I got up this morning after a wonderful 3 day weekend with my husband and a lot of good food. Been reading about external rewards versus internal rewards. Food has been one of my favorite external rewards. 30 lbs up: 30 lbs down. And now keeping off 10 for a year - a new way to be. My new goal is 10 lbs off per year- that's about a lb a month, I think I can do that. There's no rush. I still get really excited when I step on that scale. This morning after my 90 minute hot yoga class (in 100 temp room) I stepped on the scale and smiled and threw my hands up in Joy! Right where I wanted to be... Pleasantly surprised after the weekend. The thought of that joy will carry me through the day- a long day at that.

Bikram! Fun! And a huge congratulations. :)
(Also, I recommended recently, on someone else’s blog, a wonderful book called The Slow Down Diet that you might really, really enjoy. The author is incredible and talks about restoring the sacred qualities of food and nourishment. It’s lovely and if you’d like something different than the usual health-chatter… it’s worth a look. :)
