Another week with no dietary screw-ups, and officially hitting 225 makes this week a win. I’m a fan of micro-goals. Even though I have built a taunting progress meter below, my one-step-at-a-time goal always ends in a 5 or a 0. I’m at 225, so my next goal is 220. That’s only 5 micro-goals away from being under 200 lbs for the first time since…Actually, I can’t remember - which means it’s been way too long....
My daily walk has become routine. Routines are good for me (positive ones, anyway), so I’m trying to intentionally build some new ones. I’m not organized by nature, but these days that’s okay. There are simply too many tools available to make excuses. I know for some people, organization, strict schedules, and routines come naturally. Not so for me (and many like me). For me, I have to have a system in place....
My scale seems to be stuck. I fluctuate between 227 and 228. I’ve been out of the 230’s for long enough that I don’t think I’ll be seeing them again, but I’m really ready to get on the other side of 225. I do think that I’m gaining muscle. After Covid, my lungs were not great. In fact, they weren’t great for months. The slightest bit of exertion (like walking from the bedroom to the kitchen) would have me breathing hard....
As promised, back on the daily supplements plus one men’s multi-vitamin. Tomorrow, I’ll not only be starting my day with a good amount of capsules filled with all natural things that I don’t understand the scientific benefits of, but I’ll also start with some sort of heart revving cardio workout from the Fitness+ app. I remember seeing a documentary on Nova a few years ago about these Australian (maybe?) doctors (I think) who claimed that a morning sprint (not run… sprint …as fast as you can) could be more beneficial than a gym membership....
