How to Keep at It - Weight Loss

I weighed in at 185 this morning, so I'm prone to mess it up. 

 Instead, I am focused on the goal. 

I wanna be 173 lbs. 

 I'm happy about the progress, but moving on. Lots of work to do.

Hocus Focus

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.

What the Mind Does to Lose Weight

I used to be more concerned with the nuts and bolts of losing weight. Things like: what should I eat or not eat? Should I fast or not? Do I need to count calories or carbs? At some point I realized that I knew those answers. And they ARE important. But if I know the answers but don't manage my mind, the weight won't come off. Here's my video where I talk about the mind of losing weight... The file is too large to upload to blogger, so here's the link .

9 or 10 More Pounds Lost

I went on a road trip just before the United States shut down. It was during my Spring Break. During that week the virus went from being casual conversation to the beginnings of the Great Shut Down. As I was driving home, the NBA shuttered for the season and Disneyland shut it's gates.  Just before the trip, I took a blood test and found out that I was allergic to gluten, oranges, and carrots. And that my body was highly sensitive to a host of other foods. I tried to stay away from those foods on the trip, but I didn't know how to plan for it yet.  Also, I did my Intermittent Fasting most of the days, but not all of them.  I gained 2 pounds back, weighing in at 202 or 203. Two weeks later, I'm weighing in at 196 - 197. I've lost about 5 pounds in 2 weeks. This is at a time that many Americans are gaining weight because they are sitting around watching T.V. The truth is that I'm sitting around a lot too. But I am still walking a little. Still it'
