Since I’ve lost 11lbs now, it’s time for a mini goal. I’ve been going up and down in weight for the past three weeks or so, and I think my goal will be to stay at 10lbs lost for two weeks. Hopefully I will lose an additional few pounds in the next couple of weeks, but since there are always fluctuations staying at 10lbs lost will feel great.

I think my treat will be a haircut. I’ve been talking about this for days and months I’m sure. My hair has always been in a short hairstyle for the past ten years or so, with a break when I was pregnant with my first child. Of course after spending 41 weeks pregnant and growing my hair out, the day before I had her I cut it all off. I’ve been having good hair days and bad hair days though lately the bad hair days are winning. I have the business card of the hairstylist I am going to go to and have been casually searching for a hairstyle I’d like to have. I really love one style that Natalie Portman had a few years ago – she had very cute styles when her hair was growing out after being shaved off.

I’m excited! I’m glad to have lost weight again, I feel happy and energized and ready to keep losing. I still need to add exercise, but am eating right. A new haircut will just add to my feeling great.

    Congrats on your efforts.
    I used sparkpeople.com (a free site with amazing tools for the weight loss journey into a healthier lifestyle etc.). Using it, I lost 15 pounds without difficulty, and kept that off for a month of slacking. I’m restarting for the next ten… when I’ll be at my goal.
    Doesnt’ it just feel WONDERFUL to have that weight gone??
