Each Pound : 9

Nine things learned for nine pounds lost...

1. it's a calorie goal, not a calorie limit
2. fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates (what?!)
3. weight lifting makes your body feel alive
4. there's a difference between can't and won't
5. it's not a race
6. a higher protein goal precludes less healthy snacks
7. macronutrient goals are as important as calorie goals
8. expect to make mistakes, but own up to them
9. getting adequate rest is important (and still lacking) for muscle recovery
