The Carrot is 2!
Just because this picture is of a cupcake does not make it okay to eat one -- we clear? Good, carry on ...
Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the day I decided to stop being a lazy fatass and start up this blog! In blog years this makes the Carrot like 34-years old (Al Gore confirmed this).
Two years seems like such a long time ago - I barely even remember that guy?
It has been a fun ride so far and since I am always ripping off stats and numbers here we go:

When the carrot was started the sole intention was to keep myself accountable. I figured if family and friends were reading then workouts would not be missed and excuses would not be made. After I slimmed down and reached my goals the blog would no longer be needed and the plug would be pulled.
But along the way something happened. That something was that I really enjoyed doing a mind dump a few times a week. It had really helped me release the pressure and stress of day-to-day life and this is something that I never expected. Then something even better happened and I meet a bunch of other bloggers that share similar interests and have the same perspectives on fitness and health. Then these other bloggers soon became friends! If you are reading this you are one of those people and I feel blessed each and every day to have meet such great folks here in our own little slice of the interwebs. So THANK YOU all for reading my mostly incoherent postings and sharing your own stories and experiences along the way. It has been a wonderful (and active) two years and I look forward to many more!
Thanks for Reading,
Jeff
