lose at least one pound per week (on average) for the next 10 weeks

in its initial 10 weeks, i’m continuing to keep track of my weight weekly. My new mini-goal is to have lost 15-20 pounds by 20 weeks after the time that i adopted this goal.

. . . didn’t happen :-(

I’m down 5 pounds. Overall, i’m down 2 pounds in 3 weeks. I’m glad i gave myself some leeway for the “bloaty” times, like last week!

I was minus one pound. It’s a start!

And, now that there’s no more snow on the ground (Should i knock on wood?), i’m doing more walking at work. (Before, i would take the shuttle if i had to go from my building to other parts of the compound campus for meetings . . . half a mile of walking in the snow in work shoes is brutal, at least for this delicate Southern girl.)

. . . I’m in.

_{damn it}

I’d like to lose more than a pound a week, but i want to keep it achievable. And with “on average,” if i don’t succeed one week, or i’m all bloaty, or whatever, i can make up for it the following week. And the weather is good enough now that i feel like playing outside, & i might feel like going to the gym sometimes after coming home from work, rather than just hibernating.
