Today I embark on a journey of nearly a 100 days, from June 1 - September 14. It’s exciting to think I could achieve what I am resolved to achieve. Yet, I feel scared, there’s the voice of doubt amongst the excitement.
Scared of failure. Of finding it too hard. Of giving up. Of missing out too much. But if this were for my health, would I not simply stick to it? Yes, I think I would.
I am a master at cheating myself. The problem is that I cheat every day. Almost every day ends up being a cheat day. It doesn’t have to be a big “fuck it” day, just one cheat meal or one treat can be enough to cancel out the caloric deficit I needed to achieve for that day.
I have a plan now, specific measurable and timed goals. Today is June 1st and I embark on a 14 week journey where my goal is to lose roughly 1 kg (2.2 lb) per week till September 14. The first 30 days are going to be keto, then my goal is to eat paleo. I will try things to ‘shake it up a bit’ around plateaus etc like IF or even OMAD. I will exercise too. I’m supposed to check in on here at least once a day and to watch some video or other on fitness: whether about keto/paleo or exercise. I weigh every morning already, and this time I will take my measurements weekly.
I lost 9 out of the 14 excess kilos, more or less in the same period of time last year. And then put it all back on between Oct ‘18 and May‘19.
Overall, I know what I have to do, but the toughest thing with me has always been my little exceptions. I am still to find a way to overcome the obsessions, once I get into my head that a little bag of Doritos would be a good idea, it’s so hard not to give into it, especially if I have been behaving well. It’s a slippery slope.
I’m going to have to find some activity like knitting or Words With Friends or something to go and do instead of obsessing about a little junk food treat.
No booze it’s going to be hard too, but it’s key. Alcohol lowers accountability, plus - the calories!
Here’s to me never weighing 80kg (176lb) again!
P.s. I shall find out how to do the flare thingy; for now my stats are:
F/47/173cm (5’8”) SW: 80kg (176lb) CW: 80kg GW: 66kg (145lb)
