Today I have reached two major goals! First, I started the P90X program the first day of this year and today I complete it! It was tough but I got through with the help of the SparkPeople P90X team. I have not posted there in awhile but I have been reading their material and it has kept me motivated. The second goal I've reached is I have officially joined the 50 lb weight loss club! Today I weighed in at 51.5 lbs lost; cracking the 240 lb barrier! I'm really pumped. Tomorrow I take a trip to Brooklyn, NY and New Jersey to see family and friends for a week. None of them know what I've been doing since last October when I joined this site. I can't wait the hear and see their reaction. I owe a great depth of gratitude to SparkPeople. But I am still not finished. As a matter of fact, I have come to the conclusion I will never be finished. What do I mean? Well I am now fully committed to this being a lifestyle change, not a diet. That means I will always be committed to exercise and watching what I eat. Why so successful? As I've said in other blogs, tracking everything and being consistent in my exercise program. My next major goal is 200 lbs and with my mindset and the tools this site provides, I know I will reach it.
