There's Less of Me
To go around, that is. As of this morning, a mere seven weeks into our P90X regime, I'm down 15.6 lbs, standing at 204.2 (started at 219.8 for you math whizzes).
I'm not sure the last time I was this low, but it's been a few years, to be sure. And the last time I was under 200 was probably in early 2004, a few months after I hit my low of 181.
Of course, I was 140 at this height when I graduated high school so I'm still 60+ lbs heavier than back then. Yikes.
Anyway, I'm less than ten pounds away from my goal weight of 195.
Gotta stay focused.

Less Fat
First off, my apologies -- again -- for becoming that guy. The guy who updates his blog once a month and expects people to give a rat's ass about it. I used to literally write 3-5 times a week, minimum. Oh well.
In the two years since I switched my site over to Blogger, I've only posted about 125 times. Contrast that to Boiled Sports, where we've collectively put up almost 1200 posts in a similar time frame.... and, well, I guess my point is that I'm still writing -- a lot. Just not for those three of you who read this one. Sorry.
Anyway, the P90X madness is still going pretty well, actually. We've slacked here and there, but by and large we still work out and we definitely haven't fallen off the wagon when it comes to diet. We eat WAYYYY better than we used to and very rarely veer into the things we shouldn't be eating. Plenty of protein, few carbs, veggies at every meal, nothing fried. Yeah, it's not as fun as eating mozzarella sticks and you can bet your ass I'm going to celebrate eventual success with the program by gorging myself on things I haven't eaten in months, but overall I'm proud of our progress and very happy with how it's going. I don't feel deprived -- I actually feel more healthy and every time I eat a salad instead of a cheeseburger, I'm proud of myself. Because if you know me, you know how little willpower I have when it comes to the "bad" things we're not supposed to eat.
Anyway, we're about 47 days into P90X and this week I was down to 206.4 lbs. I started at 219.8, so that's officially 13.4 lbs down. The goal remains 195 so I'm more than halfway there, with 43 days of the program to go. If nothing else, it's nice to have a wider array of pants choices since almost all of the ones in my closet now fit... you know, rather than just like two pairs.
