New guy

[mbebos]

Woke up this morning, feeling pretty good about yesterday, but feeling that dread again in the back of my mind. I was doing my morning prayers while driving and giving thanks for a good day yesterday, I drove by a horrific car accident, where a car had a tree or telephone pole through the front bumper and very close to being up to the firewall/windshield. There was no one in the car as first responders had taken the people out of the car, but I found myself thinking my problems do not seem so bad, and I prayed for that person and their family instead.

Killed it at the gym this morning. Starting my day with a workout has been great. I do it inside my company. I am normally a night shower guy, but the shower at the gym before starting my day makes me feel much better and more confident. Shirts that were a "no way" are now an "almost fits", shirts that were borderline are now fitting in the last month.

My goal is to be down another 30lbs by the end of March, bringing me up to 60lbs lost. By the end of July, I would like another 20-30 to be gone. I am hoping at my physical next month, because I was so close to the bottom border of pre-diabetic that the 30 lbs I have already lost will drop me back into a safe A1C, and that by the time I lost the 90 lbs I want to, that I will be in a normal A1C.

Beyond that goal weight of 250 lbs, I could stay there and be happy as it is not a bad weight for me, but I have a dream of doing P90X again. I did it 7 years ago, I went from 250 to 218 right after our wedding. I got almost 60 days into it, kicking butt and I got pneumonia/bronchitis that took a month to recover from, and my house flooded out and I lost my workout space and most of my living space. It has been a massive goal for me to do that program again.

So, 280 by end of March, 250 by the end of July. Start P90X in mid August.
