Yesterday was my first weigh-in after 1 week of following this new path. 5 pounds down! I sort of feel like I'm on "the Biggest Loser." 5 pounds is a great start and I am very happy with it, but, I think there was a part of me hoping that number would be bigger. Don't get me wrong - I'm very excited about knocking off 5 in one week. I'm just more motivated to work harder to get that number larger on the next weigh-in.
As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said “a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
I suppose that means a journey of losing sixty pounds must begin with losing 5. I'm good with that. :)
Are you on your own path to a new you (whether that means weight loss, general wellness, a new attitude toward Life, a creative journey, or a path of self-discovery)? What keeps you motivated? When you meet a potential obstacle - how do you get over it (or under it, or around it, or heck - even through it)?
Until next time, I'll keep taking my small steps .....

Congratulations on the weight loss! 5 pounds is a great way to start. For your other question - yes. My motivation is the end result that I want to achieve because I know it will be great.
