This week has given me many moments of pause. These moments were brought out by words from others and aha! moments I came upon. So, today I am taking a moment of pause to think about those things.
I feel strongly that I needed to re-evaluate the program I am on. Or at least, the way I am going about it.
I have found that the routine that I previously had– worked at the old house does not work here. I have tried to incorporate it in its entirety but found that it isn’t working the way it was before. My daily routine has changed leaps and bounds.
So, I am taking a moment of pause to figure out the angle I should come at my journey now. With such beautiful weather outside, I feel unbound and will take complete advantage of it! 
I can officially say that I have ended phase I (of a many phase journey). I lost 5% of my body weight and now weigh 302 pounds. Still a long way to go, but I am very proud of all of the progress I was able to make in just a few months! I have also learned a bit about myself. I feel more confident that I can come at my journey much cleaner and with more consistency now (especially since the house hunt and the move are over).
So, this is the end of Phase I and I lost 18 pounds.
Now, on to Phase II!
Good for you! I read someone’s great post the other day about learning from the process. That makes so much sense to me. Maybe what worked will always work; maybe it needs to be tweaked.

Congrats on the 5% loss!! It’s too often true that we try to fit our weight loss programs into neat little packages, but re-evaluating is a regular need too. What worked for you yesterday might not work today, tomorrow or a month forward. On the other hand, it might be what you need in a year. Keep on going, you’ll find what works for you.

That is FANTASTIC. Losing 5% of your body weight has a lot of great benefits and I’m so proud of you for having accomplished that goal! Way (weigh?) to go!

Congrats on the loss – and the fact that you are re-evaluating. That has worked well for me and I’m so happy that you’re doing it too.
