It's official! I made my goal!

It's been a while since I've last blogged, but at least I can come back with exciting news. Yesterday I made my goal weight of 125lbs, in fact I weighed in at 124.1!!! This is the lightest I have been in at least eight years, definitely before I had kids. I have tried to lose the weight so many times in the past, and I have gotten within five pounds of my goal, but I have never been able to make it all the way and keep the weight off.

The difference this time is P90X, and lots of willpower! It has not been easy, and I haven't been perfect this past month, but I haven't given up, I just keep pushing play even when I've missed a day or two. I get back on track and I don't stop. I will not let the weight creep up on me again. I will not lose this body that I have worked so hard to build into something that I can be proud of.

This week we've been on track. We've been bringing it. We've worked out even when I've been tired and cranky and I think we're back on a roll. Hubby and I have goals for the end of the year. He wants to be under 200lbs by New Years and I'd like to weigh 120. Maybe when I get to 120 I'll think I am too skinny, I don't know. I know that I want to try and get there and see how I look and feel.

We have two more weeks left of Phase 3 and then we'll head into Round 3 of P90X. Thanks again to my husband who is my biggest supporter, and for the few of you that still read my blog. I'll post again soon.

Hello October!

I am loving the cooler weather. We'll be in the eighties all week, which means that when we work out at night the temperatures will be just right. I was injured last Saturday on both of my knees, and I thought that I could continue to do my P90X on Monday night, but when I tried to do the push-ups it was clear that I wouldn't be able to, the pain was too much to endure. So I took a few days off to recuperate and started up again on Thursday raring to go.

I can totally see the burn-out setting in, but I cannot stop now. Not when I am so close to my goal, and the holidays are quickly approaching. I have a dress in my closet that I haven't worn in nine years or so, and I have every intention of wearing it to my husbands Christmas Party this year. The dress is going to keep me motivated to stay on track, so that when I put that dress on in three months time it will fit me beautifully. It already does fit well, and I am going to keep it that way.

My mom took me shopping last week and she bought me some new jeans because I have lost so much weight she wanted to give me a little something. I love these jeans. They are size 6, dark denim, and they are so soft! I wore them on Thursday and I was given two great compliments about how skinny I looked, thanks to my new jeans and P90X. =) It was a good feeling for sure.

Hubby and I are still chugging along. Some weeks are better than others. This Friday was another great weigh-in day. I hit 126.6 so I continue to break my previous low month after month. This week the fair is in town, so it may be hard to be any lower next Friday for me, but hopefully I will get close.

Keep pushing play people. The results speak for themselves.
