Long awaited update

Well, I'm still doing P90X and it is going great.  Some days it takes a lot of motivation to get the motivation to press play, but I love the results I've seen.  Weighed myself today, came in at 187...it is hard to believe that at one point I thought someone with my frame wouldn't look healthy at anything below 185.  No I look much more fit than I have in over a decade and I still look in the mirror and find it pretty easy to see where I could loose a few more pounds.  Not that I'm at all disappointed with my results, but if I do the program again, I think I'll shoot for a goal weight around 175-180 ish.  Right now it looks like I'll finish up somewhere very close to my goal of 185, which is fantastic.  After I finish up I am going to try to keep a diet and exercise schedule going so I can reach 183, just because that is the "normal weight" level as far as BMI is concerned.  I know BMI is a flawed system, but being this close to that "normal weight" level makes me eager to get there.  I'm actually thinking about taking up running, though I've never been much good at that.  The lovely gas prices lately ($4/gallon) have me thinking I should be buying a bike and biking more too....guess we'll just have to wait and see.
