Today I went to church with my wife and as I was walking into the building a reflection of myself caught me eye and I had a realization, I finally am starting to see myself as a much thinner person. For the longest time I still felt overly large. I saw how much I lost especially in my waist. I looked at myself and had to gather myself as I started to have tears form. I had never ever though I would have lost this weight. I had made up my mind that I would forever be a large person. I had issues with back knees and ankles, I felt I was past the age of being able to make the change. It took me not even being able to remember anything I was just taught let alone my name in karate class to bring me to my knees and make a commitment to myself to make a change, it took a lot of emotions and lack of confidence in myself that needed to be regained in myself to get up every morning and start my day with a healthy dose of exercise and most of all it took many people around me who followed my exploits regardless if it was in a true sense of hopefulness for me or a curiosity of seeing when I would crumble and just give up, but I used all that to drive myself to continue. I allowed no one or any kind of circumstances to deter me from my goal. Today marks the end of P90X for me. I still need to post the last few days and I will. But i owe a great deal to a lot of people, I am so close to my 80 pound weight loss goal by a mere 4 pounds. I will make it. Then unto my new goal weight of 180 pounds from my high of 283. I am stronger and continue to improve with each passing day in body mind and spirt. I am becoming the new me. A journey without end a journey of great satisfaction and a journey that allows me to become all I believe I can be, with no limits.
