Week 6: down 14 lb., 3.1 worse than target of down 17.1

I finally broke the 190 pound threshold, so that’s something.

But it’s becoming increasingly clear that getting to 174.9 by April 1 is going to be a stretch. Not totally undoable if I bear down and do something like Whole 30. But like I wrote last week, my lead measures are more in the vain of a sustainable lifestyle as opposed to a crash course. And I prefer building sustainable habits to crash courses. So I don’t want to pivot to something more aggressive.

Probably getting close to time to set an adjusted target so I have something within in reach to strive for that will still make me happy. Because right now I would need to lose 1.9 pounds per week for the remaining 7 weeks. That likely isn’t happening.

If I softened to 179.9 from 174.9, that’d be 1.2 pounds per week for the remaining 7 weeks. That’d more like it. But I think I’m going to hold off for at least one more week before setting an adjusted target.

83% success rate (17.5/21) on my lead measures: link to full scoreboard

(Pretty low success rate on my lead measures, more on that in the specific sections below)

#1 Focus: read 20 minutes every day … 7/7

Still reading 1Q84. Keeping it at 20 minutes next week too. I wonder if I’ll finish soon.

#2 Eat: B minimum every meal + no alcohol… 4/7

OK, 4 of 7 is not great. But based on my old rules, this was a 7 for 7 week. Solid EGPA of 3.59. Only one day as low as 3.33 B+. So I’m sort of OK with the 4 of 7. The misses are due to either alcohol and/or one C+ meal on a B+ day.

Adjusting next week to allowing alcohol on weekends. But I’m typing this after the start to the Super Bowl weekend, and that’s probably a mistake lolol. We’ll see how this goes.

#3 Move: walk 10k step every day + complete weekly workout plan … 6.5/7

My weekday non-run day is always tough to get to 10k steps. I got to 9431. It rained most of the day. I was wandering around the house before bed to get my final 1500 or so, but decided to give it a rest and take the L for the day. That’s the 0.5 deduction.

On my 2nd strength day, I spent some time reviewing the weight machine equipment and organizing my go forward plan. I have some stuff in writing now, i.e. I have a plan for strength training for the next 3 weeks, more specific than simply “do something twice per week.” Hopefully, this is the start to my long journey becoming someone that lift weights. 

Bottom line

Can I see 186-something on the scale next week? 😬😬😬

Are Your Bad Habits Getting in the Way of Your Goals or Success?

Are Your Bad Habits Getting in the Way of Your Goals or Success?

Think about it – how often do you skip action items on your To-Do list because you just don’t feel like doing them– maybe you were hung over or demotivated from missing your workout and binging on sugar.  Or maybe you let some circumstance in your life trigger you to drink or eat something not on your program or turn to your other bad habit of choice – and you went on a binge for an extended…

I've Missed Two Posts!!

It's funny how your goal is to write every day and then you realize: you missed two posts (and by you I mean ME!!).  I feel terribly guilty!! But I have to say, since I started writing on January 1st, I feel like 1) I HAVE TO write everyday, it's my goal, and f I don't, I am a failure; 2) It comes much easier to me.  I just need to boot up my computer and start typing.  I don't have a creative block (which I am used to experiencing a LOT when I force myself to write or when I have to write for work).  It's even made my work writing easier and more fluid!

So, with this one, I've made up for ONE of my missed days.  I know already what I am going to write for the other day I missed, but I won't bore you with another post tonight, especially since everyone seems to be following the Golden Globes (I'll just catch up with it tomorrow - for now, I have a date with 150ish pages of the book I want to finish by tomorrow).
