Hocus Focus

Image
So I got up and weighed myself this morning. One pound down toward my goal. Three weeks ago, I was at least 5 down. I'm happy to see it go down. But it doesn't count until I see it down for at least 3 days in a row.  Now how can I keep it going? Don't celebrate by eating something "good." Punctuate it by exercising today. Write down progress and struggles. Keep focused on the goal. This is a matter of knowing the target, and staying focused on it. How do you stay on it?  Let me know right now in the comments below.

How to Get Going When You're a Zombie

It's hard to get going. I mean, sometimes it's like opening an old rusty car door that's been sitting out in a field for 8 years.  Right now, the pollen is hitting. And I'm not dripping or headachy or itchy. I'm just tired. It's wiping me out.  I eat dinner. Very pleasant time with my family, wife and five boys. They get going to a karate class. And all I wanna do is sit. Take a nap really. But I thought, I can get on that bouncer for a little while.  I put on an oldish TV show, The Magnificent Seven. BTW, the show choice is important. Don't want something where I need to pay really close attention. It's The Magnificent Seven, I already know the plot. But it also keeps my attention enough that I notice my effort that much.

Slow it down for 20 or 40 seconds. And I go ...

How to Keep Losing When Traveling... Uh...

Image
My son and I traveled from Texas to Virginia and back again this week. We got to visit family and enjoy the sights and sounds of the road.  I thought it would be easier than it was to stay on my program.  It would have taken better planning to make my goal a reality. It is easy to lose focus whenever something changes in life.  I expect to travel again this summer, so I'll be better prepared. What I did right:  1. Stocked the car with apples and mandarin oranges. 2. Got out at rest stops and exercised. What needed improvement: 1. Put the trail mix where it is inconvenient for the driver. 2. Go all Mr. Mean when ordering food in restaurants. 3. Keep a food log while on the road. What we monitor, we manage. Result: I didn't keep the weight loss from the previous week. Back up to 187. That trail mix and hours of sitting made it a rich environment for putting on extra weight.  After the trip it is very important, since the Mr. Mean attitude...
