Don't Focus on the Goal...

If you've followed this blog you know that I've struggled for many years with improving my health. I've finally reached a point where I've managed to maintain a small amount of success. Now it's time to take the next step, but I believe it requires a new way of thinking.

Instead of trying to get healthy, why not shift focus toward learning how to build healthy habits instead. Follow me as I try to teach myself how to Engineer healthy habits that will allow me to take my health to the next level. Let's see where this experiment goes!

Day #6 – First Weekly Weigh-in

1/5/15 Starting Weight: 346.4 lbs
 
Last Weigh-in: 346.5 lbs
Current Weight: 334.5 lbs
Period Weight Loss: 12 lbs

Total Weight Loss: 12 lbs


A great start with 12 pounds in the first week.  I could feel that I lost weight, but even I was surprised at how much.  I wish I could say that I did lot today or that I’m feeling better, but I’m not.  I did manage 1 mile on the treadmill this morning and I ate well and got my gallon of water in.  However I’m still in this funk that even this big loss hasn't pulled me out of.  Mrs. FogDog and I decided we could have some chips and dip tonight with our movie.  I think we’ll probably have a few drinks as well.  I know I shouldn’t but yet I still would like just a couple hours to kick back and relax.

Day #6 in the books, tomorrow is an unrestricted day for eating and I’ve waited all week long just to have my morning bagel with peanut butter.  On to day #7 and the completion of my first full week.  12 pounds lost and a week without smoking is definitely a great start.

Stay Strong!

    Hey brother, just stay strong, keep slugging away. and holy crap on the 12 pounds! that is awesome! I totally get what you are saying about having just 2-3 hours of complete and total relaxation. I have 3 kids and 3 dogs. I love them all and they love me, but some days, having two toddlers and 2-3 dogs follow me everywhere I go gets a little aggravating. Add working in and it really seems like I never get to be "off". I seriously have day dreams constantly about sitting somewhere all alone, nothing that needs to be done or anybody talking to me, for just 2 hours!

    That's awesome! Haven't done my Mon AM weigh-in (few moments pause while getting DS off to school), but if I didn't have the occasional cheat - able to meet up for happy hour occasionally, or enjoy Date Night w/hubby - I'd never be able to stick to MY plan either...

    Something to try to improve your moods . . . this worked well for me. A handful of cashews or almonds. They're supposed to have mood altering properties and they're good for you . . . mind you, just a handful as they have calories also. Good luck . . . you're on the right track.
