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.

New Goal - 5 Days in a Row of Great Food Choices

Uh, that doesn't work. My mind has to get serious about it. Not religious about it, but intent, focused. Some make it a religion. They talk about food choices as being "si...

  Last night, a funny thing happened... But first some background... 1) I don't eat corn due to inflammation issues. 2) Due to a winter storm, our power was out for 36 hours and counting. It's cold even with a fire going.  Last night, I was the first in the family to go to bed. I said goodnight to my three boys and wife. I opened up my iPad and got in some reading before going to sleep.  Just as I was about to turn over, I realized that I had a question for my wife. I walked out and was met with four pair of guilty eyes. I knew they were up to something, but I didn't know what. I looked and saw the large bowl of popcorn unsuccessfully covered in the middle of the four huddled ones. They felt bad.  I was overjoyed. One is this... they waited until I went to bed because they cared about my feelings. That's love. But also, I didn't have a craving for the popcorn. Popcorn has been the hardest thing for me to pass up this last year of intermittent fasting. The hardest....
