lose another 10 pounds

I’ve done my second 10 pound weight loss since April. I’m going to do another 10 pound goal(no worries – I had a lot to spare when I started and can very safely do another 20!).

I’m not dieting at all, except to stop doing the obviously weight-gaining things like eating whole bags of cookies. That was mostly a matter of habit and I find that if I can keep my husband from bringing stuff like that in the house, I have no problem avoiding it.
Very occasionally I buy myself a nice, good chocolate bar, but my sweets cravings have really decreased and I mostly have no trouble getting past the chocolate aisle in the store.

I seriously never thought this was possible. Maybe it was a little tougher at first. It was a really solid habit for a lot of years.

Other than that, I’m just exercising. I run every other day for 40 minutes, then stretch and do some weights and stomach crunches at the end.

I have reached another 10 pound weight loss goal. I have never tried to lose weight in smaller increments like this. While it is still hard to lose 10 pounds, or even 5, these goals are much less daunting than my original “lose 60 pounds”. Even if I don’t lose the full 60, I have lost 40 this way. Two more 10-pound goals to go.
