Thankfully I was less hungry today. Each day I’m noticing
improvement (as it relates to coffee). So overall I’m happy. 5 more days till weigh-in. I’m more
curious this month than any of the others. Why? Because I’ve done a lot of
strength training and made a lot of tracker changes. It could go either way,
we’ll see in 5 days! So exciting.
I’ve been asked if it bothers me to make ‘slow’
progress… let me answer like this… No, it certainly does not. I don’t
look at today, next week or even next month per se – not in the way you might
imagine. I always see the big picture (like everyone with a goal setting
mindset). We don’t look at the immediate, we look at the long term – and what I
see is June 2015 – and you know what I see in June 2015? I see myself 100lbs
lighter than I was when I started this. That’s what I look at all the time –
and you know what I do after each and every weigh-in? I add a few more pounds
to the loss column taking me one step closer to the “100”
Anyone that has a big goal to reach will have greater success
segmenting it into smaller goals. In this way we rack up many accomplishments
along the way which is also very motivating. But anyone who knows me well knows
that I never actually reach my goals. I get there – and then I extend them
further. That’s the fun for me. If you think I’m kidding – then see for
yourself a year or two from now. Go back to February 2014 blog postings and
browse thru a bunch of them then fast forward a few months and then again and
then again – it really is a ‘Healthy Evolution’. That’s why I also created the
Healthy Evolution community. I’m having a ball while losing weight and getting
healthy. Life is Good.
