I noticed something pretty interesting today. My current weight minus my goal is 52 pounds. That sounds pretty intimidating. But then I looked at it in a different light: there are 52 weeks in a year. So I have a new motto for 2011. 52 weeks, 52 pounds. Losing one pound per week doesn't sound intimidating at all. In fact,…
