The beginning of Success

So, although I've been on MFP off and on for several years... I've had a legit restart. My success is finally not being in it for immediate success; I'm in it for the long haul! Its no longer how many pounds can I lose this day/week/month, but how healthy can I make my body? Which choice is better for my body? My kids' bodies?
My success; I took my "before" pictures last night, starting in at 184 pounds. (Down from 225 after my 2nd child) My long term goal is to be somewhere in the 130/140 range, but moreso to feel good in my own skin and clothes! My short-term goal is 160, which will put me in the healthy bmi range.
This is my first official "put it out there" post btw.. I've seen so many amazing success stories, such wonderful encouragements, and I'm ready for my own life change!
Here goes!

I guess it might be good to share what I"m doing
hah..
So, for now, I'm doing strength training a few times/week and running. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon that is coming up this May. I've also considered starting p90x, but I'm still a little intimidated by it.. Any folks out there double dipping with p90x and running/other cardio?0
