Welcome to the 18th in our series shattering the yoyo. Episode 46 was really about the external factor, motivation. And that’s important to what I’m doing now, but the key word is DOING. So the philosophy is great, but what I am really interested in now is the action I was taking. I recommend if you haven’t heard the episode, that you go back and listen, that’s RunningAFEVER.com/46, IF you want to hear some great motivational philosophy.
ACTION.
Walking for one thing — finding time in a busy day and doing something healthy. At this point walking isn’t an option yet. An update on my ‘plan’ to get back to walking. The new walking shoes I ordered didn’t work out, so I’m going back to Abeo, I’ve ordered a pair of Abeo Active shoes which are like my previous walking shoes. I also ordered a different pair of Abeo shoes with a lace-up closure in case I want more stability, remembering that my old ones got really deformed toward the end of their life.
Episode #46 was recorded on March 18. My menu that day was as follows:
egg/sausage
oatmeal
tuna/mayo/crackers
jerky
ground chicken/salsa
2 crackers with peanut butter
UPDATE 9/16–I am now riding the stationary bike for more than 15 minutes each morning six days a week. I’m in week 3 of accurate weighing each morning, and I’m down 2 pounds. It will be a while before I have enough weeks to get a meaningful average per week. But there will be many weeks if all goes to plan. My diet is all over the place. Today I had the “Bicak breakfast” suggested by my doctor, or something similar, one egg, cheese, and turkey bacon on an English muffin spread with smart balance, the butter substitute. There has been quite a bit of pizza this week, and a couple of high-calorie days, into 3 or 4 thousand. If I go by my diet of 2018, when my metabolism was down and I weighed a lot less, I lose too fast. So I need to find a happy medium. But I am on track so far.
