It's a 10!

10!

I finally did it! I LOST 10 POUNDS! Today I was confident that I had a lost a few, but in fact I ended up losing 3! My running total is now 10lbs and I can't tell you how excited and happy I am! The past few weeks have been a complete struggle. I'm not going to lie. My appointment today marked 10 weeks since I've started the program. Originally the office targeted me to lose 1-2lbs per week, meaning I'm right on schedule. It did frustrate me that a few weeks I only lost a few pounds just to gain them back. When I started, I dropped quickly, now it seems my plateau has tapered off and I'm back on track!

10lbs! I've been told there are 3,500 calories in 1lb. If that is correct, that means I've had to burn 35,000 calories! I'm amazed! What a day! Upon leaving I picked up some new double peanut butter protein bars, and I'm hoping they're really tasty! I had two really hard holidays to get through. The holy mother ship of candy and the over eaters holiday! I'm not too worried about Christmas. Everyone always makes like mounds and mounds of cookies, but I haven't really been into eating cookies lately. 

Why is that anyway? Why does everyone make colossal giant tins full of freaking cookies!? I don't get it. It really makes me think when I break it down. I get the whole let's leave cookies for Santa, but do you really need 18 dozen?! Probably not. It's completely evident that everyone feels bad about those damn Christmas cookies, or else gym memberships wouldn't sky rocket in January! What's with the cookies?!

Just for fun, I love it!
