It's been right around a year since I started fat secret. I'm just over 180 (fluctuating in between 180 -185) I started off at 235, so I would say the first year has been overwhelmingly successful!
Lots of highlights over that last year. But the biggest ones:
1) I'm in size 32 pants! I was ready to start buying size 40 when I started, so this is huge.
2) I completed the 4 mile KC Zoo run in 46 min 46 sec. This puts me in the 11 min mile range. When I started I couldn't run 1/2 mile without being sidelined for a week due to shin splints.
So what are my goals for this year?
Don't know if I feel comfortable setting goals that far out. My only real goal was to "complete" the 4 mile zoo run last year. I wouldn't have ever guessed (last year at this time) that I'd be in size 32 or that I'd be able to run 4 miles as well as I did.
My biggest goal is to get off of CPAP. I haven't really spoken about that goal to anyone but my wife, but that's one of the driving forces. I am getting closer, I've been able to reduce the pressure on the CPAP machine and I'm not nearly as groggy when I "sleep" without it. I have no idea how long it'll take, but it's close enough now that I can taste it.
I do want to continue improving my running times. However it's pretty cold out right now, so I'm not running till warmer weather gets here.
Onto the real meat of this post:
I'm starting p90x tonight. I completed pre-test yesterday and am a bit sore today. I am worried about it. But why am I worried about it? No idea really. It could be that I've done so well without really setting time based goals. 90 days is a pretty specific goal.
I think that I just need to wrap my head around doing the best I can with p90x. Forget about looking ripped, seeing abs, or losing a specific amount. Just follow the vids as best I can, and whatever happens happens.
Peace,

I actually feel quite a bit better after writing that :) Thank you for listening.
