That Holy ()&^% point when you say it's not going to be OK

I want to tale a really good look at the weight loss side of me chatthefat goals.  Jan 1 goals were set to lose weight.  Experts say you have to define that more narrow.  New goal lose 10 pounds by X date.

Plan, fake it till I make it but do a pretty good job.

Your inspiration?  Do do a mudder race in Sept.  Push; tell myself I have this so all I have to do is maintain and I will be fine.

1st marker test.  It is warm enough to go to the park and test out how I can do on the monkey bars.

Conclusion;  I suck,  I will fail if I don't make any changes.

What is my next step?  I am faced with a do or die as far as this race goes.  At this point   I suck and I will be in the mud many times.  I have two choices.  This is called drive.  I know I have talked about this before, what is your drive??

So now I need to rethink my goal.  to stop thinking workouts are to hard and keep working to 100% + 1  each day.  Do push-ups every day.  Stop thinking I am the master of my fat and really follow the plan.  Tighten up the 80/20 diet concepts.  Stop telling myself that I will be OK with more of the same.  I have to change this thinking or the only thing that will change will be time.  If I suck at this today I am the only one that can change this.  How many times are you faced with these choices and you give in and accept the low bar.  I am looking at raising the bar and upping my drive.

Join me at raising the bar and working for it.  You can do it.

Lets do some cooking.

I went to my sister's house to do a youtube about cooking something good.  I was going to make stuffed cabbage rolls.  The plan got changed because when I called her from the store she stated, I forgot you were going to do that.  OK no problem!  We don't need these kind of small changes to cause us stress.  I asked her a couple of questions and then applied the 27 concepts.  The biggest question is always what do we have to start with and how do we add health to our base.

What did she have and planned?  She picked up this pack of chicken thighs from costco.  OK main item got and checked off.  Next little gold potatoes and some seasoning.  What is missing??  Greens and veggies.  Our first question is What's on sale.  Asparagus $1.98 a pound, baby carrots, and pineapple $1.99 each, strawberries $2.49 a pack.  I had some Balsamic vinegar I picked up last week so I grabbed a container of mixed greens and little tomatoes.  I did put a little balsamic on the
asparagus on my plate.

I also wanted to make meatballs that I learned form Able James and the wild man diet.

We were celebrating a  birthday last night, did I have to have a cup cake?  I haven't eaten  sugar in so long that I din't want the side effects to show up in the morning.  Remember I get those headaches from sugar.  How many times do we feel deprived and say we have been good so we deserve sugar.  Lets rephrase that to I have been good and enjoying life so I deserve a headache.  What??? Wait!!!  I deserve a headache???  We know this because we have looked at this before and on that 1-10 scale we remember that ye will get a headache because it has happened the last 10 times it happened.  So you look at the score board of 0-10, what is the chances that eating sugar will make me fill good?

 This one talks about motivation.  Sometimes it just needs to be looked at from a different angle.


Habits

I did have to watch them both and I think I did a pretty good job.
