Wow a whole week with no updates.

Just another check in to say 3 weeks of P90X down. As of this morning I've done 22 days in a row including the optional hour of stretching on the weekly "rest" days.

Also finally got around to replacing our grill so now I'm eating lots of healthy home grilled chicken breast :)

Business as usual for me. Still at 174 lbs and running 30 minutes 2-3 days a week and high intensity weights 2-3 days a week. I normally flip flop week to week.

It's been nice to add some calories back into my diet. I had a nice ribeye on Friday night along with a few hefeweizens and some yogurt and granola for desert. For me, it's due to neccessity to stop the weight loss.

There is no doubt that I finally cut down the right way. My metabolism is in high gear and my nutrition is so good that I can maintain this weight.

"We can never totally eradicate the voice of failure from within us. It will always be there, urging us to think and feel and act in a way that is contrary to our best interests. But we can effectively silence the destructive influence by developing a sound philosophy and a positive attitude about life and our future."

-Jim Rohn

"When we are filled with regrets about our past and concerns about the present, then we subconsciously lead ourselves toward a future that is very much like the past we have just left behind."

-Jim Rohn

"To change a life, we must first change our thinking habits"

"The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of whome and what they have become"

-Jim Rohn

By now, it's no secret that I'm a big fan of Jim Rohn and his philosophy on life. Influences are a crucial ingredient to the life you want to lead. Jim is one of my major positive influences that displaces the negative influences we all have in life with or without choice. I've read three of his books and have two of his CD's. Invest in yourself!

Yes!! You have to INVEST in yourself....it's all you have! But there are others around you that care about you too....if you take care of yourself (body health and mind) these discipline s will follow you and benefit all who come into your presence...primarily your loved ones.
One of the main reasons we tend to improve ourselves is to maintain our quality of life for those who care about us...

Couldn't agree more. :cheers:

Im still on track for my first marathon nov.4th. Ran over 21 last sat. tomorrow is a light run only 13 miles, then 1 more long run next saturday of 22 miles and i'll be ready. Its really been alot of work, but having a goal makes a big difference. After my marathon, i will find another challenge.

Same here with me, I needed to add calories to feel better and ward off the headaches. I was feeling gassed at the end of the day and I knew I was getting plenty of sleep. Added back some calories and boom, I feel great.

185 today.:D

Awesome guys!

Six months ago I would've spent my Saturday morning nursing a hang over. Today, I ran my first 5k in 25:29. That equated to 3 in 24:36 which is a personal best for me by almost a minute. Easily the best shape of my life!

I always talk about influences and there importance. Kelli hit her goal weight this week and we are headed out to buy her a new pair of jeans on me. :>)

Great job!!! That's flying!!
