Lose ten more pounds

Despite the time I gave myself, I didn’t reach my ten pound goal before moving to Portland. On the plus side, I haven’t gained any weight, and I have lost five pounds! So at least I’ve been consistent, but just not as much as I was at first. Things have been changing since I’ve moved and my diet is sparkly. My activity isn’t as sparkly yet, but that’s because I haven’t gotten the bike out of storage (we didn’t have a place for it at first). Things will change!

So yes, halfway there! I don’t have a time goal as of yet. We’ll see once I shed off these next five pounds.

I did it—I lost ten pounds. Yesterday I was cleaning the house, and randomly I decided to step on the scale… and to my surprise, I’d really lost it! It’s true that people notice, too. My mom wouldn’t shut up about me looking thinner, and that’s just ten pounds. I refused to acknowledge it until I had proof, however. Just goes to show you want diet and exercise can do.

So, my new goal is to shed ten more pounds. It’ll be harder than the first go, but I think I can do it. I’ll give myself longer to lose the weight this time around, though; I’ll be busy packing and moving. So I’m hoping I will have lost these ten pounds by the time we move to Portland… two months or so.

It feels nice to know I did it, though. :D
