The First 90 Days

jonesdav254

Today I hit "Day 90" on the journey towards better health that I am calling "Turning the Page". In late Nov 2011, I made a commitment to myself that I would exercise more regularly and eat a better diet. My exercising plan was to follow the P90X Fitness program. Early on, that exercise program was EXTREMELY challenging. However, I've now found that all I have to do is...."just do my best....and forget the rest".

Recently, a good friend introduced me to MyFitnessPal. I've found it useful for helping me track my food intake (something I wasn't doing well previously). Thanks to my friend for your recommendation and support! You are like Sunshine!

I've posted a couple of pictures that profile detailing my journey. Please be warned that some people have become ill when looking at the Day 1 photo for too long.

I should also report that as of today, I still have NOT heard from any Swim Suit manufacturers looking for plus-sized male models (my attempt at self-deprecating humor).

In short... I'm not finished yet, so I'll ask for your continued support as I continue writing the book "Turning the Page".

In the words of poet Robert Frost..."But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep."

Merci…Danke…Grazie…ありがと,,, Спасибо, and just plain old…Thanks!

Regards,
Dave

I guess my explanation was lacking some detail. I've lost 37 lbs since I began my quest in late Nov of 2011. I joined MFP about two weeks ago. My progress on MFP shows 7 lbs lost because that what I've lost since joining. Sorry for the confusion.
