One pound doesn't seem like much but this week it's a pretty special little pound. It has allowed me to tick off my first mini goal (see April 9 for list) of losing 2 pounds to reach the 10 pound mark. My next goal will now be to lose 3 pounds and weigh what I was last summer when I left my job.
Now, I'll be honest and tell you all that I really thought I'd have a bigger loss. I've been eating great, exercising almost ever day, etc. There are a few things that I'm going to switch up this week and see if that will make a difference. Otherwise, I have a theory for why it's coming off a bit slower for me this time around and I'll share that in another post.
Of course, slow and steady wins the race, right? Why are we always in such a hurry for things to happen? There is still plenty of time until summer hits us with its full force so I'm going to enjoy my healthier lifestyle and grow into it. This time I want it to stick!
I hope that everyone else had a great week sticking to whatever goals you've set for yourself. Enjoy your Tuesday and I hope that the sun is shining wherever you are.

That's fantastic!
10 pounds is a nice 1st milestone. It may not seem like much, but trust me, it is making a huge difference on your body.
Just keep going! And when things get rough, remember, you CAN and WILL do this!
Congrats on the 10 pounds! That is awesome!
don't worry, you will soon be able to run 5 minutes with out stopping! I never thought I could run. I was always the walker in school when we had to run the mile. The C25K is the best program!
Bling! I'll cheer for that one pound! You're doing so many things right, that I'm certain you'll achieve your goals. Way to go!
woo hoo! congrats on meeting your mini-goal and reaching that all important decade mark!

Wooo hoooo! Congrats for reaching the 10 lb mark. That's such a big milestone - I'm happy for you!
And good for you for recognizing that this weight loss thing isn't a race. It's a good thing to let it happen slowly and really let the new lifestyle sink in.

Alright!!! 10 lbs, Congrats! Over the years I have tried many fads to get off that amount quickly. It never stayed off & and I gained back more. Slow & steady helps ensure that you will keep it off!
GOOD JOB!! 10 pounds is a huge milestone. I remember it took forever for me to get rid of those first 10 pounds, but my losses sped up quite a bit afterwards.
Hope you figure it out, and great going with the stick-to-it-iveness.
Congrats on the 10 pounds gone! That's very cool. I'm an extremely slow loser, so I can totally relate to that. I am enjoying the healthier me, too.
