My son is reading/listening to a book series, Adrian Mole. It’s basically the life of a boy from the age of 13 onwards, his diary and memoirs. And one of the thing Adrian Mole seems to do is constantly measure his penis length. Clearly i won’t be doing that but i feel i should start with a regular or somewhat daily check in on weight.
118.7 kg down 1kg
One of the tools I will be using over this journey is my Withings Body Cardio Scales. I have to give a huge bit of kudos to this tool, it keeps me truly accountable as when i step on them the information is logged and updated to the cloud. Over the years i also bought the blood pressure and temp monitor.
Over the last two days i have tried to start as i mean to go on, little and often as a wise friend once said to me.
Eating: I have folded my intermittent fasting into myfitnesspal, i am currently still doing my 12pm-8pm. I have also kept my calorie intake in control and net calories (calories in vs out) under. Drank water vs fizzy drinks, and been mindful in what i am consuming.
One thing i intend to do with myfitnesspal is analysis of the foods i am eating over time. I am sure there will be items i need to cut or adjust.
Exercise: DDP Yoga is well underway, and two sessions done. With peloton i have done a mindfulness and strength session. I recently purchased the Peloton guide and some weights, so i have the intention to do more weight-based activities as that will have greater resistance and hopefully a higher calorie burn.
Tomorrow brings me back to the ground with a bump, I need to start my focus again on my job. My household is also either starting to also go back to work or the kids are starting to fold back into school. So life will play a big role now. The days i expect to be busy, i expect to walk, i expect to eat correctly, and the evenings around 9-10pm will likely be when i start an exercise activity. Last year i had the intention of doing some peloton cycling for lunch, but i think this year will be completely full on and that expectation may be hard to follow through on. The main thing is to keep walking and eating correctly.
I want to talk about small micro goals tomorrow, i remember in 2017 when i lost my massive weight loss, i set micro goals. And i need to really zone in on that.
Will check in again tomorrow
