Only 1 Pound

Back from Alaska what a beautiful place. I only worked out 1 day in the gym but I did a lot of walking. My diet was decent a lot of seafood which was good. I weighed in and I am at the same 29 pounds loss as when I left. I am on week 25 (this Friday) so that's about 1 pound a week. In the past I would be upset but I am going to celebrate this 29 pounds b/c I remembered this poem!

My old Weight Watchers leader shared this with our class when some of us were upset that we ONLY lost 1 pound... 1 pound may not seem like a lot but in 1 year thats 52 pounds gone! For some of us that would surpass our weight loss goal so be encouraged 1 pound a week is a GREAT thing!
