Half way there...

First of all, as expected, though I got to 20lbs lost on Friday (normally my lowest day of the week), I'm back up a little today.

This week's weigh in: -1.0 lb.
Total weight loss: -19.1 lbs.

I am okay with this, and know I'll be back below 20 soon enough, and for a more permanent status.

I took measurements tonight, and I had some progress on that point, too. Each of the bust, waist and hips were down a little, for a total this 10 weeks of -3.5 inches. That brings my grand total of inches down to -13 inches since the beginning. That's about 11% of my inches, which seems like a good amount. I still have more work to do there, but I feel good that it's still going in a good direction.

So, I'm half way through this thing. It's a great time to reflect on all I've done. I'm pleased with all I've done, and know that I could work much harder (and will need to) in order to stay focused toward my ultimate goal. But I know it's a lot easier to lose the last 10 than it is to lose 30, so I've got that going for me.

I feel good, I look good, and, to be honest, I can't believe how doable this all was. If you're looking for an excuse to try to meet your own challenge, believe me. Set a reasonable goal, do a fair amount of work that feels balanced, and find your own self-discipline, and you can do it, too.

Thanks for reading!
