I'm here to lose weight and support others in losing weight. Anything else would be illogical.

My goals (updated on 5/8/2009) are:

• Finish fourth round of P90X (started on 5/4/2009).
• I have very defined six pack abs by August 30, 2009.
• Train for and improve my times in my second half marathon and second marathon.
• I continue to learn more about nutrition and eat healthy foods. I feel more alive and energetic with each passing day --- I am getting younger (rejuvenated, revitalized) as the inevitable effects of good food, natural exercise and mental focus.

Here is the spreadsheet I used to use to keep track of my weight along with what Calorie-Count shows. The speadsheet also contains an "Exercise Summary" tab showing the total number of minutes for each month since I started keeping track.

Stay positive!!!
