running a little over three years now. \u00a0Absolutely love it! \u00a0Not just because running has helped me drop the rest of my weight but because of all the terrific friends I have made, literally across the globe, in the running community. \u00a0You will not find a better group of people that of those in running circles.<\/p>\n

So, here are my two pics. \u00a0My heavier pic of me is not at my peak weight. \u00a0I refused to have my pic taken by that time. \u00a0It’ll give you a little bit of an idea of what I looked like before I started with MFP. \u00a0(That is me on the far right. \u00a0That is also MFH, #1 Daughter and #1 Son).<\/p>\n
