The week was hard
A stressful week. Bad food choices. This is kind of the underlying me. I have to actively fight such behavior. It is good to notice that one cannot relax when there is war. Fighting bad habits requires relentless effort.
It’s time to level up
Plateau – my usual residence before a slight breakthrough. It is time to level up. Not because I have defeated a villain and I get to move to the next level. Which perhaps is not unreal. I have come a long way from where I began and have knocked off 33% of my excess weight.…
One-third done
My desire to control portions has paid rich dividends. I have lost a third of my excess weight. That is such a joyful milestone. I have no idea how much of it is actually visible to others. It has been 8 months now. I have never stuck with a program for this long ever. I…
A milestone hit
I am glad that I have lost about a third of my excess weight. Progress has been slow but positive. There are plateaus and near u-turns. But what I have learned is to not give up or give in. Just keep pressing on. When I mess up, I need to forgive myself and try again.…
We helps me
I have been making progress this week. I am close to hitting a weight loss milestone. This was looking nearly impossible with the plataeuing that was taking place. But I am grateful to the missus who made sure that the food that I ate was balanced. Moreover, she made sure that my intake was good…
Breaking a barrier
It is easy to give up. A plateau makes things very hard. For nearly three weeks my weight seemed to just mildly fluctuate. Well it wasn’t working in isolation. My food habits, exercise and overall routines all took a hit. The weight was just keeping score. But when your habits are not good, you are…
A near u-turn!
The last two weeks were hard. I struggled with my food intake. There were so many events. My weight was beginning to take a u-turn. Just when I was excited to actually consider working out, I began eating more than I should! Praise be to God that my goal is to glorify God. I repented.…
Keep on pressing on
Eating to the glory of God is not easy for someone who was a lifelong glutton. The old habits are hard to kill, they keep resurrecting. I have had to keep reminding myself of the goal that I have. Thankfully, daily weight tracking is a good metric at this point in my journey. Since I…
It’s a great week for losing
I’ve been able to exercise self-control. My portions have been good. And on the whole there has been a good deal of loss. I really do not have much of an update but that I am doing great. I am moving towards my desired habits. And the results are good. Hopefully next week I will…
A difficult week for portion control
A lifetime of bad habits just don’t die. I am struggling to fight hard. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But overall this week has had a downward trend. I would prefer to not get on the scale every morning and find out the progress. I wish I could just check my weight once a…
