My one year anniversary on MFP

Just have to brag a little: I have logged into MFP 365 days in a row! My starting goals have all been met:
1. my blood pressure is now normal.
2. I can fit into my 7 ml wetsuit again. (I'm a scuba instructor- this was important!)
3. I can run a 5k in under 30 minutes.
Now a few stats:In one year I have lost 33 pounds and a total of 23 inches! My BMI has gone down 7.8 points.

My new goals are to maintain what I have achieved so far and to run a little faster and a little farther.

For any of you struggling or who are discouraged: you only have to get through one day at a time. Make getting healthy a part of your daily routine, you are doing it for YOU! :flowerforyou:

    I admire your dedication.
  • Hi Glassgallm,

    I can relate to your goals, especially of running a 5K under 30 minutes. I won't ever be that fast, but I ran a 5K on my 60th birthday this year so I could set a new PR for my new age group. I ran 35:18.

    It sounds like you are doing amazing! I wish you great good fortune in all your efforts to be healthy and fit!
