10% of Goal

Today I reached my 10% mark, so if you're following, I'm trying to lose 100 pounds and I've lost 10! This excites me, for several reasons:

1. I'm still really invigorated and excited about this new lifestyle. I feel motivated and energized, and while I still don't want to get up in the morning, I always do and am happy when I'm done.
2. 10% done makes it feel really real. Like this is for the long-haul and not a short-term accomplishment that will be lost in the coming weeks.
3. Nick is still really into the process too, which is incredibly helpful.
4. My 10 pound reward is a new program called Diet Power. Its a program for my laptop that counts my calories, my work-out, gives tips and advice, etc. I'm still trying it out, there's a 15 day free trial, but I'm sure I'll be purchasing it. It is comparable to FitDay but I can add things to the program's dictionary of custom foods and they appear for both Nick and I, which saves a lot of time in entering custom foods. Plus it also lets you build a recipe and gives you the nutritional information for it.
5. 20% here I come!
