Waxing a bit philosophical, what is 300 days? It's not memorable for a baby, it's an eternity for cancer survivor, it's forever to a 5-year-old, it's a long time to spend in the bathroom, and on MFP it's - well interesting. Here's what happened to me in 300 days of logging in. - I took a chance and made my first friend MixMode - but he is deactivated. :( - I wrote my first blog back in September '11. - I read a message board about EATING your exercise calories. - I read a message board about NOT EATING your exercise calories. - I read a message board about EATING HALF your exercise calories. - I never read message board about NOT EATING at all. - I used the bathroom about 1,521 times because I drank about 2,302 glasses of water. - I weighed in 559 times (because I have to for my heart program). And if I kick the scale they bill me $1,500, so I took it out on the trainer at the Y. - I made measurements of all my body parts. - I took about 350 showers, most of them alone. - I accepted about 666 friend requests - none from the Devil. - I logged what I ate on Christmas, Thanksgiving, my birthday, and breakfast this morning. - I drank two 12 oz Cokes. - I ate 21 slices of pizza. - I Ran 461.19 miles @ 3.7 MPH. - I Rocked 104,492 calories exercising. - I lost 50-something pounds. - I had knee surgery. - I ran 12.57 MPH for the first time in a bajillion years. - I cut my blood pressure meds to 1/4 of what they were and dropped a few altogether. - I finished my first ever 5K on March 25th. - I heard the cardiologist say: "Your heart is fine - like it never happened." - I thought I finally understood woman, but I was wrong. - The Bruins won the Stanley Cup, the The Pats lost the Superbowl and the Red Sox totally sucked. - I bought a new bicycle. - I never deleted an MFP freind. - I registered for 3 more 5Ks and maybe will do 5 or 6 more this season. - I exercised on vacation in Florida, California and Cape Cod. - I did "that" and didn't log it - and well it's none of your business. - I changed my diet to exclusively contain low-fat dairy, whole grains; lean meat, fish and pork; lots of veggies and fruit, and dark chocolate. - I never had a cheat day. - I went over my calores about 12 times (all the rest of the times I lied. Ha!) - I learned how to eat out without blowing my log for the day or the week. And best of all, I have found some of you to be the most supportive friends that I have had on this journey, and that's why I need to have my head examined. :) Thanks for all your support, comments, votes, corrections and care, it matters. |
